August 11-18. 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM. Uptown Square Apts (formerly Lauderdale Courts). Second only to Graceland, Lauderdale Courts is the Memphis home Elvis lived in the longest. From September 1949 to January 1953, Elvis and his parents lived at 185 Winchester, Apartment 328 in Lauderdale Courts. “The Courts” proved to be a pivotal place for Elvis as he developed his unique style, for it was here where a shy Elvis would practice the guitar in the basement laundry room. Elvis would stroll to nearby Beale Street and gain inspiration from famous blues artists. Tours are available for $10.00. For tickets or more information, contact Uptown Square Apartments at (901) 523-8662.

    Koizumi strutted and gyrated as if he had channeled Elvis while a bemused Bush looked on from Graceland’s shrine-like confines on […]

  • WHBQ

    Site of Hotel Chisca, where WHBQ was broadcast. The legendary deejay Dewey Phillips — Daddy-O-Dewey — first played “That’s All Right” from the station and rushed Elvis in for a live interviw July 8, 1954, because of the overwhelming phone response to the song.
