    Where da JFKz got shot yo. Nice fountain and plaza, X marking the spot where he got shot and there is also a museum in the administrative building I believe. Check out history in Dallas!

    Growing up, all I heard about was the "grassy knoll". It is an area that will always be linked to the assassination of President John Kennedy and the conspiracy theories that are linked to the event. Fast forward to a few days ago, and I learned that it was just a hill, that was covered in grass. The area does have a historical marker and an informational placard though. The area has a wooden picket fence as it backdrop and would probably not be the best place for a picnic due to its steepness. The area is well maintained and looks great though. This a definitely not a destination stop, but should be visited as a part a tour of the John F. Kennedy assassination sites and/or Dealey Plaza.

    It's kinda weird that you can just drive down the street

    Walking through Deep Ellum in Dallas, I looked up and there he was--the Traveling Man. Towering…read moreabove the sidewalk, mid-stride, like he was making his way through the neighborhood just like the rest of us. His shiny metal body caught the sunlight, and there was something both futuristic and kind about the way he stood there--one foot forward, a smile on his face, and a little bird perched on his hand like they were old friends. It didn't feel like just a sculpture. It felt like a moment--like he was part of the city, watching over it, maybe even cheering it on. Kids were climbing on the smaller birds at his feet, couples taking selfies, a guy playing guitar on the corner nearby. All of it somehow felt right around him, like he belonged there and always had.

    This local folktale draws inspiration from art. An old…read morelocomotive was buried beneath an elm tree. One night a splash of gin spilled onto the roots, giving life to the locomotive. The locomotive transformed into a robot, rising from the ground where three birds stood. There are three different sculptures, which can be viewed as three different parts of the sculpture. 1.Awakening-displays traveling man head emerging from the ground, and it's surrounded by the 3 birds. 2.Waiting on the train-Traveling man is seating on the ground with a guitar, smiling. 3.Walking tall-38ft tall walking man with a bird on his wrist. He is walking to the Deep Ellum train station. Deep Ellum neighborhood developed around the railroad, so there is a deep connection between these two. Easy to stop by and take photo. Pretty cool.

    Open space - in downtown Dallas? Believe it…read more Dealey Plaza has a history going all the way back to the founding of this city. There are signs telling about the original trading post on this site. Because it was designated parkland at the beginning, it was not redeveloped as a skyscraper or a freeway, making it an open space in downtown Dallas. It's also one one of the most recognized parks in the country. Not because it's distinctive; it's not. But that day which continues to live in infamy . . . 22 November 1963 . . . President Kennedy was riding in a convertible with his wife, top down, while the crowds cheered . . . suddenly, a shot rang out . . . Dealey Plaza is the park behind the convertible in the Zapruder film. X marks the spot on Elm Street where the fatal bullet hit his skull. A solemn spot. The park is not all about Jack Kennedy, though. When I visited, there was a sign advertising movies in the park. So I'd have to think that Dealey Plaza has other community events too. The east end also has places to sit under mature trees, which is nice on sweltering summers in North Texas. Pretty sculpture. Again, not an unusual park. But it serves an important purpose in the area, has lots of museums nearby, and is itself historically significant.
