SUMMARY: Crews broke ground on the next St Jude dream home in Beldin, with Tucker Construction leading the work. The house will be located in the Wellstone subdivision and furnished by Stags Interiors. Last year’s Dream Home raised nearly $1.5 million. Larry Green, a St Jude Survivor, emphasized the emotional significance of raising money for St Jude. He also highlighted the innovative features of the new dream home, such as fully-tiled areas with a bathtub and shower. Ticket sales for the dream home will begin in June, and more information can be found on wtva.com. The goal is to support the cause of ensuring no child receives a bill for their treatment.

SUMMARY: Walker Mim, a Mississippi high school baseball player, faced a life-altering Hodgkin’s Lymphoma diagnosis. Concerned about his son’s unusual throwing motion, Walker’s father prompted an MRI that revealed cancer instead of a shoulder injury. Despite the harsh treatments, Walker remained resilient. Make A Wish Mississippi granted him a wish to attend the World Series, marking a symbol of hope as he completed his treatment. Supported by his family and community, who wore “Walker Strong” bracelets, he found strength in his faith, particularly through Philippians 4:13.

SUMMARY: Local shoppers in Tupelo are hopeful for a Target store after years of anticipation. Target filed plans in September for a store in the Barnes Crossing area near North Gloster Street and Interstate 22. The Tupelo City Council recently approved an agreement to incentivize the retailer, including infrastructure improvements to alleviate traffic. While some community members express excitement about the shopping options, Target has not confirmed its plans for Tupelo, as its future store openings do not currently include the city. Despite recent mixed earnings reports, company officials remain optimistic about their long-term prospects.

The City of Tupelo is now playing the waiting game for a possible Target store.
