<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 91594, member: 44&quot;]It wasn&#039;t so when he was living there. That neighborhood slowly went downhill from the mid 80s through to the 2000s with &quot;white flight.&quot; What tremendous damage &quot;white flight&quot; can cause!&nbsp; The shopping centers and mall all but closed down. Around 2000 +\- entrepreneurs, foundations, etc... Started bringing more stores in and revamping the mall. &quot;Magic&quot; Johnson may have helped in redevelopment in that area?? His foundation or whatever has given scholarships to many Memphis area high schools.</p><p><br /></p><p>&gt;... but a troubled heart...&lt;</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess so. He was a country boy, who his manager may have taken advantage? It was common knowledge in this area of his womanizing and drug use. I have heard some refer to him as a &quot;big frog in a small town&quot; of Memphis - making a big splash in a relatively small city of that era. He did have a generous heart especially in his home towns of Tupelo, MS and Memphis, TN. He lavished money on many charitites around here like St. Jude&#039;s Hospital and cadillacs on friends especially during the holiday season.</p><p><a href="http://www.elvis-history-blog.com/elvis-charity.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.elvis-history-blog.com/elvis-charity.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.elvis-history-blog.com/elvis-charity.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
