A stained-glass window was highlighted with glass hurricanes and candles and filled with the bride’s chosen flowers. Li- sianthus, roses and green- ery embellished the Ger- man crystal unity candle, which belongs to the bride’s grandparents.

Elvis Presley Boulevard leads hundreds of thou- sands of visitors each year to Graceland, the late rock ’n’ roll icon’s Memphis mansion, and to the exhib- its across the street. Tour- ists exit off Interstate 55 and cruise through a mile’s worth of empty businesses, vacant lots, crooked utility poles, crumbling sidewalks, poor lighting and drab land- scaping. Fast-food joints and gas stations are the main op- tions for eating nearest to Graceland. Businesses such as used-car dealerships and auto-parts stores also are part of the mix. Lodging op- tions are not plentiful: The highest-quality chain hotels in the immediate area are an EconoLodge and a Days Inn. Susan Green and her hus- band David came from Jas- per, Ga., to visit Graceland last week, just days before the start of Elvis Week, an annual event during which throngs descend on Mem- phis to celebrate Presley’s life and career, capped by a candlelight vigil at Grace- land to remember his death on Aug. 16, 1977. “I wasn’t that impressed,” Green said of Presley Boule- vard. “I expected something more grand. I think it could use a little sprucing up.” To make the road more welcoming for tourists and more pleasant for residents of the working- and middle- class community of White- haven just past Graceland, the city has begun making a series of infrastructure improvements. Workers al- ready have widened and re- paved one main intersection and plan to do the same to several others. Officials say they believe the planned improvements to utilities, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, signs and lighting — plus new artwork at inter- sections and along the road — will impress tourists, lure new businesses, improve pedestrian and traffic safety, and better the quality of life in Whitehaven. The $43 million project began early this year and is expected to be complet- ed in 2016 or 2017, said Memphis City Councilman Harold Collins, the driving force behind the plan.

Sowhy is it some people deal with these stress situations better thanothers? The answer is complex and includes many factors fromgenetics to weather conditions, but an interesting study in TheJournal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics indicatesthat there is a relationship between chiropractic and the effect it canhave on dealing with stress situations in your life.
This study revealed that nearly one in three patients viewed their lives as moderately to severely stressful, and more than 50% felt that stress had a moderate to severe impact on their health problems. Additionally, 71% of the patients indicated that it would be helpful if their chiropractor offered advice to help them cope with these stressful situations.
Communicating with your chiropractor about dealing with stress isthe starting point, and you might be surprised to find that yourchiropractor is full of sound advice on ways to effectively deal withstress in your life. Most people know that improving nerve andspinal function has a dramatic impact on improving emotional,mental and physical function.
