"X" at site of JFK Assassination — Attraction in Dallas

The thought of visiting the site of JFK’s assassination never occurred to me until i visited Dallas on a business trip. I went on a Ghost Tour on Halloween and we came across the banner showing we were in that area. So we made a special trip to go back and see what we could see. Thank you to Google for making it very easy to find. We found the ‘x’s where the shooting occurred, and the book repository was. The two were closer together than we all thought. There was an eary feeling to it all, like we had stepped back in time. It was dark, there was no traffic, and we were able to really take it all in.

In addition, I thought there should of been a statue of JFK there too or more of a memorial outside near the area. I did enjoy the quote from the speech he was supposed to give that day. The picture of the actual parade showing how it looked that day before the horrific event took place was nice to see. It shows how far we have come with security for the President since then. The open top convertible style parade was probably a nice event for the people to see the President. Unfortunately, this horrific event ruined anything like that for future...
