A towering 6-6 figure so controversial even he predicted "dancing in the streets" upon his departure, Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton announced his impending resignation Thursday, signaling an end to a tenure marked by bold initiatives, dubious dealings and unfulfilled goals.
Acting with the unpredictability that has typified his career, the 67-year-old Herenton -- the city's first black elected mayor and winner of an unprecedented fifth term just five months ago -- said he will step down July 31.
In an interview with The Commercial Appeal, he gave few reasons for the move beyond saying he planned to "pursue other challenges." But a longtime Herenton ally said the mayor is considering either returning to the Memphis City Schools superintendent's post or making a run for the Ninth District seat in Congress.
