In spite of this international fame, Elvis managed to touch his hometown in a personal way. Ask any native Memphian about Elvis, and most will have a story to tell. It seems that everybody has crossed paths with the King of Rock and Roll in some way or another. A big reason for that is that Elvis truly lived in Memphis. He enjoyed the city and experienced much that it had to offer. Come with me on a virtual tour of Elvis' Memphis and see where the King lived, worked, and played.
