I was only in Dallas once, on a business trip. Stumbled across
the Grassy Knoll by accident, on the way back to my hotel...
I didn't see much of the city, what I DID see, it looked pretty much
like most other cities, no better, no worse.
I found the natives pretty friendly, though...but I didn't have time to
mingle all that much...
If they don't want outsiders coming there to visit the site of the
assassination, then they shouldn't have put up the JFK memorial in the
middle of Dealy Plaza, replete with map pointing out the ex-Schoolbook
Depository, the Grassy Knoll, etc. That's the only way I actually
knew I was smack in the middle of the site....none of the area maps
provided by the hotel mentioned Dealy Plaza et al...I and my companion
were just strolling back from Texas Alley, and thought that the memorial
was just a memorial put up by the city to commemorate the event...if we
hadn't have read the text and seen the map in the memorial, we would have
gone on back to the hotel figuring it was just some memorial. We
would have never known we were at ground zero...

Actually, he could and did. He was in Dallas, along with Joan
Crawford, for the Pepsi-Cola convention that was being held there at the
same time. Nixon was working for the law firm that represented
Pepsi-Cola, and perhaps was on its BoD...
As supposedly so were LBJ and George Bush, Sr....
Joan Crawford afterwards always alluded to good friends that she knew
more about the Kennedy assassination than was general knowledge...but
apparently would say no more than that...
