"Celina, Ohio- People with 'Suspicious Minds' want to know: Does the son of Elvis Presley live in Ohio?
Absolutely, says Elvis Presley Jr., and he'll tell you all about it.
'Junior,' as he likes to be called, can be found at Dreamland, the Elvis Presley Museum and Dinner Show, on Celina Road (Ohio 703) near Grand Lake St. Marys.
The museum, attached to the 'Nifty 50s' diner, is open daily. On weekends, Junior performs Elvis' greatest hits and some songs of his own. The club opened the first week of July and has sold out shows ever since.
Junior looks the part: the face, the hair. But unlike the army of Elvis impersonators, he doesn't talk like Elvis. He sings like Elvis but refuses to wear a tacky jeweled jumpsuit.
At 45, he's outlived Elvis, who died at age 42 in 1977.
But is he really the son of The King?
'People either believe or they don't,' he said. 'It's my story, and I feel I have the proof, and the rest is up to them.'"
