It's much easier to get up and go BEFORE you lay down any roots.  My roots were laid before Memphis turned into the crime riddled dump that is has become.  It had it's charms in the 80's and 90's.  Now I live about 30 minutes north of Memphis in a bordering county.

My mom lives in on the east side of Memphis, in Bartlett.  Seems like a pretty nice area when I visit.  There are parts of Memphis I've been through that I was glad to be going through, and not to.  

Is downtown Memphis a no-go?

My wife long before we met did a trip to TN with two of her girlfriends. One portion was Memphis (Graceland, Beale St and the whole bit obv). They ended up going to a BBQ joint that was just across the railroad tracks, and they immediately sorta realized they'd found "the wrong side of the tracks".

A bunch of late 20s [maybe early 30s?] lily white girls from California. 

But they were fine. They're from Long Beach, CA. I think it was the people in Memphis that were worried 

(Not true obviously. They ate their BBQ and then headed straight back to where the hotel was. They know what side of Long Beach you don't go to after dark, and immediately realized this was that part of Memphis.)

BBQ is probably better on that side of the tracks, tbh.

The Hyundai has a switch that holds the car at a light without holding the brake.  I find it remarkably convenient.  I'd like it turned on all the time, but can't apparently.

I once eschewed power windows and seats and automatic transmissions and "all wheel drive" and fancy radio thingees and auto dimming lights and whatever else, now I have them.  I did like power steering and brakes.

the Kia rental would shut off at stoplights

sometimes.........

it was random, I didn't care for it.

certainly didn't shut off when put into "park" which would seem more appropriate .

Ours turns off when I stop, but it's imperceptible then and when it restarts.  I would barely know it happened unless I listened carefully or looked at the EV light on the dash.  It's quite well done.  I wish I could learn more about how that drive train is integrated.
