‘Greatest Memphian of all time': Former mayor reflects on relationship with Fred Smith
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Former Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland is reflecting on his time spent with FedEx founder Fred Smith, who died on Saturday. Strickland, a two-term mayor of the city, interacted with Smith often and on various projects. 'Such a unique, remarkable person that we've been blessed to have here in Memphis,' Strickland said. 'One of the honors I had as being mayor was getting to interact with Fred on a fairly regular basis.' Strickland says while he's shocked and saddened by his passing, he reflects on the business titan's remarkable impact. 'He is absolutely the greatest Memphian of all time,' Strickland said. 'I mean, think about 30,000 people in this area who work for FedEx. It's the largest private employer in the state. I remember when I would go to Mayor's conferences and we would talk about big employers. Thirty thousand is beyond belief for one city and one area, and he's allowed generations of Memphians to live the American dream.' City leaders offer condolences following Fred Smith's death Smith did so while also giving back. 'From the FedEx Forum to the FedEx Institute at the University of Memphis, every good thing in Memphis for 40 or 50 years involves him or his family or somebody at FedEx,' Strickland said. But his influence includes more than just donations to countless groups. 'And then on just a personal level, advising and mentoring so many people at FedEx and outside of FedEx, I took his advice all the time,' Strickland said. 'I remember I asked his advice on economic development, and he told me, 'Take care of your meds and eds,' meaning you're higher education facilities and you're medical facilities because they're going to be here for you. I put that into practice, and St. Jude wanted to expand, and they needed $25 million to greatly improve the sewer system down there in the Pinch [district]. We signed onto that immediately.' Strickland offers his advice to continue Fred Smith's legacy. 'Strive to be the best you can be, because he did and he achieved greatness. Now we may not be able to achieve or equal his greatness for sure, but we can be inspired to do our best, in our profession, in our education, in our personal lives, and as a community, engaged in our community. He excelled in all those areas,' Strickland said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Raising Cane's is opening 5 restaurants next month. Did your state make the list?
As summer continues, more eateries are expanding, including Raising Cane's. The Baton Rouge, Louisiana-based chain is known for its chicken fingers, Cane's sauce and Texas toast. According to a Raising Cane's representative, new locations are opening in four different states next month, including California, Nevada, Illinois and Florida. Here's what to know about next month's Raising Cane's openings and where they'll be. Which states are getting new Raising Cane's locations? New locations will open: What is Raising Cane's known for? The company sells chicken sandwiches and chicken finger combos including crinkle-cut fries, Texas Toast, coleslaw and Cane's sauce, which the company said is made with a "special blend of spices." Raising Cane's owner Todd Graves initially planned to call his restaurant Sockeye's, a nod to the salmon he once fished in Alaska. However, a friend suggested he name the company after his yellow Labrador Retriever, Raising Cane, who spent lots of time at the construction site of the first Raising Cane's location at the north gates of Louisiana State University. The dog, Cane I, served as the company's mascot until he died in 1998, according to the company. He was friendly and loved to wear Graves' sunglasses, the company said. Raising Cane's second mascot, Cane II, stepped into her role in 1999. She was a therapy dog who visited hospital patients around the country. As the company mascot, Cane II spent time at the company's Restaurant Support Office and attended community events until 2016. Most recently, Cane III, born in 2017, was appointed mascot. "She loves visiting Raising Cane's Restaurants and receiving belly rubs from crewmembers," the company said, noting that Raising Cane's fans can follow her on social media at @RaisingCane3.

Mayor proposes ordinance to invest xAI tax revenue into Memphis communities
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis Mayor Paul Young announced an ordinance he is taking to the city council that would turn tax revenue from xAI into investments for Memphians. Mayor Paul Young was on News 3 at 3, defending Elon Musk's artificial intelligence facility in an interview with Alex Coleman on Thursday. 'I think that there's been a lot claims and accusations made without being rooted in fact,' Young said. 'I think it's really important to balance the conversation.' Environmental groups have claimed that xAI plans to install 45 to 90 gas turbines to power their supercomputer, and is operating turbines illegally. Rep. Justin Pearson, NAACP aim to halt xAI project in Memphis Young said he doesn't know where those numbers came from, but the company had 35 methane-gas turbines. It has dropped down to 21 turbines and would only use 15 for backup power. The company legally has 365 days to use them without a permit. Young said he understood that citizens feel like they weren't told much about the project before it launched, but he said that is because, unlike many other developments, xAI didn't ask for public incentives from the start. 'In this instance, we flipped it on its head, we said 75% can go to the broader community, but 25% of this investment should stay right here in the neighborhood,' said Mayor Young. Memphis mayor meets with state leaders over xAI concerns 'We can do both things. We can make sure that we are protecting our people, protecting the environment, and that we're bringing historic investment to our neighborhoods and communities,' he said. 'Well, in its first year, there is going to be $25 million between the city and county that's invested in the community,' said Mayor Young. He told WREG the city is set to receive about $12 million in tax revenue, and 25% of that will be going to communities around the supercomputer facility. 'We'll be able to do home repairs, repair roofs, repair HVAC systems, remove lead and contaminants that are actually making people sick,' said Mayor Young. 'Global arms race with artificial intelligence': TN rep. supports xAI project moving forward The clarification comes two days after state lawmakers weighed in on xAI. Earlier this week, activists led by state Rep. Justin J. Pearson demanded that leaders fight to stop xAI from moving forward in Memphis by denying permit applications for the turbines. Young then met with those leaders to discuss their concerns. 'Lawmakers Meet with Mayor Young about xAI,' said State Rep. Justin Pearson (D-Memphis). 'I stand firm that that nothing matters if you can not breathe clean air, drink clean water, and plant in clean soil.' 'The reason they filed for that permit is because they want those turbines to be back-up power because they are going to be tapping into the MLGW grid,' said Young. Memphis mayor meets with state leaders over xAI concerns Young said that xAI's Grey Water Facility will handle reducing the strain on the aquifer by 9%. 'It's also going to allow TVA, who does have a well that is drilled into the aquifer when they pull 6 and a half million gallons of water a day, it's going to allow them to get off the aquifer,' said Mayor Young. He said the rumors of him signing a non-disclosure agreement and a big personal cash deal with xAI are not true. Young said what is true is that xAI has the potential to grow the digital delta infusing much-needed high-tech jobs and tax dollars in the Mid-South. 'So while the number of jobs at xAI is roughly around 200 now, our goal is to figure out how we amplify.' The mayor told WREG that talks have started on ways to incorporate AI-based training in schools. Top schools mentioned to be included in the potential program are Whitehaven, John P. Freeman, Fairley, Mitchell, and Westwood. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
