I love how the kids would follow Elvis with his guitar across the street. What a great and poignant story. Thanks Spa Guy. You’ve put a smile on my face first thing in the morning.

[@dollywilson3395]

Billy, I think Elvis would just love to be riding around with you now, doing all the Memphis places and such where he used to go. I just appreciate all that you do for us, because as an Elvis fan, my heart is in Memphis all the time, even though my body might not get back anymore, YOU take me around and I just love your detailed analysis! I have the same Garmin, and it's so neat to see you going to so many places that I didn't get a chance to go to that last time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. oh, yes...and I used to go to drive-in restaurants here in NIagara Falls in the '50's with carhops...I know what that was like. My brothers hung out there too, so I can picture Elvis doing that.

[@JWalshMovies]

To see the original tile floor still there in fairly good shape after all these years is incredible! Wow!! Great video Billy!!! 👍👍👍

[@rvalasini9938]

Beautiful! I think I most enjoy Elvis stories from those earlier days. There is a certain kind of untained, organic feel to them.

[@rvalasini9938]

Oops! Just saw my spelling error. I meant 'untainted'

[@kelliintexas3575]

I Think after reading all the books I have on Elvis he felt the same way too. He often talked with friends and ex-girlfriends about memory lane. I think that's what he loved about Memphis, made him still feel a sense of normalcy. In June Juanico's book she see's him in Vegas and he talked about them & 1956. The regrets and what could have been. So he felt it too. 😔 she is who gave him the prophet book by Khalil Gibran to help with his insomnia. When he dies she said that book was still on his night stand. I often think that was part of his connection to that book. His memories of then, her & a simple time. It made such an impression on him because of his age. 🥰

[@annette8141]

So cool! Wish I lived to see those earlier days, especially with Elvis 🖤🖤⚡

[@keithhuotari2571]

Geez, Louise(And everyone else.) That is some more Exceptional Elvis-ing, Billy!! Much thanks!!

[@pathough2100]

We had car hops too. I remember them. Very interesting stories and trip to see those places. Thanks!

[@PrairieNightMoon]

These videos are enjoyable but, at the same time, a bit sad to see the lonely and neglected remains of the simple yet grand era that gave rise to the King of Rock 'n' Roll.

[@brendaphillips2092]

Thanks billy for more great facts in Elvis ..time in history Would have loved to be there at that moment in time .that would have been so cool❤️

[@thefunkyangel]

Thank you, Billy 🙏🏻✌🏻

[@mshappyapple8663]

I really enjoyed this one! Interesting and informative. If that land could talk! I can just see Elvis sitting on the car playing his trusty guitar. Those were the days!! Little did he know what was in store for him - what his future would hold. Thank you so much, Billy, for adding another piece to the puzzle. Can't wait to see what's next! :-)

[@suewaltho4946]

You are a good detective Spa Guy, in the Elvis History keep on truckn love from a Elvis Fan from Australia 🇦🇺

[@williesmall3855]

That was one of my favorite vidios yet great work ,I liked the shape of the doors at Ms and them tiles Ep walked on are still there

[@johnkent6572]

Really enjoyed your video.Nice to see the exact place where Elvis was.Keep up the excellent work.

[@myalfie]

Great story and brilliantly told and investigated, fabulous to see the buildings outline still there,another piece of the elvis jigsaw put together billy you tightened right up again your the best.

[@christophers2959]

Very impressed with your Elvis knowledge

[@romanjoe2112]

Thank you friend...keep up the awesome work!

[@carolmaccarolynraea..3153]

Its to bad places get torn down . That place,Ks would be a great place to visit and chow down. I visited Ft Campbell when I was in the army back in the early 70s trying to get emergency pay and someone took me over to where Elvis bunked. I was stationed at Ft Hood and the house he rented for a while was still there. Kinda magical, the feeling.

