    I actually highly recommend visiting the JKF Museum in Dallas (which is at the location he was shot). It was an interesting experience. It was cool to compare the pictures of the location with the present day. A lot of it is exactly the same except with thicker foliage.

      They even have the spot on the street marked with an X so you can see it as you drive over.

        Seriously I don’t know how the fbi missed that. Obviously the street painters were in on the hit.

        My favorite part is watching the people try to go have their picture standing on the X, not realizing that the second that light turns green, there are going to be 3 lanes of traffic barreling right towards them.

      And the two guys on the grassy knoll selling their conspiracy pamphlet were pretty entertaining too, NGL.

      That is a video knocking around online somewhere which is the stabilized footage of the assassination overlaid on top of modern imagery.

      My biggest takeaway from this is that there’s been basically no new builds in Dallas since that date.

      No, it’s the same. The foliage (trees) was cut right after the assassination, strangely enough
