Hungarian heritage here and I do like Elvis. Been to Graceland although that was more my late mother’s doing than mine. She loved his singing voice.
Hungarian heritage here also...
Thousands of Hungarian men who revolted were so brave and died for their cause.
I met a refugee who came here to the USA and eventually was a pastor.
We earlier wrote about the chance for Hungarian between 12 squares, deciding which was to be named after Elvis Presley. As all votes had arrived the winner was the square located on the Buda side of the Margaret Bridge. But, due to the fact that this location has strong connections to Poland they decided to let another place receive the name instead. Therefore the square that will be renamed after Elvis Presley is located where Ferenc Körút meets Üllői út, just in front of the Museum of Applied Arts. That means that most people coming to Budapest from the airport will meet this square on the way to town!
Very cool, Xp38! Thanks for the info!
