Notice US 51 is named Elvis Presley Boulevard where it passes Graceland, while Danny Thomas Boulevard is close to St. Jude Hospital.

I grew up just outside of Memphis, in Southaven, named so because it was south of Whitehaven, named so because that's where all the white folk moved to when the (whisper now) black folk moved into the middle of town, and then when “they” moved to Whitehaven they had to build Southaven.

Boy, what a legacy… sigh…

There's already a street named for Elvis inside the city of Memphis. It's the street that runs past Graceland: Elvis Presley Blvd.

Danny Thomas Blvd. was named to honor Danny Thomas for founding St. Jude Children's Research Center in Memphis. St. Jude is an awesome non-profit hospital that provides medical care to children and funds to research cures for childhood diseases.
