Re: Moving to Mississippi
I used to spend a lot of time in Memphis, but that was 20+ years ago. Many areas have gotten really bad with a lot of gang activity. A lot of the malls have gotten pretty well known for gang hangouts. The Mall of Memphis was a showplace built in 1981, but got closed and totally torn down after about 20 years due to the crime issues. Hickory Ridge Mall used to be really nice, but it is very unsafe to go there now and you will not have a car, or at a minimum it will be missing the windows and tires/wheels, when you come out.
My suggestion for living locaitons is either south into Mississippi a ways, or quite a ways east-southeast into Collierville or farther out. Not sure what price range you are looking at though; that will make a differnce. Also, Tennessee tax structure is geared toward middle-class+ and Mississippi is geared toward lower income on tax structure, so that may help you on thinking about taxes.
Drop me a PM and I can maybe point you into a area depending on your $$$$ and income if you want.
