MRI TechSome cities never sleep, this one never rests...The Community - Memphis, TNMemphis is a city in the southwestern corner of the State of Tennessee and the county seat of Shelby County. The city is located on the fourth Chickasaw Bluff, south of the confluence of the Wolf and Mississippi rivers. Memphis had a population of 653,450 in 2013, making it the largest city in the state of Tennessee, the largest city on the Mississippi River, the third largest in the greater Southeastern United States (Tennessee is in the Upper South). Memphis is the youngest of Tennessee's major cities, founded in 1819 by European Americans, and developed with the skilled work of their African-American slaves. A resident of Memphis is referred to as a Memphian, and the Memphis region is known, particularly to media outlets, as "Memphis & the Mid-South ".Memphis abounds with deep roots, from the Old Growth Forest in Overton Park to the 4,500 acres in Shelby Farms Park. And then there are the deep roots that connect us to each other. Bound together by churches, by schools, by music, by spirit and by soul, we are friends, family, and neighbors. It's a city where the cost of living is low, and the quality of life can't be beat. Here are the crossroads; history is made not by worrying about what you don't have, but by taking care of business with what you do. Some cities never sleep, this one never rests. Last year, Memphis saw an award-winning Broadway show by the same name take the world by storm; it saw $1 billion in economic development; it saw the President of the United States inspired by a group of local high schoolers. And the world saw Memphis' grit and determination in the Academy Award-winning documentary, "Undefeated.
