In a move to further bring
to light this great icon, the German town where Elvis Presley was stationed
while serving in the Army has immortalized the King by putting his likeness on
pedestrian traffic signals. Talk about odd.
The three crossing signals,
installed in Elvis Presley Square in Fiedberg, feature an image of Elvis
standing at a microphone for the red "Don't Walk" signal and the
silhouette of the performer doing his signature dance moves for the green
"Walk" signal.
Marion Gotz, a local
politician, said the signals received the approval of the local police
department and cost the city about $1,027.
Elvis was stationed in
Friedberg for a time when he served in the U.S. Army from 1958 until 1960.
