This type of thing was a typical sight in our drive through Arkansas
Flea markets are all the rage in the southern states
Graceland! I am finally there!
The living room and music room beyond
The dining room
Oh, how badly I wanted to rush up the stairs and see the forbidden upstairs!!
The kitchen, which insiders say is exactly as it was "back in the day". Note the gaudy carpet!
The TV room, where Elvis had three TVs going so he could watch all 3 networks at once
The fabric-lined pool room.
The "jungle Room." Elvis recorded an album in this room in the 70s.
Other side of the Jungle Room. There's a fountain in the rock wall.
The famous jewelry.
An example of Elvis' purchases during his "red phase" -- from the living room
Furniture from his office upstairs.
Elvis was a voracious reader. He marked up his books pretty good, as you can see here.
Some of the books and other materials from his upstairs office.
His gun collection
The office of Elvis' father, Vernon. When Elvis returned from the army he gave a press conference here. The TV in the background is playing that conference .
The famous gold lame suit
Formerly a slot car track room, this is now used to house his gold records, called the trophy room.
Army artifacts
I ... LOVE ... THIS ... OUTFIT
The sitting area of the racquetball court. Elvis played his last song on this piano.
The eagle outfit from his Aloha from Hawaii concert
Looking up the stairs from the racquetball court
Sad. :-(
The meditation garden, where Elvis and his parents are buried
The Lisa Marie (airplane)
From the "Elvis After Dark" museum: a dresser from his room, and some other items, including a TV that Elvis shot (bullet hole is hard to see) from a fit of temper when he didn't like who was on the screen.
Another highly-marked book
The famous outfit that Elvis wore when he met President Nixon (and received a drug enforcement badge ... too much irony to believe!)
The letter that Elvis had delivered to Nixon before their meeting, trying to outline some of his concerns for America and expressing his worries about the "drug culture" that rock-n-roll was promoting.
An outift of Elvis playing cop (with picture of Elvis presiding over some sort of accident)
The car Elvis last drove on August 16, 1977.
Proof that I was there. Note the graffiti on the wall. The wall is rather long, and every inch of it is covered with messages.
George Klein doing his radio show
I met him!
A store in Earl, Arkansas. The town was pretty interesting for a quick drive through.
