Graceland Is Dressed For The Holidays! Once upon a time it wasn't Christmas in Memphis til Santa Claus paraded down Main Street past the reviewing stands at Court Square and Mr. Bingle and Miss Holly graced our TV sets every afternoon for 15 minutes. (If you don't know Mr. Bingle, google him and see what you get.) Well, it's Christmas now! The switch was flipped at the Graceland Lighting Ceremony Friday, November 21 by actor and Elvis fan, John Stamos, who

was joined by a host of patients from Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis. Santa, properly jumpsuited, arrived by limousine and with a police escort. Now the front lawn of Graceland Mansion is bedecked in Elvisbabyblue lights, with The King's traditional lifesize Nativity and, yes, Santa and his sleigh. And inside, you'll find Elvis' traditional red velvet drapes and Presley family Christmas treasures on display.

MATA Trolleys Return To

The Garage For Safety Updates! Lime-Green Hybrid Buses Roll In To Keep The Routes Running!

Service on all trolley rail lines has been temporarily suspended for renovations. But don't worry. Alternate service for the trolley lines is being provided through shuttles on MATA's new green hybrid electric buses. Trolley fares and hours of service remain the same - trolley passes will be accepted on bus shuttles. So you'll still be able to get from the Pinch District and the Memphis Cook Convention Center, run past Civic Center Plaza and Court Square, and go all the way to Peabody Place and Beale Street, the FedEx Forum, Nationals Civil Rights Museum and the South Main Historic Arts District. And you'll still be able to travel the Riverfront Loop, and take in the Tennessee Welcome Center, Mud Island and the Mississippi River Museum and the panoramic beauty of the 5-block long River Walk. As with the trolleys, the lime-green buses will be pulling into the station about every 10 to 15 minutes. On the Madison Avenue Line, frequency slows to about every 25 minutes after 6 p.m. and on Sundays. Check the map on the back of the magazine for station locations, schedules and fares. Or call 901-274-MATA (6282) or visit matatransit.com. December 1-15, 2014 • KEY 11
