The shuttle driver to the Guesthouse from the airport basically lectured my sisters and I to be very careful in Memphis and do not walk anywhere once the sun goes down. We appreciated the information.
We walked 6 blocks at night with my family from the hotel to Beal Street, no problems whatsoever and heavy Police presence around.
I always lock my car, even for a couple of minutes. Thieves are everywhere, not just Memphis! Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for the heads up! I have family in Memphis, they tell me horror stories all the time about the crime, HOWEVER, it's everywhere now, not just Memphis. The world is falling apart....no respect or compassion for each other. God has been surely left out...and that's so sad......
Memphis is a slum now I doubt even Elvis would still live in Graceland if he was alive. Doubt he would ever have sold it but he sure wouldn't be living there! Graceland needs to provide security, they make enough money to protect the tourist. Yes lock the doors but at some level Graceland needs to step up to the plate
Just Here he would probably live there but Elvis would probably have more security and have tried to improve the surrounding areas. Whitehaven is dangerous
They have stepped up to the plate. It's called gated secured parking. If instead you park out front of Graceland for the photobomb, then expect lesser security for your vehicle.
Thank you. My friends recently went to Graceland they told us about the same things. Stay close to Graceland and make sure you're in your room at night. Don't go sight see after dark
Graceland is a primary target for theives because it's a tourist attraction. It's Just too bad that people have to pilfer and be low lifes! Thank you Billy for making people aware and giving people a heads up!
Ive heard bad things about Memphis before , thanks Billy for the PSA ...
As a resident of Memphis, great advice Spa Guy!!! Enjoy the city but be aware of your surroundings.
Great tip, Billy. I still shake my head at the time you were robbed at the cemetery. I mean, you were right THERE and it still didn't stop them. Could've been a really dangerous situation.
Excellent advice. When I visited Memphis in 1987, on my way from the airport to the hotel where I was staying in the city of Memphis, I asked the taxi driver about how safe it was to walk around Memphis and he replied 'Stay away from bus depots and don't be letting nobody creep up on you.' Wasn't sure about how I could stop someone creeping up on me but I survived without incident by exercising common sense and not putting myself at risk.
I keep my head on a swivel at all times it doesn't matter where you are , Stay Safe and sound everyone, Thank You Billy , Sorry you were violated
We all love your videos Billy! Thank you for all you do! Please be safe.....always!!!
Thank you Billy, I’m from Australia 🇦🇺 & hope to visit Graceland one day....need to know these important things for future reference 👍🏻
Stay safe Elvis Fans 👑⚡️💙🙏🏻
Billy, so sorry to hear this. That is sad to be robbed right in front of Graceland! You would think with the tourist tax that we pay when we visit Graceland that Memphis could afford more police patrol. on the streets. Or Graceland could provide more security guards on the streets there. EPE charges enough money that visit Graceland so let them pay for the security. Memphis needs to fix this ongoing problem or folks will stop going. No wonder Elvis had so many guns! LOL! JK...it wasn't that bad when he was alive and lived there. Thanks for the PSA!
Its the HOOD..i mean look at te pavement how rough the road is..they are crazy..the stores are a Mess.the only good place is The Guesthouse and that isnt safe either cause they hired the wrong staff. Who were stealing from the GUEST but they caught them..be safe..it a beautiful place but Rough part of town..JUST bad on Elvis Name..ELVIS. I am so sorry people make it Hard on Your LEGACY
It's a sad world we live in, even @ Graceland.
Thank you Sir 👍 Someday i love to visit Memphis that's on my Bucket list! 😉 Greetings from 🌞CALIFORNIA
Don't go to Memphis. Just visit Graceland. It's South of Memphis, but you will need to be careful there too. Nashville is so much safer.
I’ve only been to Memphis twice and had great experiences both times. Just be safe out there and lock your doors.
Gosh man! Ugh thieves !!!!😡
Thank you Mr. Billy! Be safe. 👍🏼💛
Absolutely Mr. Billy! So sad that there are so many low lifes out there. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you Billy!!! Very thoughtful of you!
Thank you. I visited over the weekend and recognized you at Marlo's. Would have loved to Met you, but didn't want to disturb you. Keep up these fabulous videos
Anytime you see me you say hello..
@@SpaGuy well thank you! That's very kind.
