Bailey: Name changes also occur in the suburbs
Clay Bailey
Clay Bailey, a lifelong Memphian, has worked as a reporter in the city four decades. He concentrated on suburban coverage for the bulk of his career, except for a stint as sports editor of The Daily Memphian when it launched in September 2018. He now is suburban editor and also serves as a freelance sports writer for The Associated Press.
Name-changing has become a debate in recent weeks, but happened a few times in the Memphis suburbs way back when.