[@kincaide67]

Another fabulous, entertaining, and educating video! Thanx for showing us the locations. Awesome that the tile is still there at K's. I can imagine Elvis being there back in the day, but sadly, I don't think he'd go there today. The neighborhood doesn't look so safe, and that's a real shame...especially for a neighborhood that Elvis thought was a somewhat wealthy area back then. A lot of the early Elvis related areas you've shown us look rather sketchy today. Be careful while you're out investigating...especially on your own. But...I loved the video and, as always, am looking forward to what you have to offer next. Take care.

[@johndeere8594]

kincaide67 well you’d be right about the sketchy part.Most of memphis is now.Especially the old parts where Elvis hung out.Back in the old days this was a nice part of town,many large antebellum homes from the late 1800s.Especially Gaston park area that spaguy mentioned.This was an affluent area.But there all gone now.Torn down in the 1960s.Urban renewal they called it.They erased much history.Ill bet people back then didn’t even lock their doors.Its not even the same town Elvis grew up in.

[@Stevemc452]

Aaron Lang can’t you imagine how happening it was in the 50’s? Cruising that street!

[@TCBSonny]

Grear video. I always love those where you go around Memphis showing us cool Elvis history!

[@30Whit]

Another awesome video Billy!

[@gwag8410]

There’s nothing like southern biscuits and gravy! It’s easy to imagine being there.. those old places are fading fast, it’s really sad.

[@theflossi56]

Great video Billy. I would have loved the free Elvis concert. I agree with you Dixie is a sweet lady. These memories will live on in your videos for years. I appreciate your time and effort

[@Long_Haired_Country_Boy]

Running Elvis 🕺 off for singing and playing guitar 🎸 was bad for business. Everyone followed him to another restaurant like the pied piper.

[@gwag8410]

Long Haired Country Boy that’s a good point man...

[@Stevemc452]

This was so cool! Sweet cars, especially Dixie’s.

[@Stevemc452]

I bet that part of the street was hopping and full of life in the late 50’s!

[@imaculadaconceicao6892]

Eu amo seus vídeos Billy. Tudo que faz parte da história de Elvis Presley, só trazem felicidade para os meus olhos e meu ♡. Thank you very much.

[@timp5883]

Great job once again sir!!

[@_CoolHandLuke_]

Great job on tightening up. That sign reminded me of Red eye gravy. I havent had that in over thirty years.

[@terrymanuel3850]

Great and very informative! I enjoy your humor too! Lol

[@hallsjuju2400]

I love your videos. A form of time travel for us. Back in the day. Hope you keep up the good work.

[@lechat8533]

This was so much fun to watch. I hope you unscrewed that door plate :) It`s interesting how alive all events become when you drive us to the original spots where they happened :) Mrs. Smith`s memory is unbelievable. Such a nice lady. Thank you, Billy, for another great video :)

[@pugdognation3219]

Can’t tell you how many times we went to Earls after a night out drinking!!!don’t share this lol!!!

[@bonniebarnett7202]

Hi Billy 😊 Enjoyed video today, Thank you for sharing this! Your friend Bonnie

[@johnllewellyn7085]

WOW, is that a tile from K's the business, SG, why didn't you take one, this is so awesome, nice SG,😉

[@AlA-ok5jh]

Wow how cool is that ? Plus there is the pit location & entrance door. ( on angle ) Hope you unscrewed that bottom metal plate. Elvis the young Elvis stepped on / over it. Popular eating place as it was open 24 hrs. Elvis in a zillion yrs would not of thought one day a guy called Billy would tell the story of he at this location many yrs later. Detective Spa Guy. No rock unturned. But thru this info we truly see Elvis's Pieces of my Life & just get to know him in a more intimate way.

[@Wayman_Simmang]

So cool!!

[@lindagerdner4311]

Fascinating!!!!!

[@ruthfeeney9441]

Thanks spa guy for sharing wish I was there

[@rodneyf8949]

Another great video!! Would be cool to be able to take up a piece of tile to keep as a souvenir knowing Elvis had walked on it.

