History of Frayser

The History of Frayser. This area needs help..serious help. The ironic thing is that this is some of the best landscape and topography in the metro-Memphis area. Plus, the proximity and connection to the Wolf River..this place has SO MUCH potential. We're not trying to tackle every last one of the economic, cultural, and social issues of this area on this one parcel, but strides can be made to bring people together in an ecologically sensitive area. Education is the key, not bigger houses...bigger, sexier developments...it's the people. Bring them together, bring other people to them, provide them a means to other places. These are some of the issues we CAN tackle here, at Epping Way. We can provide a space that brings outsiders in and creates a sense of pride for Frayser-ites. So many of these citizens feel stuck in this area (financially, economically, literally). Let's give them something to be proud of...something that makes them want to stay, regardless of whether or not they are able to.
