A long-abandoned South Memphis nursing home, once known as the "Home for the Incurables," may have a new lease on life thanks to two nonprofits whose goal is to turn the property into a drug and alcohol treatment center.
Located in Smith County on a stretch of U.S. Highway 69, the newly named Veterans Memorial Highway will serve as a lasting tribute to the brave men and women who have served in the United States armed forces.
