Graceland, Home of Elvis Presley - Part 2


The famous gates of Graceland as they look today.












Two postcards featuring the gates.
I like this one here with Elvis actually in the picture.

TV Room at Graceland, Home of Elvis Presley Postcard

Continuing with Elvis' 80th Birthday 2/3 Month:

The "TV Room" at Graceland consisted of 3 tvs side by side, a pull down movie screen, jukebox, Elvis' personal record collection and a lightning bolt w/TCB painted on the wall. "Taking Care of Business in a Flash" was Elvis' personal credo.

Elvis invented the "man cave"! :)

Graceland, Home of Elvis Presley, Postcard

Continuing Elvis' 80th Birthday 2/3 Month....

Graceland, in Memphis, Tennessee, was the home of Elvis and family members from 1957 through 1993, even though Elvis died in 1977.

And yet again, I must say that the before, during and after story of Elvis and Graceland is very interesting. :)

Outgoing Graceland Postcard



US-1511719
And the finale of the "back in January" series is this card of Graceland, home of Elvis Presley. It is now in Italy, with Claudia. I can't recall why I chose this particular card for her. I must have seen it in her favorites.

Christmas At Graceland




A quick drive-by at Elvis Presley's home, Graceland, to see how it was decorated for Christmas.










 There is a large Nativity scene in the front yard near the house, and lights strung along the driveway.





This graffiti-filled stone wall stretches along the front of the property.




























Even though the streets were all but vacant on Christmas Day, several picture-taking Elvis fans emerged from this car as I was leaving.










Main entrance gate.
