For All You Elvis Fans!

in #travel7 years ago

Do you like rock and roll? I love it! Elvis Presley was the king of Rock and Roll. The man who changed music and made the young girls cry.

I work once a week providing house cleaning for a local nail salon proprietor who aquired an extensive collection of Elvis Presley paraphernalia.

Ruth Lynce loves fun and drives a hot pink Stingray Corvette which she takes to car shows. Ruth loves Elvis, so much that she named her miniature schnauzer Elvis.

These photographs and collectibles are strategically displayed around the salon, making it a huge conversational piece and I'd venture to guess the only nail salon in Pennsylvania with this size collection of Elvis collectibles.

I, too, added a couple pieces to her collection.

Elvis was such a handsome man! I remember swooning over him as a preteen girl while watching his romantic movies... and loving Elvis... "You've gotta be cool, relax...."

What's a collection without the authentic vinyl record album, of which Elvis Presley
sold record amounts? This one is just passing time these days.

Posters, framed, line the walls announcing upcoming gigs where Elvis was appearing.. Look at the price their selling tickets for!

A news article proclaiming Elvis signed up for the military, and girls were crying.

Here is a picture of the smiling, dashing Elvis proclaiming King of Rock 'n' Roll.

You can stop in anytime to celebrate Elvis, because he's hanging out in this hot pink tree waiting for you!

Nifty Nails nail salon is located in Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania at 223 Water Street.

Do you know of a local store or businesses that has interesting decor or collections? I'd love to see your finds!

I like rock and roll but never know about elvis because i generally hear local music. But that salon is awesome with his photos and owner of that salon is big fan of him. Here also that kind of shop like people fan of actor Amitabh Bachhan. I like that watch too much its so wonderful.

You should snap a few pictures and show Steemit! I'd love to see. Thanks for stopping by @birjudanak

Very interesting. When Elvis' music is played you are never confused as to who is singing because he has such a distinct voice. I have been to Graceland and as the tour waited to enter the home there was a hush that fell over the crowd as a gesture of respect.

Thank you for sharing your story! I'd love to see Graceland one day and I can imagine the hush.

Thank you, my friend!

i like your posts, thanks for sharing

Thank you and happy that you do!

Wow... wonderful memorabilia... My older sisters would love to check all that out!

I think that she's a well kept secret.
