We describe over 125 places in Memphis, great and
small, that had a part in Elvis Presley's story. Many
were no longer standing in 1997, and we could only
describe what was once there. Now, more the eleven
years later, even more places have changed. But
the history of Elvis Presley, has not changed. The
information we gathered here is valid today. Today
I describe many of these places in my Artsmagic
DVD of Memphis and my physical tour of Elvis'
favorite city.
