Elvis: "A Day in the Life" March 3, 1962, (Saturday)
On this day, the next, and all through the following week, Elvis made trips to Lansky's (Lansky Brothers' Men's Shop) on Beale Street, where he had bought clothes since he was in high school. In a similar demonstration of unchanging loyalties, he frequently ate at Chenault's Drive-In or ordered take-out food from the modest restaurant that he has been patronizing for almost as long.
