The Municipal Auditorium located on Elvis Presley Blvd. in Shreveport, La was the home of the Louisiana Hayride from 1948-1960. With KWKH 1130 being the flagship station for the Hayride, it was ground zero for history making musicians. World famous photographer Jack Barham was there to capture these up and coming stars, two of them being Elvis Presley and James Burton. Even though the famous line “Elvis has left the building” was first spoken at the Hirsch Memorial Coliseum across town, Twin Blends would like to say “Elvis is back in the building” at the Municipal! We’ve taken some old photos of Elvis (and the Hayride) and blended them with now pictures at the Municipal to “bring him back”. Special Thanks to the LSUS Archives and Special Collections for these photographs. Please share!
