two chops, a pole, and a honda

Graceland: witness the power of the 1970s Southern rock-star dollar.

This is Elvis Presley's official big-time tourist magnet in Memphis, TN. (According to Forbes, his estate rakes in $42 million a year...pretty good for a dead guy.) Anyway, he had raucous parties with fans and friends and golf carts and fireworks. Shag carpets, poodle wall paper, mirrored hallways, and lots of meatloaf. Expensive cars, a pair of airplanes, and more employees than you can shake a Frito-encrusted chicken fried steak at.

We got there pretty late, but luckily, PSQ put her persuasive crown on, and got us in as the last two admissions of the day!





The Pole has some awesome photos here
