My girlfriend, who is now an Elvis fan by the way how could she not :-), was looking online because she was out of checks.
That's when we stumbled across Elvis Checks. How cool! We found several sites and companies online who offer great service with a variety of different personal checks for banking.
Of course they offer a big selection of checks but if you're needing some checks you should take a look at some of the Elvis Checks they offer.
Happy 75th Birthday to Elvis, the King of Rock-N-Roll, with a possible makeover around his Graceland property. Some say this is much needed as the area surrounding Elvis Presley's mansion has deteriorated much over the past 30 plus years since his death.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The owners of Graceland are getting serious about plans for a redevelopment project that would rejuvenate the popular Heartbreak Hotel and spruce up 100 acres surrounding Elvis Presley's home.
Robert Sillerman, owner of the "American Idol" franchise whose company CKX Inc. bought controlling interest of Elvis Presley Enterprises in 2004, said he is returning to Memphis next month to plan the tourist mecca's future.
"Our No. 1 priority is Memphis," Sillerman told The Commercial Appeal in an interview published Sunday.
Sillerman first talked about a $250 million redevelopment of the area several years ago.
At the time, work was to include demolition of the old visitors center and Heartbreak Hotel so they could be replaced with larger, better facilities.
Sillerman said next month's event will be a two-day intensive planning session. Graceland, he said, "is an extension of what we already know works.
"Heartbreak Hotel, despite the fact it was built as anything but a luxury hotel, maintains the highest occupancy of any hotel in the state of Tennessee," he said.
"What we're talking about is an extension of something that has proven to be successful that will be undertaken by the type of experts who can fulfill the vision."
Participants will include members of a master planning firm, architectural firm, design firm, "feasibility people," audio-visual experts and a project manager, he said in the telephone interview.
Sillerman said the project could be approached in phases.
"What needs to be developed first and how best we achieve maximization that pays homage to what is there," Sillerman said, "but also provide a whole new perspective on where we are going."
Although CKX and Elvis Presley Enterprises are counting on city, county and state support for items like improvements to Elvis Presley Boulevard, the street upon which Graceland is located, the planning session at Graceland will be private.
"The meeting with government officials, such as they are, will take place individually," Sillerman said.
Within 90 to 120 days after the planning session, "we'll have a very specific idea of what it is we'd like to do," he said.
The City of Memphis continues to be involved but is waiting on CKX, said Robert Lipscomb, who heads the city's Division of Housing and Community Development.
The government's role will be "to do something with Elvis Presley Boulevard," Lipscomb said. That would include widening and making the street more visually appealing.
Both Sillerman and Lipscomb cited the difficult economy, with Sillerman adding that banks aren't lending money "the way they were."
Still, said Lipscomb, the project is hardly mothballed. "A deal like this takes time. It's a huge investment on the private part and a huge investment on the city's part."
HURRY! Right now's your chance to add some very rare Elvis Presley "NOT FOR SALE" radio promo 45's to your collection.
You can see the first Elvis 45 record I'm offering here. Remember these Elvis Presley vinyl records are rare collectibles. Only limited quantities were printed and then given to select radio stations that added the record to their playlist.
These are from my personal collection when I was a radio disc jockey.
All my "NOT FOR SALE" are starting at a low bid of only .99 with NO RESERVE!
A great gift for yourself or for another Elvis fan on your Christmas list.
Elvis Presley Rare Records - "NOT FOR SALE" Radio DJ Promo 45's
Christmas is fast approaching and winter has no doubt made itself home in Las Vegas this year. The past week or so it's been getting to freezing and I believe dropped below 32 last night.
Compared to other parts of the world WE GOT IT MADE I know but it seems it's either hotter than crap here or cold.. no in between. LOL
Ok.. here's a couple of videos I've posted on Youtube talking about the rare Elvis radio only promo 45's I used to play as a disc jockey.
They're short videos and I do a bit of reminiscing of my days in radio as a disc jockey. Many of the young dj's today have it much easier as everything for the most parts on computer now BUT MAN DID THEY MISS OUT!
I had some great times in radio and am so glad I was fortunate enough to experience radio before the end of VINYL RECORDS.
Enough talking - I hope you enjoy the videos and feel free to share them with other Elvis fans and pass them along.
