I'm not sure if I have just been lucky, but everyone I have met here has been gracious to a fault. And not in that "I'm being nice, but I really don't care if you live or die" sort of way, either.
When people ask how I'm doing, they really want to know. I asked a group of people where I could buy a bike, and someone said "I've got one in my shed you can have", and then she drove me & the bike to the repair shop to have it tuned up. Everyone says please and thank you. I get called 'hon' and 'm'am'. If I need advice on what to see or where to go to get something (ok, mostly it's been bbq), I have people writing me lists, and offering to take me.
I had in my head an idea of what Memphis was going to be like - highly romantic, bordering on sentimental, I'm sure - but in terms of southern charm, it's exceeding my expectations.
