Elvis was here, oder.. Elvis war hier

We've been hitting the little towns around Germany. I didn't want to spend all my time on the autobahn.

But driving through small town Europe is not the same as driving through small town America.

There is no World's Largest Ball of String to aim for. No poker-playing chickens; no makeshift museum with a potato chip in the likeness of Charles Bronson on display.

But I did find Elvis Presley's home in Europe during his military service--Bad Nauheim, which is where we are now. Everyone in town wants to say that they knew him, but only a few even ever got a glimpse. And no potato chip bearing his likeness.
