MS Vs the rest of the south (Tupelo, Magnolia: live in, moving to)

[Scotslass]

Glasgow is by far very cosmopolitan i can asure you. It has pleanty of trendy bars and modern boutiques I personally think its better than London and i've been there. I think your misinformed please look at this
Glasgow Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland

Im guessing you've never been to Glasgow let alone Scotland, my country is has the richest economy of the UK and keeps England surviving with our oil and businesses, New York however is my favourite city, the best restuarants ever.

My boyfriend isn't exactly helpfull and said he didn't really take much notice to where he lived which really doesn't help me.

Back on topic.

Which area's of the south would you say were up and coming and clean with alot of potential with hardly any crime?

Hello Scottslass. This is an old post, so I don't know if you are still looking for an
answer here or not, but, I would suggest North Carolina. Or maybe Georgia. I have lived in AL, NC, and have relatives in TN, MS, and GA. North Carolina seemed to be
the most progressive and near Charlotte has a lot of Scottish ancestry. Hope this helps!

Well then, I would encourage you to take a look at Birmingham. Not downtown, but the close-by suburbs. "The 'Ham" has quite a few top-rated non-chain restaurants, an excellent economy and good shopping. Nordstrom will open there in a couple of years.
Personally, I love Chattanooga (I was born there!), but the job situation isn't so great.
I think Huntsville would not be quite big enough for you.
Atlanta...you could love it if you settle in the right place.

I see you are posting in a lot of places on City-Data, asking for comments. Perhaps you could take a leisurely trip to to visit each city.
Good luck!

A Texas boy, I swear I swore I would stay out of this one...until your post, Maxchus, full of common sense, made me swear off the promise! LOL

Anyway, perhaps I have no business in it all. So let the fact that most of my kin came from Mississippi to Texas after the War...and that I proudly consider the Magnolia State my ancestral home -- to be my excuse.

I too, wonder WHY, from dawn to setting sun on the topic, one hears nothing from ScotLLass about what the Miss'ippi boyfriend has to say about the matter....?

He isn't too bothered about moving at the moment and prefers Scotland. Though i will change his mind. I am wanting to move

Thanks, it's the only obvious question to ask.
