Elvis Weekend 2008

A trip from August 10, 2008 to August 15, 2008, travelling to Southaven, Memphis, Seattle
I'm going with my sister, who is a BIG Elvis fan. … More  
I'm going with my sister, who is a BIG Elvis fan. I'm not - I'll go with her to see Graceland, and some other local Memphis things. What do y'all suggest a Non-Elvis fan to go see in the Memphis TN area? I will have a rental car to get around. I'll even branch out to Arkansas and a little further into Mississippi and outside of Memphis.

Thanks for the suggestions! :)

blessings, Amar
