The Presley Family moves to Memphis

In September 1948, the Presley family moved to Memphis, Tennessee, allegedly because Vernon—in addition to needing work—had to escape the law for transporting bootleg liquor. They found a home first at 370 Washington Street and then 572 Poplar Avenue, a boarding house where they shared their bathroom with three other families.