Thanks spar guy love you Richard UK take care
Sorry to hear this Billy. You defiantly don't deserve this happening again after the cemetery incident. Glad to know you're safe. Thank's for all you do for us fans.
It's TRUE first time I went booked a hotel on line didn't know was a block from Graceland came down next day car gone thank God my husband completely unloaded the car
Julie Gross WOW! What a terrible thing to happen especially when you were near a place that is revered though out the world.
@@dinobuick I know it was my husband 1970 Chevy Malibu he was in tears we didn't get the car back and had to get a rental to go home but Graceland was great
I am sure they watch for out of town license plates also. They know we are visitors to see Graceland. That is sad.
Good advice Billy, people on holiday are easily distracted and easy victims.
I am clearly an easy victim.. I am just no thinking about thieves..
Lock your doors. Nothing in plain site. Don’t travel off busy streets at night. Don’t walk alone. Don’t carry cash. Don’t wear your good jewelry. If you get bumped by a car drive to a police station and call them enroute. Always always look and count to 5 after the light changes cause no one stops! It’s Memphis mane!! But I love it!
Fourth most crime-ridden city in the country. Do you know what the top cities ALL have in common? Anyway, it's a shame what Memphis has become...Elvis would not be happy. Looking forward to you Billy Stanley vids.
n8trsho Isn't it a shame that in our own cities in our own country we have to be scared,and carry a gun just to stay safe.
Yep
yes I know....most big cities are run by Democrats who push the BLM and defund their police and their DAs believes in not prosecuting criminals and letting them out without bail....that's the facts
I go to Memphis every 3 months. Go prepared. Combat zone.
Spa Guy!! This coming June my wife and I have made arrangements too finally visit Graceland for the first time!! Where from a small town in northern California.It wasn't easy convincing my wife of making this trip for 10 days!! After playing your videos for her and showing how much there is to see in Memphis and Tupelo Mississippi she finally gave in!!!unfortunately you can bet I won't be showing her this video!! But thanks for the advice!!perfect timming!!!
Sure be nice to see a video on how the area has changed though the years.. thanks for the heads up 👍🏼
Oh no not again Billy. So glad they didn't get anything valuable. So glad you are ok. I live in a small rural town in the country.. I lock my car and my house. Evil is everywhere.
Memphis is like Jackson Mississippi....... not a safe place no matter where you are...... always watch your back!!! ...
SO So SAD and Thank you for The Reminder God Bless You 💖 🌹 🌹 🌹 💖
That's disgusting. Sorry to hear that.
You need a car alarm that goes " If you lookin' for trouble.."
haha
Thanks billy. Myself and my sister were approached on Beale Street one morning early around 10.am, A guy asked us for for money In return for him giving us tips on places to go around memphis. We told him we didn't have any change on us, He got really nasty. We said we would go into the cafe and get a coffee and change, We stayed in there. he waited outside for us... We saw a police car drive up and the guy disappeared. It kind of ruined my holiday for me, He had a bin liner over his head he looked like he had something hiding underneath it. Always be aware who Is around you at any time In Memphis people.
Avoid fast food restaurants. And keep gas tank full. Don’t carry a purse. Don’t go anywhere alone.
Hi Billy, sorry this happened, Thank you for sharing this, I will share your video on Facebook too, with Elvis Week around the corner People need too be aware! Thanks for sharing, my friend! Your friend Bonnie
THANK YOU SPA GUY FOR ALERTING US . SUCH A SHAME THAT IT HAS COME TO THIS. ELVIS WOULD BE SO UPSET THAT HIS BELOVED GRACELAND IS IN AN AREA SUCH AS THE ONE YOU HAVE DESCRIBED. THANKS AGAIN SPA GUY.
Memphis is like Chicago and Detroit. It used to be a nice place to live way back in the day but it's ghetto now.
Actually Chicago been the ghetto..
Elvis-"in the ghetto"
70applejack , no friend, chicago is a city of over 3 million, the places where you can be robbed are isolated neighborhoods where no one has any reason to be at, unless you actually live there. Im from this part of town and ive seen a few scrapes but whem ive been to Memphis, it is a lot more dangerous because there are no pockets of danger zones like in chicago. You see what i mean? Just a friendly note of difference.
