The West End and Dealy Plaza

Flat Spencer's final downtown destination was the West End.  The West End is home to many of Dallas' largest tourist attractions, including the Sixth Floor Museum, Founders Plaza, and Dealy Plaza.

Looking behind us from Founders Plaza.  The building in the background was covered with  a huge advertisement for the 2010 NBA All Star Game, which took place at the American Airlines Center.  The advertisement was being taken down while we were there (if you look very carefully, you can see a man on a window-washing platform removing it.)

Outside the Sixth Floor Museum, formerly the Texas School Book Depository Building.  This is the building from which Lee Harvey Oswald shot President John F. Kennedy.

The X on the road behind Flat Spencer marks the exact spot of President Kennedy's car  when he was shot.
