SUMMARY: Community leaders in Troy, including Ward 3 Councilman Kenneth Stokes, are calling for the Texaco gas station on Medgar Evers Boulevard to be shut down due to its history of violence, including three shootings this year, two of which were fatal. The latest homicide victim was 23-year-old Jacobi Austin. Stokes is urging the gas station to enhance its security and wants Mayor Lumumba to classify it as a public nuisance.

SUMMARY: Christian artist TobyMac reflected on his evolving music style ahead of his performance at the Brandon Amphitheater. Rooted in hip hop, R\&B, and soul, he says his sound has mellowed over time, shaped by life’s ups and downs. Though he sometimes tires of older songs like “Speak Life,” their enduring message keeps them meaningful. He continues to blend new hits like “Cornerstone” and “I Just Need You” into his setlist, skipping “Good Morning” out of respect for collaborator Mandisa. TobyMac promises fans a joyful, diverse, and unified show experience, filled with both nostalgic favorites and fresh, relevant music.
