July 20-21, 2005 Dallas

This is the state of Texas welcome center.
Strange, hazy cloud formation.
The road into Dallas.
Approaching Market Center. I stayed at the Quality Inn, which I would not recommend. Texas, in the summer, with a broken A/C unit, is not recommended. Oh yeah, and there was a cosmetics convention and the motel stank of cheap perfume.
After I met Bubba Kadane at the ACME office on Parry Ave, I drove around the city taking a bunch of trippy pictures...
...Which is the excuse I continue to make up when I don't want to say, "My camera doesn't work properly at night."
Dallas lights up beautifully at night. I recall being the only car on the road as I navigated my way around Exposition and other surrounding roads, all the way back to Market Center.
It's enough to give you a headache, probably.
I think that's the last one.
Early the next morning I made my way down through the Deep Ellum area to Market and Elm, and the area where JFK traveled on November 23rd, 1963.
There are two X's in the road that mark where Kennedy was hit.
It's a very surreal and eerie place to hang out...
Especially when a panhandler offers to give you your own private tour of the grassy knoll. (Notice the red strip on the side of the road, which is parallel to an X obscured by that taxi)
Another photo from the knoll.
Overpass and the knoll.
The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza
Sixth floor window.
Remember that line in JFK when they talk about the live Texas Oak getting in the way of Oswald's shot? That's it.
The knoll.
A bit closer up.
From behind the picket fence.
Easy target.
Getaway?
Back in the car, on the road to Austin.
