Itinerary
1
Lauderdale Courts
See the low-income apartment complex where Elvis lived as a teenager — and where he first began shaping his unique sound. From here, the dream began.
15 minutes
2
The Arcade Restaurant
Stop outside the historic Arcade Restaurant, the oldest café in Memphis and a favorite spot for Elvis Presley. While living nearby at Lauderdale Courts, Elvis often came here with dates. The retro diner still looks much like it did in the 1950s and has appeared in several movies, making it one of the most recognizable landmarks in Memphis music history.

See the stage where Elvis performed his first paid concert — and got booed for shaking his leg. This stop captures the birth of the rock 'n' roll revolution.
