June 04 - Finding Elvis In Tupelo

The Tupelo Convention and Visitors Bureau is in the process of designing new destination signs in various parts of the city. Most people easily find the hot spots, like the Mall at Barnes Crossing, Elvis Presley Birthplace and the Tupelo Automobile Museum. But it's those other attractions, like the Lyric Theatre or the Midtown Shopping District, visitors don't know much about.

The current welcome gateway signs haven't been updated in at least 15 years, and a lot of roads have changed, and a lot of those traffic patterns have changed in 15 years. It's just also time to update the look of those signs. The design isn't finished yet, but the city hopes to have the design complete by July and start installing signs by September.
