Episode Synopsis

It's September twentieth, and on this day in 1949... the Presley family moved into public housing for the first time, settling into a two-bedroom, first-floor apartment at 185 Winchester Street in Memphis's Lauderdale Courts. The rent was thirty-five dollars a month. This modest apartment became a formative backdrop for Elvis’s teenage years, where he practiced guitar in stairwells, sang to neighbors, and began building the confidence and charisma that would soon launch him into stardom.