Gee I wonder what happened 😒
and I wonder why....beautiful neighborhoods in Chicago years ago, now ruined and destroyed. Its the people that move in and don't appreciate, destroy and neglect, we all know what I'm talking about
Justyna Buniowska-Mate, well its complicated, not as simple as you think
thank you again my friend spa guy for all hard work u put in to this for ever one to see and get to know about .best wist to you may god bless you t.c.b lovey work just wish was there with u 2 .thank u
Thanks For Sharing The Information 😊👍. That's Crazy
Some people is crazy 😂
City of Memphis should be ashamed...but there not... Cars getting robbed at Sun studios....Graceland...even cemeteries. Nothing is of Limits. Spa Guy is just having to do some tough love, the truth about Memphis. I have stayed in Memphis many times; at the westin inn on Beale. The area around Graceland does not give me warm fuzzies. Especially for our friends from overseas DEFINITELY need to be warned about this. Thx SPA GUY for using your platform for tough love with regard to Memphis conditions. Hopefully, the Memphis city leaders will see this video with comments and maybe they will take some action.
It's an absolute shame what Memphis has turned into.
Thats why i tighten up with my .357 everywhere i go just in case i have to use it. Heaven forbid that i have to but I work in bad areas frequently. Sorry you lost your things Billy. Lesson learned. Thanks for the info brother. God bless
Well that's a disrespect to Elvis Presley..I bet he'd be P,O... sorry to hear Billy..thanks for the warning n Glad they didn't get anything of importance..God Bless
Thanks for the safety warnings Billy. I always try to remember to lock my vehicle even if i am only going in a store to pay for gas because it really isn't safe anywhere. So sad that people are so dangerous and it doesn't bother them at all to harm or steal from others. Your the best Spa Guy. God Bless.
You're such a great person... and from what I can tell- very much a proactive person as well... Try not to beat yourself up ... I can see where you would have been sidetracked momentarily. Appreciate all the devotion, time, & effort you put forth- to bring us these wonderful stories/videos... Thanks for the PSA ... we ALL have room to tighten up lol
Be safe Mr. Spa Guy in your adventures please. I have heard that Memphis is not safe in the daytime much less at night. Really sad ! Thanks for the PSA. Tighten up. Lord bless.
Thank you very much for sharing Spa Guy. Thank you for your warning to other people
How sad the world's become 😢 but great advice! I never venture out at night unless I have to tighten up ! 😎👍
Thanks Spa Guy
When my Grand son had cancer my daughter said that Memphis was bad around that area of st.jude
I love to come see Graceland way it is now really doubt that someone said wasn't safe really there isn't anywhere safe anymore
Always been my dream to get to see Graceland
Because of you Billy and your Videos helps me lot really get to know more about Elvis I seen him in Charleston Wv in 1975 I was young love every minute of him
My Aunt that passed away talk to him said that he was wonderful Man ... Have Blessed Day Billy so glad ur out there putting Videos together and of course Trey....
There are good and bad people were ever you go, I am so sorry Billy that this has happened to you , and I don't live in the USA, all we see today is sad things on tv, Billy good video, and like you said if people are going there lock you're cars, EP wouldn't want anything like this to happen to his fans.
The driving is just like in my city! We went from country ppl, agriculture, ranches to over 100,000 ppl from San Francisco & other cities around there. Oregon here we come!
Thanks S.G., I plan on going for my first time very soon and want to bring my children (very young), so this is good information. It’s very sad though, the King did so much for that area and loved it so much, to see it turn into a crime ridden dump, angers me.
Tank you SPA GUY.
Memphis. Is. Rough. Especially. At. Night
I’m sorry, I went to Memphis alone. I felt safe then. People in Memphis was very nice to me. Yes lock your doors. Thank you for the blogs.
Billy truly Thank you and Trey for all the Videos ❤️
Every Video is very special to me
Be safe....
I have to say that I honestly felt safer in downtown Memphis where I stayed then I did in the suburbs around Graceland... In the years that Ive gone there it seems like it's getting more and more ghetto in the Graceland area and they've really revitalized downtown.. This is coming from a Baltimore boy so I'm no stranger to crime... I've had my truck broken into twice in my own driveway
I’m so sorry that happened to you. I love your videos they truly are the best ones about Elvis. Take care and don’t let the thieves get you down. 😎
Unfortunately, it seems like that’s any big city in America these days. I live in a smaller community about 10 miles west of a larger city. The larger city has shootings and car burglaries almost daily. That’s the sad state of America these days.
ezymk69 Sorry Memphis is a city controlled by Liberal Democrats and they are ruing the place just like they are ruining other great cities like Los Angles San Francisco, Seattle. I could go on & on.
dinobuick I definitely agree with you!!
