- -- Ten Things We Are Thankful For In Memphis This Year --
- 1. Memphis Water. And the beer that's made with it.
It's simple, but every time I go out of town I'm reminded of how thankful I am for Memphis water. #Thanks901

2. International visitors to Memphis. They love us. They love our music, our soul, our city, Elvis, our food, and more.
@ilovememphis i love the history that is here, the sense of community, and, of course, the music! — Jennifer Hanks (@jhanks4u) November 22, 2015
3. Our Food. No explanation necessary. Just ask anyone in the half-dozen other cities that got a Gus' Fried Chicken this year.

4. Our unique vibe. There's nowhere like Memphis.
@ilovememphis @cerrito I'm thankful Memphis has a true personality and not a generic "big city" vibe. — Candice Goff (@candicegoff) November 21, 2015
5. Memphis' wrestling history. Which made this Tweet possible:
@ilovememphis Ha yes ma'am. Started my career in Memphis and wrestled in every Memphis flea market you can imagine. #NowThatsCulture 😂 — Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) November 15, 2015
6. That Hardee's is back in Memphis. Kevin is not the only one who's thankful for this. The newest Memphis Hardee's location broke national sales records on its opening week.
We haven't had a Hardee's in Memphis in at least 17 years.... They just opened a new one on Summer. I'll be there TODAY. — dj spydermann (@djspydermann) October 18, 2015
7. Our ABA and pro-basketball teams history. This provides us with a chance to have awesome throwback jerseys.

8. A New Memphis Sports Debate Is Now Possible. Who's the best U of Memphis football player of all team? Paxton Lynch or DeAngelo Williams? This may not be a fully formed debate, but at the real story is the magical year-or-so the Tigers football program has had.
During 2015, @MemphisFB has drawn 4 audiences of 1,000,000-plus for national broadcasts: https://t.co/nxCOdrHd4W pic.twitter.com/KBT2RJF3tc — MemphisTigerNetwork (@TigersMedia) November 19, 2015
9.Bass Pro Shops at The Pyramid. They helped make Kevin's boyhood dream of getting to the top of the Pyramid come true. Also, it's nice not to have a big empty pyramid downtown anymore.
Holy cow! So this is the new @BassProShops in Memphis. pic.twitter.com/2xrokuAOcj — Dale Earnhardt Jr. (@DaleJr) October 22, 2015
10. Our Unbridled Enthusiasm For T-Shirts, Sno-Cones, Grilled Cheese, and Grocery Stores.
