I found this accidentally and it is amazing! Just follow the link and follow these easy steps and you will feel like you are in Memphis looking at Graceland. You can also see where the expansion plans will be just to the north (left) of the mansion in opened area and apartment complex to the north and the wooded area. The view is a bird's eye view and better than Google Earth even. You won't be sorry that you went to this link. I promise you.(y)

1) http://maps.live.com/?q=&mkt=en-us&FORM=LIVSOP

2)type in "Graceland, Memphis" in the address bar above the map where it says "Enter City Address or Landmark".

3)Go to the grid bar on the left and click aerial.

4)Zoom in all the way up to about 25-30 yards.

5)Scroll over the small box on the grid and select "Bird's Eye View".

6)Then select E (as in East) for a front porch view of Graceland. Or West for a back door view.

Enjoy!(y)

Thanks for this EP75. I'm just after looking it up and I found it fascinating. You can really see by this map that the expansion won't interfere with Graceland itself, but I didn't think it would anyway from what you said before.
Thanks for this link, it was very interesting.
And you are right, it is better than google earth.

You guys are all welcome. If you'll notice that when you change directions N, E, S and W it changes seasons. One is in summer and the other winter. How cool is that? And also if you will notice that the exterior at the Graceland Plaza is red in the winter (from last year) and blue this year.. Also they apparently have begun some of the changes. In the winter scan you will see something like a gas station roof or something to the left of the Automobile Museum, and in the summer scan it isn't there.

Did you also see the sizes of some of those homes behind Graceland? They aren't small. Some of them were almost as big as Graceland just not as much land. I wonder if Bob Sillerman is going to buy them up?
