Great job, Texan#1!

Amazing the assassination draws so many people after 43 years.
I DO like the Neiman theme.
And is the 3-year-old Mondrian only "newish"?

How can any American go to Dallas and not visit Dealy Plaza. It is fascinating and full of history and mistery from that day in 1963.

Great pics.
