Established in 1945, Johnnie's Drive-In is a fixture of the Tupelo, MS community.

Elvis Presley used to frequent Johnnie's to have an RC Cola and a hamburger when he lived here as a kid. He would visit the location whenever he came through on tour, and the restaurant features an "Elvis Booth." Throughout Johnnie's are many pictures and other Elvis memorabilia.

In 1946, Elvis Presley's mother was at this hardware store with her son. To distract Elvis from the .22 rifles, she showed him the guitars. After Elvis began strumming one, she purchased him his first guitar at this location.

The pastor at their church taught him how to play, and Elvis with his guitar became a regular sight around town.

Set in the fictional town of Lake Winnipesaukee (there is a Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, but no town named after it), the majority of the 1991 comedy What About Bob? was shot in and around the town of Moneta, VA. The film was shot in VA since because the foliage had already turned colors when the film was ready to shoot (from August 27- November 21 1990). The actual lake is Smith Mountain Lake in Virigia, a 40-mile man-made lake created by damming the Roanoake River.

In the film, Bob Wiley (Bill Murray) is a multiphobic personality who unhealthily latches on to his cocky psychiatrist (Richard Dreyfuss), follows him to his summer home (this location), and ingratiates himself with his doctor's family. This home was used extensively for interiors and exteriors of the film.
