点评:A historical place.
Dealey Plaza is a small park in the West End historical district in downtown Dallas, close to our Hyatt Regency. It was named after George Dealey (1859-1946), who was long time publisher of the Dallas Morning News, among many other ventures. The landmark news building at 508 Young Street is a short walk away.
It was known as the 'Birth Place of Dallas' since 1840s, and the 'Front Door of Dallas' since 1963.
However, it became very well known since late 1963, when president JFK was assassinated on the Elm Street, which is south of the Grassy Knoll. The shots were fired from the (red) Texas School Book Depository building (it has a museum), which is at the corner of Elm and N Houston St.
On November 22, JFK's motorcade was traveling 10-mile long route through Dallas's suburban and Main Street in downtown. They turned right on Houston Street at the Dealey Plaza, and then turn left to Elm Street, that leads to of the Stemmons Freeway to the ultimate Trade Mart, where JFK was going to give a speech.
On the Saturday morning we were there, the area is pretty quiet and tranquil, without large tourist groups. Passing by one woman who was preaching conspiracy theory that all Kennedys are dead, includes Caroline Kennedy: it's a double that we see. Gosh, this is way too extreme.

迪利广场是达拉斯市中心西区历史街区的一个小公园,靠近我们的凯悦酒店。它以乔治·迪利(1859-1946)的名字命名,他长期出版《达拉斯晨报》等多部作品。步行不远便可到达位于杨街508号的地标性新闻大楼。
自19世纪40年代以来,它就被称为“达拉斯的诞生地”,自1963年以来又被称为“达拉斯的前门”。
然而,直到1963年末,肯尼迪总统在格拉西诺尔以南的榆树街遇刺身亡后,它才变得举世闻名。枪声是从位于榆树街和北休斯顿街拐角处的(红色)德克萨斯州教科书仓库大楼(里面有一座博物馆)发射的。
11月22日,肯尼迪总统的车队正沿着10英里长的路线穿过达拉斯郊区和市中心的大街。他们在迪利广场右转进入休斯顿街,然后左转到榆树街,这条街通往斯特蒙斯高速公路,最终到达贸易市场,肯尼迪总统将在那里发表演讲。
我们周六早上到达那里,周围环境相当安静祥和,没有大型旅游团。路过一个女人,她正在宣扬所有肯尼迪家族成员都死了的阴谋论,其中还包括卡罗琳·肯尼迪:我们看到的竟然是替身。天哪,这太极端了。
