Memphis- 3rd Soberest City (?)

So Memphis has been declared the third "Soberest City" in the United States....in fact the top three cities are all in Tennessee. Bristol being number one and Nashville being number two------REALLY? Does anyone else have a problem believing this? I have lived in Nashville and Memphis and can attest that both cities know how to party.
Downtown attracts many people from all over the world. And while some folks are tea-totelers, most have an affinity for enjoying themselves. In fact, I have often said that moving to Harbor Town is like moving back to the dorm- only you don't have to study! South Bluffs too! Heck, all of downtown knows how to party!
I am not saying that there are a bunch of drunks hanging around everywhere but these people DO know how to have a good time.
Maybe downtown Memphis just goes against all of the official data? Worlds fattest city? NOT downtown Memphis. You will find people jogging, walking and riding bikes all over the place. U.S.'s most violent city? NOT downtown Memphis- 38103 is the the safest zip code anywhere near here. In fact we are a real COMMUNITY- meaning that we all know each other and we take care of each other. If there is someone who doesn't belong here we question it.
When you move to Memphis- Make downtown Memphis your desination. You will have a really good time!
