Graceland
Even though not everyone shares the cult for Elvis Presley, Graceland, the palatial house at 3734 Elvis Presley Boulevard that he acquired in 1957 is a national place of pilgrimage.
Here fans of the "King" can walk through his home, lay flowers on his tomb, see his two private jets and his automobiles and stock up in the museum shop with mementos of their idol, who lived here in his days of glory and in the last unhappy years - though there is no reference to these years on the guided tours of the house.
