Elvis in Tupelo

Tupelo Mississippi is right off the trace.  Elvis Presley was born here.  I guess I rate celebrities by how much I’d pay to see something of theirs.  Elvis’s birthplace is $15 per person.  I don’t like him that much.  But I did get to touch his hand or at least the statue of Elvis in the city park. 

Johnnie's Bar-B-Q Drive In is a burger joint where Elvis used to eat.

Tupelo Hardware is where Elvis bought his first guitar.

 

By the way, they were doing a lot of work in the park getting ready for Tupelo’s Elvis Festival in a few days.  Did I mention Elvis is big in Tupelo?
