Thanks Barb/FairyTale for the info. When I visit Graceland (hopefully someday) I'd like to walk down Beale Street too. I wonder how alike or different it is compared to what it was like in the 50's. Does it have the same musical blues intensity it had then???

Hi Blue Moon, I have wondered the very same thing, if it as changed since Elvis' days. I have yet to go to Memphis, but I'm bound and determined to go some day.

I'm with you girls!! I, too, am hoping to visit Memphis and Graceland one day, hopefully in the not too distant future and I also wonder how different things are now on Beale Street as compared to the 50's. Sweet FairyTale thanks so much for the heads-up on the new restaurant and Elvis shop on Beale Street. I'll definitely be checking out both of their websites!!

Great to read about the new shop and restaurant, Fairytale! Many thanks for posting the info for us!

Well, I can only say that I really liked Beale Street; it has a definite atmosphere to be there; it's kind of cool and intense at the same time if that makes any sense whatsoever?!! There's music being played and there's something about walking along there 'fer sure' but alas, obviously there's no way I could compare it to how the street was in the fifties, I'd have liked a time machine if it could have been possible though!

Having said that, I was there in the broad daylight and unless I was with a big group of friends/fan, wouldn't feel safe there at night time if being totally honest! On the flip side of the quarter though, there's not many places in the world that are so safe at night time these days I guess.
