Also what I like about DC is that it is very central on the East Coast. Driving, 5 hours to NYC, 8 hours to Atlanta, 6 ish hours to the Carolinas. You could also get to those places by inexpensive and quick train or plane rides.
I would cross Memphis off your list. You know there are bad parts of town and good parts of town in every city? Well the city of Memphis is the bad part of town. Also, Memphis is very segregated. I think you would like Atlanta more.
Coco - I meant to quote this post, not your post when I questioned the whole town being bad.

If you have some information you think would be helpful, please share. Otherwise if you can't keep it positive, please keep it movin!
Coco - I meant to quote brit3218 when I jokingly asked & said LOL, Good Lord the whole town is bad. Didn't mean to direct that to you or offend you.
I spent some time in both places in 2006 and I found the traffic absolutely horrible, just nightmarish. I was shocked, and I live in Los Angeles. One can often work around this by finding a job and a place to live whose locations avoid the worst of the problems; that way one is not in a nerve-wracking commute every single workday.
Traffic, in itself, is not a reason not to move to a place, but you should be aware of it ahead of time.
