She even got married in the Chapel on Graceland. Back then it was weird. If you stayed at the Heart Break Hotel across the street and stuck to the tour areas, you saw almost no crime. Even going over to Beal street to eat at BB Kings and hear him play felt safe. But get one block away from either one and you would feel like bait in a bear trap.philip964 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 08, 2022 12:03 pm https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ezekiel-ke ... four-dead/
Murdered 4 wounded 3 before being captured.
Chief of Police has no idea why Memphis is suddenly murder Capitol of the South, edging out Houston for a day.
We lived in Hughs AR for three years and spent most of our weekends in Memphis. This was in the mid 1980s before cell phones. We kept a city map and phone book in the car. We could look up the address of a place we wanted to go with the phone book and use the map to get there. But a straight shot on the map wasn't necessarily the most advisable route.
I was trying to get to Graceland early in out time there. I was about two blocks off Elvis Pressley Blvd. and getting concerned. Finally, when a drunk guy literally fell on the hood of the car at an intersection, I hooked a left and got on Elvis Pressley Blvd. Just a couple of blocks away and it was a different world.
