I have some friends coming into town this weekend and I want to ask this.

Is it worth the drive and 5 bucks to drive down to Graceland 2. Would alcohol help to make the whole experience less creepy.

Let me know your experiences with this valuable piece of Mississippi culture

NeverQuit38 · 04-10-2008 10:27 PM

Alcohol would be highly suggested!

Alas, I grew up in a dry county in the country with all that entails. The driver won't be driving. I keep it safe.

It would be pissing in the face of the King. You don't want to do that. Take them to Graceland, Tupelo or the Rock n Soul Musuem.

If you do take them to Graceland II, then take lysol and flea collars.

I was disappointed.

Most of what the guy says is BS. The tour is long, but funny and entertaining. Worth experiencing at least once.

I would suggest drinking and not going all the way to New Albany to see it. (Stop in Holly Springs).

RationalRebel · 04-11-2008 12:27 PM

Considering DeSoto and Marshall are the only 2 counties in MS you'll be in (assuming you go 78 and not 55-4-7), I don't think being in a dry county will be a problem.

A place to go when you've been drinking and want a good story. Students from Ole Miss and Mississippi State and Memphians have been known to make a trip down to cap off the night.

"Graceland Too" is well worth the 5 bucks.

It's quite the experience. It's not about the Elvis memorablia, although there is a lot of it, its about the Paul McCloud factor.

its also not pissing in the face of the king as someone said earlier, its a guy who is making an incredible tribute to Elvis. He will tell you that if he could die so Elvis came back, that he would do it in a heart beat.

I don't think you NEED alcohol to make it fun either. If you can't enjoy an hour at Graceland Too while sober, you've got a big alcohol problem, or you don't have a fun personality at all.

You'll be talking about if for days, this guy is hilarious. Ask him if he likes coke or pepsi.

Definitely have a few drinks just to laugh at this clown in Holly Springs but I'll warn you he doesnt have a bathroom to use so go outside-the neighbors love it. Its definitely worth the $5. About 15% is true and the other 85% is BS which makes it funny b/c this guy is just nuts. He also loves to hit on the ladies.

BlueTigr01 · 04-11-2008 03:51 PM

Lived in Memphis my whole life and have never been to Graceland #1. Never even knew there was a Graceland #2.

supertiger · 04-11-2008 05:12 PM

We have seen pictures of the guy. He seems like someone who would have concrete pit in the basement. I don't want anyone telling me "it puts the lotion on its skin."

I will probably not be drinking beforehand, but since its one of my friends birthday he will probably be nicely toasted.

RationalRebel · 04-12-2008 08:46 AM

I've never been to Graceland One.

I've been to GracelandToo 6 or 7 times.

I do not regret this decision.

supertiger · 04-12-2008 11:11 AM

It was definitely worth the trip. We enjoyed every minute of it. Even at 3 in the morning there was almost a dozen people there.
