Today is the 41st anniversary of the JFK assassination, and I thought I’d post some photos from a trip I took last summer. I had an extended layover in Ft. Worth, and so I took a cab to Dealey Plaza, where the following photos were taken. (Sorry for the low quality; I only had my camera phone).
The one shown here is a picture of me standing next to the spot where the fatal headshot struck. Later, when leaving the plaza, the cab took me over this exact spot, which totally creeped me out.
One of the things that strikes one upon visiting Dealey Plaza is how small it is. Everything–the school book despository, the concrete pergola, the grassy knoll–is jammed right together in a very small space. When you see images of these on TV, it isn’t clear how close they are to each other, but I tried to show it in the pictures I took.

How did you stand there without getting run over? Isn’t it still a public highway?
It is.
I timed it right.
That IS pretty small. Thanks for the pictures.
By the way. When making a post the fill in section to put your name and email addres are not there which explains why you do not see the name of the poster.
Just to let you know 🙂

Well, at least you HAVE a camera phone! 😀

The boxes are not here for my poster name or homepage but I can still fill them in.
This is testing to see if they take.
Yes, it still works.