@@dinobuick It’s not liberal Democrats. It is a reflection of the increased poverty in the nation.
@@katesleuth1156 With all due respect Memphis has been a troubled area for years . Even in the 70’s and eighties tourists like me were wary to go to Memphis.
Liberal Democrats like Congressman Cohn (whose district includes Memphis) represent the do nothing but talk that hasn’t improved quality of life life in Memphis since they have been in power.
Now the liberal Democrats if left unchecked will destroy Portland, Seattle, Chicago, NewYork and Washington DC.
Getting back to Memphis the home of the King of Rock& Roll who influenced music all over the world and is a disgrace and I for one am embarrassed to see the disrespect shown to visitors who come to pay homage to the king and feel excited by walking where he walked.
I’m sure you are insinuating that it is President Trump’s fault. He gets blame for all the crap that is going on in this country.
Patriotic Citizens know the truth. These problems can be fixed if the politicians will work together.
That’s not ever going to happen unless we get term limits to bring fresh faces on both sides to work things out!
@@katesleuth1156 no they are not stealing cause they have no money and are in real need...they have become lawless and know that the DAs will not really prosecute and will let them back on the streets without bail...
Yes ' l appreciate what your saying. We had no knowledge on the safety issues in Memphis . Coming from Australia where it was relatively safe to venture out after dark . We quickly learnt its not the same in Memphis. When we went into a local supermarkets and liquor store ' something strange happened .. We all have built in danger meters and mine was going haywire.. Obviously we entered shops in a no go area we had no idea about . For the rest of our visit we were more careful where we went to. On a positive note ' the rest of our stay was fantastic and we would love to re visit some of the places we failed to see the first time. Loved Gracelands ...
Thank you for being so nice to warn people it’s not a bad thing we all have to be careful of these days I love your videos I love you too what are your biggest fan
this happens everywhere, there is no place in the world where crime does not exist, but it is always good to know these little tips .. take care billy, thanks for the videos as always.
I just returned from Memphis. Memphis had some of the worst drivers and worst residential areas I have ever seen, and I am from the Chicago area. I barely avoided two collisions in two days. The parking lots were filthy at most places, and the friendly hospitable place I once remembered is just that - a memory. It seems if you wander beyond the security designated tourist areas you run the risk of Robbery and Battery. Beale Street is just chaos; what once was a relaxing atmosphere is now a place you must keep your head on a swivel. That is not very relaxing. Graceland, Sun Studios, Stax, and a few other points are all worth visiting. However, if Memphis stays on the path they are on they might as well kiss their tourism dollars goodbye.
You are right!!
It’s kind of sad that a great southern city like Memphis has become such a depressed and dilapidated slum land.
Sorry to hear Billy..thanks for the warning !
Shows everyone how the country is going to hell. My dad told me that they used to leave the car keys in the ignition switch and leave the car unlocked. Shame , shame ,shame on people.
Yup! Long gone days! For sure! Sadly ☹️
Steve Betker Its not just Memphis,it's becoming every city.its a shame the thugs are taking over.people everywhere are scared to leave home.
People have no shame anymore about anything 😡
🔥Nothing worse than feeling of “false -sense security “ !!!☠️✌🏼
Sorry about that friend ☹️, we can't go anywhere these days without having to worry about getting robbed. Live your videos!
Thanks for sharing this Billy. My son has driven by Graceland and he was not impressed with the area. What a shame.
I parked next a car that the owner left their uncashed paycheck lying on the front seat in plain view!
Good advice!!! A shame you can't be safe.. always have to keep attention...
Great advice brother! I was almost mugged right in front of Graceland and I was with 2 other people. A car full of punks pulled up, got out and threw their hoods up. My 2 friends grabbed me and threw me in the car cause they saw them coming. I was taking pics of Graceland about 9 at night. Be safe friends!!
So sad that you'd have to warn people about theft,Even at Graceland...Sad
Unfortunately there is scumbags like that all over the world. Thank God they didn't take something of more importance or damaged your jeep. Thanks for tightening up and giving us the heads up.
You were spot on with a comment you made in an earlier video, in life there are givers and takers. In Memphis there seems to be a lot takers!
