Gunmen open fire on car in line at Memphis drive-thru
SUMMARY: A recent late-night visit to a Cookout on Winchester Road turned traumatic when a customer and his friends were shot at while in the drive-thru. Hunter Norenberg described the terrifying moment when a silver car opened fire, prompting him and his friends to flee without their food. This incident is not isolated, as the Cookout has a history of violence, including a previous shooting that resulted in an employee’s death. Another shooting spree in Memphis targeted various fast-food establishments. Despite the dangers, some argue that late-night dining options remain essential for night workers. Police seek information on the suspect’s vehicle.

SUMMARY: Portland has experienced significant growth, with its population increasing by 15% since 2010. This trend is expected to continue in 2025, driven by the development of new residential areas and Nashville’s growth. Housing in Portland remains 53% below the national average, making it an attractive option for new residents. Despite this growth, locals hope to maintain a small-town feel, avoiding large-scale commercial developments. To manage this change, the city launched the “Preserve Portland” plan, which will guide zoning and development. Officials remain optimistic about the future, especially with anticipated decreases in interest rates in 2025.
The city of Portland has seen substantial growth in recent years and that’s not expected to slow down in 2025.
SUMMARY: A hotel developer is considering a parcel of land in Alcoa’s Springbrook Farm, which is situated on the site of a former aluminum plant. The Planning Commission recently approved the land sale, although details about the hotel remain unclear. Planning for the hotel will begin next year. Meanwhile, Springbrook Farm is bustling with new businesses, including the Chop House, Covenant Health’s planned facility, and local favorites like Swig soda shop and Just Love Coffee, which believe the area’s growth makes it a prime location. Leaders aim for a walkable community with sidewalks connecting various establishments.
Restaurants, a coffee shop and other businesses are already open for business at the development.
