Summer/Fall 2025
This lovingly-crafted issue of the Beacon tells the stories of the people, places, and homes of North Memphis and Binghampton. Community elders like Amos Robinson, Johnnie Jackson, and Sherley Miller have found their place to call home in a neighborhood they love. These are the folks that hold it down for the rest of us.
Here at the CRA we are so blessed to serve our neighbors and tell their stories. This newsletter issue highlights the recently completed Edgeview at Legends development – a state-of-the-art senior living apartment building where seniors are thriving close to family in the neighborhood they love. Also featured are the Single-Family Home Repair Program and the Essential Housing Program – preserving and creating home ownership here in North Memphis.
This issue also features community champion, Dr. K.Andre Brooks, and community projects like the Pearce Pocket Park and the Binghampton Block Crews. These folks are creating a sustainable, community ownership model for the neighborhood – all with the goals of fostering healthy neighborhoods and the creation and preservation of generational wealth. Thank you for allowing us to serve you, it is truly an honor.
