MEMPHIS-Tennessee (Elvis Presley City)

Society Travel & Tourism

When I was ten of age—I saw the first ever Elvis Presley movie (B&W) titled “Love Me Tender” followed by “Jailhouse Rock” anf “King Creole”.
After watching the first (for me) color movie of Elvis “Girls Girls Girls” I decided or dreamt that I will, one day, visit Elvis Presley’s home in Memphis…and I finally did on 12th March through 16th…to see my dream come true–being a diehard Elvis fan from the age of 10.

I visited GRACELAND…Elvis home and went all around his estate, car museum, wardrobes and what naught!

This thread will take you to MEMPHIS by pictures and video links…
on daily basis…
