Recently my friend and me were in Tupelo and stopped by to visit Elvis's childhood home. He was born January 8, 1935, to Gladys and Vernon Presley in this two-room house.
His twin brother, Jessie Garon, was stillborn leaving Elvis Aaron to go up an only child. He and his parents moved to Memphis, Tennessee, in 1948. Elvis graduated in Memphis from Humes High School in 1953. In 1954, he started his singing career with the legendary Sun Records. And as they say the rest is history...
Just to think it all started in this small two room house in northeast Mississippi!
Many have written about Elvis...his childhood, his family, his acting career, his music career, his life and death.
No one can deny the mark Elvis made on the world!
Another destination is the Tupelo Gigantic Flea Market and Craft Show. A very interesting place to spend a few hours every 2nd weekend of the month!
Have you visited any "celebrity" places lately?
Have a Blessed Day!! And see ya down the junkin' road!!

I always loved Elvis when I was growing up . My little sister was going to grow up and marry him LOL
I seen Jailhouse rock soon as it came out on 1957 I was 11 at the time (still young at heart)
my sister and I went to Graceland once and we was in dream land we thought. I touched every step we walked up because I knew Elvis had walked on those steps LOL
