I SAW ELVIS ON JEFFERSON …

IT WAS OCT. 12, 1956, AND ELVIS PRESLEY HAD PERFORMED THE PREVIOUS NIGHT AT THE COTTON BOWL. He was heading to a show in Waco and stopped to have his pants pressed on Jefferson Boulevard. While he waited, he did some shopping and ate a bowl of chili with crackers at the Midway Cafe. WBAP TV reporter Jim Murray dispatched a camera crew after Elvis had left the Boulevard. But their reaction story from his visit is priceless. See the footage and read the script at oakcliff.advocatemag.com.
