A few years back, we were driving back from Florida and it happened to be on August 16th, the anniversary of Elvis' death. I told my wife we had to stop at Graceland, since Memphis was on the way back to our home in St. Louis.

About a mile or two before we got there, I turned off the Interstate. As we drove through the neighborhood, my wife asked me if I had taken a wrong turn, as we found ourselves "in the ghetto". She said, certainly a rich and famous person like Elvis would not live in a neighborhood like this! I said, "You really don't know much about Elvis, do you!"

It wasn’t a total ghetto while he was alive.