Bad luck Billy. I guess you just have to remember it could have been a lot worse. Least you still have your silver ghost and at the end of the day you are safe.
Always nice to see a bit of highway outside Graceland too.
Again !
First the cemetery and now there, Times must be tough in Memphis.
Sign of the times.
"Where is the bad part of Memphis?" Memphis. Very sketchy 'hood around Graceland and Memphis has a high crime rate. When you go to Graceland, you should park in the fenced parking lots. Yes it costs, but they have security that will not only drive through on patrol but they even helped me out with a jump!
I was there last week from TX. I enjoyed visiting almost all of your Memphis videos. Was shocking how bad Memphis is! Scotty Moore/Bill Black street Eldridge was especially bad. The Crown Electric empty lot appears to being developed now. Looking forward to seeing your up coming video inside the Mid South Coliseum. Stay safe and keep up the good work.
Yes Eldridge / Belz Street is very unsafe.. Don't even venture there..
Thank you so much for sharing this important information. I am sorry this happened to you but glad you are alright. I appreciate the advice. Stay safe and God Bless You😇😇
I have been robbed at gun point in Memphis 3 times. Two times in Midtown....once down town . Memphis could possibly be dumb ass. The spa guy is right about every thing he said.
Same way in Little Rock. Driving here is crazy, and do not leave anything out to be seen in your car. Always lock your car!
Ty for letting us know about the stealing . I’m gonna be goeing back to Graceland in July and I’m a little uneasy abount it. But I’m still gonna come xx
Thanks Billy
I agree, Billy, that they drive like maniacs in Memphis! I was there last in October, and I'd driven all the way from Niagara Falls, Canada, (and on to Tupelo later) and ELVIS PRESLEY BLVD was like ....YOU''RE TAKING YOUR LIFE AT RISK just driving there! I'm 75 and I've always been told that I"m a good driver, even by guys, so even after having driven MANY times to Graceland and beyond, I have to say that it's dangerous. I walked by myself two evenings down the Blvd from the Days Inn at Graceland, and I truly shouldn't have done it. I did NOT feel safe, but I had to go. There was a very scruffy individual, who was the only one around, and "attempted" a conversation with me, but I handled it okay even though I couldn't even make out most of what he was saying. He was obviously on something, so I just think that God was with me...I really shouldn't have been doing that, but when ELVIS CALLS...you go!
Scary, I wouldn't even go there.
You have to see this.. after 10 years searching, I finally found Elvis’s abandoned home deep in the mountains of Sedona that he had built next to the set of “Stay Away Joe”. I have photos on my IG. @jonnybravotv
Thanks for your videos.Stay safe.
It's really bad everywhere. I live in south Florida, when I get out of my truck to get gas I take the keys with me. Since living down by Fort Myers these people drive in their own world, I've never seen so many rollovers in my life, I came from Illinois.
THANKS SPY GUY 👍😌 LOVE MEMPHIS 😌
I wonder how it was in the 70's in Memphis when Elvis was living.
It was very nice safe middle class neighborhood..
Sad to hear your car was invaded twice but glad you are safe. I had a great time in Memphis when I went but I was highly observant of my surroundings and didn’t stay out past dark downtown unless with my friend (buddy system). Before dropping my rental car off at the airport I had to go to three gas stations near there to find one that had gas to fill my tank, it was a little unsettling.
Thank you for the visitor safety tips
Wise words pal👍
Sorry about you getting things and money stolen. It's terrible that we live in a world that thieves are everywhere. I remember watching your video when your Drone was stolen. That's terrible. My hubby has a Drone and they are expensive. My brother who is a great Christian guy and he drives a semi for USF Holland out of Holland, Michigan. They had a terminal in Memphis. It was so dangerous for years and now they closed it and moved it somewhere else. God bless.
Actually it was my camera that was stolen my drone was lost.. God Bless You!!
Sorry this happened..stay safe!! Keep on TCB.. Love n Hugs
Same thing happened to me. They knocked the lock cylinder out of my brand new truck and stole everything we had for a two week road trip. All of our clothes, laptops, bags, they took it all. Insurance said it was over 10k worth of stuff. Graceland staff saw it all and didnt do anything. I have a strong suspicion that they were in on it. Security knew exactly how it happened before we even told them and asked us not to call the police.
Sorry that happened Jason.. WOW!!
Weird, a year later as the Wall was spray painted with BLM someone commented that Security allowed that to happen too.
