We passed through Tupelo the other day. We expected a photographic gem, however, found that the old town was sadly neglected. There is still a beautiful courthouse that at one time was in the main square and a few old-time shops. Tupelo is the birthplace of Elvis which is its biggest claim to fame.
I love the painted wall on this music shop and the vinyl record jackets in the windows:

It’s pretty run down now, which is unfortunate. I haven’t been there in years, but went to visit the tiny house that Elvis was born in. Could have been preserved better. (the town).

Hi laurence129- that’s neat that you went to Elvis’ house. We didn’t have time to go by but there were plenty of remembrances to him. I hope they do preserve the old buildings which are pretty…
