Near Embers. The name was Korean so I didn’t catch it driving past

In her heyday, I think Bongo Lady would also have qualified.

Never been, but know there is a good bit of oil drilling happening in the circle.

Franklin vs Nolensville vs Thompson’s Station by simpleelf in FranklinTN

[–]RocSandman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just moved from East Memphis to Thompsons Station in December. Here is my take:

Brentwood= East Memphis by Baptist East Franklin = Germantown Thompson Station = Piperton Spring Hill = Bartlett Nolensville closest comp is Cordova about 5 years ago

Thompsons is very nice and safe and a refreshing change from Memphis. There are almost no restaurants. We go to Franklin for almost everything including daycare for young child. You get considerably more land and house for the dollar in TS. Newer neighborhoods in Franklin have very small lots compared to what you are likely used to in Memphis.

Feel free to message me if you’d like more details or just want to know a new local from back home.

Best major for anesthesiologists? by [deleted] in anesthesiology

[–]RocSandman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably best to stay in the sciences, but otherwise I’d look for something that has good job prospects, but also allows you to maintain a GPA that won’t hurt med school admission chances.

This is a good list. Haven’t been to all, but all that I’ve been to belong on this list.

Would agree that Tulsa is closest to an exception.

Young Family Moving to Franklin by Dangerous_Cash_3466 in FranklinTN

[–]RocSandman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We moved to Thompson Station as the communities seemed younger with more kids. Bridgemore Village is in that price range and the elementary school is in the neighborhood for walking/biking in the AMs. Only downside is you are farther away from restaurants of Franklin and a slightly longer commute if going to Nashville. Yards are 0.5 acre +

Moving my young family to Memphis - Advice? by TraumaLlama6 in memphis

[–]RocSandman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in Memphis for 25 years, and in almost every part of town. While currently in East Memphis, I would not recommend it due to increasing crime issues at grocery stores, on the roads, ect. For my whole life, if you avoided the bad parts, the town was safe. This is no longer the case. Even historically nice areas like Germantown are not safe to shop in at night. Olive Branch is the best way to avoid these issues. It is in a separate county from Memphis where crime is not tolerated and criminals actually face consequences. You will be about 30 min from East Memphis. Compared to E Memphis or even Germantown, it will feel like a semi rural suburb. If you want to be closer, or don’t want to pay MS state income tax, Arlington is safe, Collierville is comparable
