This is the Grassy Knoll. Everyone who goes there says, "It looks alot bigger on TV". It really is a tiny little hill.
Here's the plaza, the Zig Zag off of Houston Street. The building on the left is the County Jail that JFK and the entourage passed in front of before turning left.
X marks the spot, where the first bullet was thought to have hit. I believe in the Triangular formation theory that there was three shooters, Oswald in the Book building, One in the Grassy Knoll, and another on the other side of the road, by the overpass.
A view of the X from the Grassy Knoll. Looks like a clear shot to me!
Even behind the fence of the Grassy Knoll someone HAD to have noticed something strange going on there.
View of the X and the Plaza from the top of the hill. Easy shot for anyone with a scope on a rifle.
We went to the JFK museum which is the famous Sixth Floor of the Book Building where Oswald took the shot. Admission was $13.50, a bit of a ripoff, but you only live once. (Bad joke, sorry!)
"He was such a nice man". I see MANY resemblances to Mr Barack Obama here: a Radical thinker, trying to bring about Change, facing a country on the verge of many new Frontiers, some pressure from Big Businesses, different Alliances, model Family and Family man, and not afraid to make a new History for a country he is proud to call his Own.
I even wrote in the Guestbook, "America, let's NOT let history repeat itself. Let's not let this tragedy happen again. Obama in 08 is a point of change. Let's not ever forget the story behind the story." We think the record books become public knowledge in sometime like 2038?? Great, my grandkids' grandkids will FINALLY know the answer to the JFK Conspiracy theory.
If you get to Dallas, you really should go. The Audiotour is included in the admission, and the video footage is pretty cool to watch too. It says clearly No Photography and No Video, so I definitely heeded the warning. Lawd knows I don't want to get banned for pics in the JFK museum, or worse, have to deal with Dallas's Finest as an Asian Canadian dude! I cherish my Passport and my ability to cross borders!! Hard not to get caught up in the JFK hype really.
Parting is such sweet sorrow. We left Dallas around noon on the Saturday.
Shout out to Geronimo at the Omni Trevis Restaurant, keep up the jokes mang!
The weather was fabulous, no snags through security, nor customs. The Canadian Gov't finally updated the Customs forms, which actually end up saving some paper (Go Green!). If you can't read English well, I feel sorry for you, because the new form is COMPLETELY confusing.
Air Canada still sucks crap at getting luggage out to the conveyor belts in a fast/efficient amount of time.
