Where would you rather live?

I cast one vote for Nashville because it its a great place. There is a lot of stuff to do, the people are very friendly and the city is modern and well kept.

I cast one negative vote for Memphis, it is a horrid city.

As far as the weather in Phoenix goes, everyone loves to talk about 70 in January and low humidity but what they always fail to mention is the days above 100 in the spring, summer, AND fall and that people and businesses keep their thermostats between 78-82 so it is even hot inside.

If it were me it would be a decision between Nashville and Phoenix. To live in the west or the south east. If you are from the west coast you will probably prefer Phoenix, any where else and you would prefer Nashville.

Phoenix

great weather, not too far from great open Sonora deserts

The other cities have no appeal for me

If I had to choose from your list, I would choose Memphis, so that I can go see Elvis mansion when ever I want..=)

Phoenix because it doesn't have the Humidity!
