What's funny is that Tennesseans seem to hate Memphis far more than the rest of the country. It's my favorite city in the entire state.
Agreed - by far my favorite in TN. Incredible food and culture. Grimy and somewhat dangerous, but I can hang with that. That said, I can understand why it's bagged on, as people seem to feel it's more a part of the Delta region than the rest of the state (for starters).
I don't know about Virginia but SC's punching bag seems to be Columbia.
Actually, I have a friend from Greenville who picks on Myrtle Beach. To quote her, "Myrtle isn't in SC. Myrtle is just Myrtle."
In North Carolina, it's definitely Fayetteville and Durham. People in Raleigh and Cary love to pick on Durham, probably the same case in Chapel Hill. Fayetteville has a terrible rep in general, at least around the Research Triangle metro.
I don't know about Virginia. I do have some friends from Northern Virginia who seem to pick on Richmond, though.