[@michaelivey1087]

Incredible! What a magnificent piece of Elvis history. What a shame the Drive In and the BBQ restaurants are gone. 😟😢🙁Thanks for the Tightening Up! I see their are 8 knuckleheads givi g this a thumbs down. Idiots!

[@stevencoombes7601]

Great video. I wonder if someone will scratch up them floor tiles. Would look great in someone's kitchen, Still waiting to hear about elvis bike at Graceland and if it is the same one. Carnt wait for a follow up video.

[@elladunfee6706]

Great video!

[@daltontomlinson3777]

Thanks for your video. My dad took me to K’s BBQ when I was very young, would have been early 60s. I recall the sauce had leaf tobacco as an ingredient.

[@suemitchell4908]

thanks enjoyed this

[@SenorZorrozzz]

Walk where Elvis walked!

[@robready3690]

Wonder whatever happened to that neon sign they removed? That was a work of art.

[@diannadeegug]

PS I hope you went back with a screwdriver and got that door part from K's....!! It was really something how the tile was still there.

[@christopherarnold1568]

thank you for the story-it would be neat to locate the roller lady sign-would be neat if it still existed somewhere!

[@stephenhopkins9541]

Great researching!

[@jefffitzpatrick2427]

Thanks again Spa Guy!! Any information on what Elvis did to celebrate his 40th birthday? Thanks

[@222e2]

I get the impression Elvis wasn't happy about turning 40

[@dollywilson3395]

I understood from what I’ve read through those years that he spent a week up in his bedroom at Graceland. Not sure if that was what actually happened though.

Another fantastic video, I wish I lived in the US so I could visit all these areas as well as Graceland. I must admit I find all the earlier history just as fascinating as Graceland, thank you again Spa guy, ever thought of writing a book full of photos of all these areas etc, I know I'd buy it, keep the videos coming, thank you, thank you, very much 🎸 🎤 🎶🎵

Whereabouts was the restaurant that Gladys worked at in Memphis, Britlings? I wonder if Elvis ever went there to meet his mom after work and/or eat with her.

[@jmf2471]

Thank you for showing us these sites. It always saddens me to see old architecture torn down and not maintained. People don't see value in restoration. Anything built before 1970's is worth restoring. (1970's through 80's building materials were horrible. Anything built with texture 111 needs to go.)

[@billelrod1779]

We used to go to Earl’s Hot biscuits during Elvis Week back in the 90’s, when they had moved to West Memphis AR..best biscuits I’ve ever gotten from a restaurant

i used to sing and play in the mall they ran me off too it's nice to see that did not stop him it's hard to stop playing music when it's in your soul

[@dreamarichards4972]

Awesome video! Amazing that the floor is still there after all this time! Thanks for the pics and showing where things were back then. Can you imagine how they must have felt when Elvis made it big and then they knew they had ran him off. I hope they realized later who they ran off. Lol. Great car pics! Cute story how she backed into Gene. Lol. Thanks for another great video. Now we all get to see places Elvis had been. 🥰

I hope that would be okay to do that ? Not condoning that you should steal . Please don't think I meant it that way . I just meant it would be a little treasure and a neat piece of Elvis history to keep . Anyway , thank you so much for another amazing stories Spa Guy !!

[@andypistole8363]

Had Elvis stayed with and married Dixie Locke I seriously doubt his mothers death would have permanently thrown him off the way it did ... his private life would have been different in a better/ more grounded way ( even with the exact same off the charts career) he more than likely would have lived longer which makes me wonder had he lived another 20 or 25 yrs would the obsessive interest in every move of his private as well as his professional life still exists as strong as it does today? Or is my theory that everything with Elvis happened EXACTLY the way it was supposed to? please let me know what y'all think.

[@SpaGuy]

All great points.. She may have been able to keep him grounded and the early death and timing definitely added to the legend...
