The Really: Dallas has kept the School Book Depository and turned it into a museum rather than just forget that fateful day.
As the eyewitnesses to the event die off, it will remain a source of information and a rememberance of November 22, 1963. Where were you?
I was once sitting in traffic in Dallas many years ago, not really aware of where I was, when I suddenly realized: this was Dealy Plaza. It was small. Very small. The pictures often make it look like a huge expanse but it is really a very contained almost postage stamp-sized place. I realized that all the millions of words spent wondering if Lee Harvey Oswald would have had enough skill to shoot the President from the School Book Depository were ridiculous. You could have hit him with a rock.
