• Elvis with his new bike in 1947

    From Bruce@21:1/5 to All on Fri May 16 21:00:43 2025
    n the summer of 1947, a woman walked into a drug store in Tupelo,
    Mississippi, to drop off film to be developed when she realized she had
    one exposure left.

    She noticed a young boy outside the drugstore and asked him to pose with
    his shiny new bicycle so that she could finish the roll and turn it in.
    He happily obliged and then went off on his merry way before she could
    thank him or catch his name.

    "What a handsome young boy," she told the clerk as she handed off the
    film.

    She developed the film and tucked the picture of the boy in a shoe box
    filled with papers and stored it in the attic. Decades later as she was cleaning out the attic, she stumbled upon the dusty old shoe box filled
    with papers and a random photo.

    "Oh, that young boy from way back when," she thought to herself.

    She stared at the picture. There was something about it. He looked so
    strangely familiar. She stood up and held it under a lamp. A chill ran
    down her spine as she suddenly dropped the picture.

    She realized the boy was Elvis Presley.
