Dallas

Dealey Plaza, site of JFK's assassination. The famous Grassy Knoll in the foreground and the former Texas School Book Depository behind.


Elm Street on the left. Kennedy's car was about where the black SUV in the middle lane is. Lee Harvey Oswald was at the rightmost sixth-floor window of the Book Depository (last floor but one of the building on the left).


Coldplay concert, AT&T Stadium. Great music and a fantastic show with illuminated wristbands and fireworks.
