Hey, how about some info on Graceland, I went there once as a child and my dad stopped the car and we ran out and touched the gates. Am I remembering this correctly, are the gates on a main road or were they in the past, thanks,

It's off a very busy road, in what is now a pretty bad part of town.

I don't know how long ago you are talking about. Now of course it's a tourist destination with tours that originate from accross the street. You take a short shuttle trip accross the street through the gates to a rather unimpressive circular driveway.

Just about 40 (unbelieveable) years ago. My dad swore he heard someone playing the piano, used to tease us that it was Elvis himself I find it wild that we were able to get so close back in the day. Thanks for the reply. I was sure it was in not such a great part of the city because of various chats I have read. Better to remember it from way back

Has it been that for many years? I remember the funeral going down the boulevard.
