It will be different tomorrow but I read somewhere that more people flock to Dallas each year to see Southfork (Miss Ellie/JR etc) than Dealey Plaza. Crazy old world.

I don't know about that...when I took my husband to Dallas, Southfork was empty but Dealey Plaza was full of tourists; it is really what people go to see. It's to be avoided on the 22nd of November, though; it's full of weird conspiracy theorists who actually comb the knoll, looking for shell casings or some such nonsense. There's a JFK "Limo Tour" in Dallas, too; it's a restored Lincoln convertible limo similar to the one JFK used that day; they follow the parade route as accurately as possible (it can't be followed exactly because the direction of Houston street is one-way in the wrong direction) and when they get to a certain spot on Elm street, the car comes to a complete stop, plays tape of gunfire and screaming, then speeds off. It's so TACKY.
