How troubling and how sad! I would think there would be ways to expand
Nashville and make more room for in-coming people rather than to tear down
historical sites such as old homes once lived in by Nashville greats. Thanks
for sharing this with us, Vickie.

Hi, Vicky,

Wow how awful. That's a historical site.

Elvis's Old Home Threatened by Proposed Car Wash

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Elvis' old home-away-from-home in Nashville could soon be
destroyed to make way for a car wash. Caption: The former home of Col. Tom
Parker,
who managed the career of Elvis Presley for 22 years, is shown in Nashville,
Tenn. Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2017. Parker's office and home are slated to be torn
down and replaced by a car wash. The loss of historic sites is a recurring
cultural struggle in Nashville, where developers have sought to demolish quaint
sites of music lore to build apartments and high-rises that accommodate the
80-plus people who move to the city each day. (Jonathan Mattise / AP). Steve
North is selling his former law office space, once the home of the late Col. Tom
Parker and manager of the king of rock 'n roll. North says he reached
a deal with a developer who wants to put a car wash there. He says the property
was for sale for years but no one would pay the market price promising
to preserve it. The story is familiar in booming Nashville, where developers
seek to demolish historical music sites to build high-rises. Preservationists
vow they won't give up on saving Parker's ex-home until a wrecking ball knocks
it down. Elvis' main home in Memphis Graceland is a top tourist attraction.
