Memphis offers much to its own citizens. A consistently low cost of living enables hard-earned dollars to go further, while a climate that offers moderate temperatures year-round provides constant opportunities for outdoor fun. Festivals and other events dot the calendar throughout the year and numerous cultural, sports and social activities abound. Even commutes to and from work are relatively short - about 20 minutes on the average - allowing more time to enjoy all that the city and region have to offer. And there's certainly a variety of activities and events to be enjoyed here. Traditionally a city and region at the crossroads of America - where the blues and rock and roll were nurtured and harvested - Memphis and the Mid-South are today at the center of a vital global transportation network. As a result, the local populace is constantly exposed to a plethora of peoples, goods, and cultures from around the world. From traditional fine arts and first-rate theater to music of faraway lands and raucous Delta blues, the Memphis area offers the best of the entertaining activities that can be found in other major cities, as well as those singular sights and sounds that can be found nowhere else.
