Down on Lonely Street

Memphis is known for it's Blues music and for being home to one of the most famous people to get on stage and entertain us. Today, Graceland is filled with lines of people waiting patiently to get their glimpse of how and where Elvis called home.

The home today is how you would have found it when Elvis was still living. With deep lush carpets and mirrors everywhere. Modern comforts, that in those days were for the rich. He built a room with 3 tv's side by side so that he could watch more than one program.

Then, there is the famous "Jungle Room". With its very own waterfall on the far wall. The animal prints are everywhere and carvings of animals in the wood furniture.

There are countless hallways and rooms with awards that he received. The costumes that he wore to his many concerts are displayed with videos of the performance.

Once outside you can see his backyard where many cookouts were held, the carport that housed his many cars. Off to one corner he had built an "Inspiration Corner". This, in later years, would become his final resting place. Even today people leave momentous and get emotional when they arrive in this corner.

The day he passed will forever be remembered by all of us. It is one of those events that you can still remember where you were when you heard the news.

Thank you, thank you very much!
