"One of the last places I take customers on my carriage tour is the Chisca Hotel [currently under renovation]. Back in the day, there was a radio station there. The disc jockey, Dewey Phillips, got hold of a 45 called That's All Right, Mama by some guy named Elvis Presley, and that was the first time Elvis's music was played on the radio. People kept calling in about it, and Dewey played it 19 times that first day. The rest is history. I also like to show people the Majestic Grill. It used to be the Majestic Theater and was where Elvis had his first job. The Walgreens downtown is interesting too. A lot of people don't know that Elvis got barred from there for hanging around too much; it's where his girlfriend worked."
