from elvis presley posted in music by pete_nice
Graceland is the former home and current museum/final resting place of Elvis Presley.
The tours are split among a couple of different buildings. To the east, you take a walk through his former home, which might be described as "modest opulence".
Across the street to the west, you can walk through Elvis's plane with its gold seatbelt buckles. You can also see a collection of Elvis's cars.
Elvis is buried outside his home by the swimming, surrounded by the graves of his family.

Located in Cimetière du Père, the largest and most well-known cemetery in Paris, Jim Morrison's grave plot is in Division 6. He was laid to rest on July 9, 1971.
The grave had no marking until French officials put a shield over it, which was stolen in 1973. A bronze bust was donated by a Croatian sculpter in 1981, but was defaced then stolen in 1988.
Many people leave empty bottles of booze and drug needles at the grave, but you won't because you're a nice person.
There are guided tours and maps available at the entrance of the cemetery.

Established in 1892, The Central Saloon is Seattle’s oldest bar. It has survived Prohibition, earthquakes, and over a hundred years of patrons. In the 1960s, it was a hang-out for hippies and radicals. After that, it became a favorite place for indie rockers.
It is the last place the band Mother Love Bone played with singer Andrew Wood before his death on March 19, 1990.

The Edgewater Hotel is a four-story, 223-room hotel on Pier 67 that is on Elliot Bay (part of the Puget Sound).
The Beatles stayed here on their American tour in 1964. Crazed Beatlemania fans tried to swim around a fence that had been erected to get in the hotel. There is a famous picture of the Beatles fishing out the window. Today, there is a Beatles themed suite to memorialize their stay.
This is also the home of the infamous Led Zeppelin mudshark incident, where members of the group and entourage "caught some 30 mudsharks and left them under beds, in closets, elevators, hallways, bathtubs and all over their rooms. They threw beds, TVs, mattresses, lamps, drapes, china and glassware into Elliott Bay."
Among other sordid allegations...
