Don't think twice, it's alright

Elvis is alive, and selling appliances. Tucked around the corner from my friend's apartment is the coolest place to pick up a clean-machine, ice box, or love seat, decked out in an everything-Elvis theme. Squares of red lights line the storefront windows and statues and paintings of the king call in the curious.

An arbitrary appliance store, perhaps, but the kitsch-charm alone is worth the visit. The Big Boss Man is jovial and camera-shy, but seems to offer Beyond The Bend bargains--washers start at just $200.

And the theme is Catchin On Fast. Just up the block another Elvis sign hangs over a similar store. Like little-Graceland in the heart of Montreal, the strip invites you to Shake Rattle and Roll from one store to the next, hopefully finding out who's real and who's an impersonator.

Update: Turns out our owner-extraordinaire isn't so camera shy when it comes to video recordings. Click here to see the Indian-esque commercial for Ameublement Elvis.
