For many Chicagoans, the revival this week of the nearly 60-year-old tradition of Plumbers Union Local 130 dyeing the Chicago River green for St. Patrick’s Day a surprise event after it first was canceled by the city was a welcome sign that things are returning to normal.

Graceland on Thursday announced it will host three live virtual tours of the Elvis Presley estate, on Jan. 27, Feb. 25 and March 25.
The effort was developed as governmentally mandated and self-imposed restrictions on travel and tourist activity have greatly reduced attendance and revenue at Graceland, even as the mansion and its associated attractions have remained opened, within limits, throughout most of the coronavirus pandemic.
However, the virtual tour idea was on the Graceland drawing board even before the arrival of the novel coronavirus, reports the Memphis Commercial Appeal, which is part of the USA TODAY Network.
