You have provided me a wealth of information. Plenty to do on my one full day there. One of my main interests is paperback books, but I’m sure I’ll be seeing a lot of sights there to keep me busy.
Thank you for your help.
Paperback books? There’s the main Half Price Books store at Nortwest Highway and Greenville (which cross but don’t intersect). I didn’t mention the Bush library but someone else did; I didn’t think it was worth the cost of admission. Red, Blue, or Orange line from downtown to the Mockingbird station; SMU shuttle from the rail station across the expressway to the campus. Not sure how close the drop off is to the Museum. There’s also supposed to be a nice art museum on campus. (Dallas Art Museum is on Ross in the northeast corner of downtown, and the Nasher sculpture garden is nearby if you are into modern art sculpture (I’m not)). Stockyards in Fort Worth has also been mentioned. Billy Bob’s honkytonk is near the Stockyards.
Reunion Tower (across the track from Union Station) next to the Hyatt has an observation deck.
Circling back to Kennedy - the building where Oswald was shot is the old municipal building - a couple of blocks east of Thanksgiving square on Pacific, and three blocks south on Harwood, between Main and Commerce. I think it’s now a law school. And the hotel diagonally across the street (The Indigo?) was the original Hilton Hotel. (Hilton had owned other hotel properties, but it was the first to bear his name).
What I remember about Dealey Plaza were the vendors outside selling books and info on the hundreds of JFK assassination theories.
