Dallas and JFK

Doesn't look like much more than what you have...

This is from Claude AI:

Here are some key JFK-related tourist spots in Dallas:

Dealey Plaza - The site where President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963. You can see the grassy knoll, the Texas School Book Depository building, and the "X" marks on the street indicating where the shots struck the motorcade.

The Sixth Floor Museum - Located in the former Texas School Book Depository building, this museum chronicles Kennedy's life, assassination, and legacy. It includes the sniper's perch window from which Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly fired.

JFK Memorial Plaza - A modern memorial designed by architect Philip Johnson, located a few blocks from Dealey Plaza. It's an open-air structure with a simple marker honoring Kennedy.

Parkland Memorial Hospital - While not a formal tourist attraction, this is the hospital where JFK was pronounced dead. It's still an active hospital.

The John F. Kennedy Memorial Cemetery Trail - Located at Pioneer Plaza Cemetery, though note that JFK is actually buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.

Conspiracy Museum (formerly JFK Assassination Museum) - If still operating, this offers alternative theories about the assassination.

Most visitors start at Dealey Plaza and the Sixth Floor Museum, which provides the most comprehensive experience. The area is walkable and you can easily spend a few hours exploring the historic sites.

You could go over to the Texas Theater where they found Lee Harvey hiding. It's still a working theater showing independent films, live music and a cool little bar in the lobby. There isn't any acknowledgement of Lee Harvey since I guess they don't want to celebrate that but its a cool old building. If you go I can try to tell you the secret passage to get up in the balcony area. Nearby the theater is Lee Harvey's house he was living in at the time at 1026 N. Beckley Avenue.Though I'm not sure what condition its in. Also close to there is where Clyde Barrow is buried in Western Heights Cemetery
(1617 Fort Worth Ave). Bonnie is buried in north dallas.

And it still looks like a place a mob hit would go down, good pizza too.

LHO grave is in Fort Worth.

(no message)

The museum in the Book Depository is an outstanding historical museum, but we went on the weekend and it was crowded.

BBQ alternative

Angry Dog in the same area is good if you don’t want BBQ.

Thanks everyone for the ideas. We’re only going to have one full day (Sunday) to explore. I’m thinking of visiting 214 W. Neely Street in addition to Dealy, where the famous Oswald “backyard photo” was taken. I read that they filmed that scene for 11-22-63 on site there, and recreated the fence and steps as it looked in the Oswald photo. It looks like you can walk down the little alleyway on the side and see it. You can probably take a photo standing in the same spot.
