You may keep Elvis, thanks. I was a teenager in Memphis when he died
in 1977. The HOOPLAH! Year after year, ad infinitum. Yikes. Did you
go to Graceland? It used to be in what was considered a very nice part
of town. By the time he died it was already heading towards being a slum.

No, I just drove by Graceland, just to see it. It was very different than what I thought. Big four lane commercial road with the usual chain merchants, the kind of road that I'm not too fond of. There seem to be more of those down south. There's lots of them here in Baltimore- Boston, where I lived for 30 years, doesn't have that kind of thing, nor New York City. Boston has stricter zoning laws for commercial property, I've heard. What surprised me about Graceland was that it looked like a small box store or something rather than a home. I had imagined that it would be in a tree lined residential area. No wonder Jay Leno jumped over the wall and created a scene making fun of it when he was on his way up.
