Vist to Elvis





Like a lot of past trips to see the King, I took along a 1st time visitor.

Noah mostly listened to the radio and leaned back and enjoyed the time with gramme.

We stayed at Heartbreak Hotel across for Graceland. Visited Graceland, and saw the Mississippi.

He was not as impressed as I was in the changes that had been made to Graceland, a lot of what I remember is there no more. The great racquet hall court has been put to use as a storage hall. The impression it made in the past was the wonder of all he accomplished in such a short life. Now it holds more suits. The power and awe of the albums and glass statue is lost.

How could you not miss all his badges and guns. It is now changed to mostly all costumes from the 1970's. One after another. Sometimes 4 copies of the same outfit. All he had collected from different law enforcement offices gone.

I miss the home grown displays that were there in the 90's when I first visited it.

The name change was something I really wanted to prove, and I found one piece of proof. His draft card, shows Aron as the middle name not AAron.

It was in the Pvt Presly display down in the old strip shop.

Noah and I did enjoy seeing the wall with all the signatures and notes to him.
