Glad we stopped. Please read the full story on RA. We knew what to expect. Paul was on his front porch waiting for visitors. He took us in the front door and locked it behind him. Would have been creepy if we didn't read the background story.
He likes to keep attention on him at all times and likes to "tap" your shoulder if his high pitched whistle didn't get you the first time. The house is now under "renovation" inside and out. There is a lot of chain link fence inside protecting his items. The house on the outside is now brown and blue and white.
Fascinating character and glad we met him.

If you are looking for an interesting place to stretch your legs for a few minutes, then Miniature Graceland is the stop for you. The buildings are in disrepair and many features are broken (gates to Graceland, lights, signs, etc.), but the spirit of the place is still there.
It was fun and we took lots of fun pictures.
