Dealey Plaza is famous for many things; both locally and nationally. Considered �the front door of Dallas;� the park rests on a bluff near the Trinity River; where Dallas�s founder; John Neely Bryan; identified a natural low-water crossing in 1841. This ford was the site of Bryan�s cabin and was also the site of the first ferry and bridge over the Trinity River. Home to several Dallas County buildings and other historic structures; Dealey is not just the birthplace of Dallas; it is also the site of Dallas�s first large-scale city planning solution; a traffic diverting triple underpass; and a beautiful downtown park built in the 1930s. The park was launched into national history when Pres. John F. Kennedy was assassinated here on November 22; 1963. Today; the site is visited by over two million annually. To preserve Dealey Plaza and its surrounding buildings; the federal government designated it a National Historic Landmark District in 1993.

Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. and must say this is one of the best books I have readBy Guillotine ZineAs the author/publisher of Guillotine Magazine I can testify to reviewing more than my share of books; records; etc.....and must say this is one of the best books I have read. It is witty; entertaining and informative. One of the things I particularly liked about Michael Bradleys book was that he had no reservations with "telling it like it is." I had the pleasure of seeing the Undertones at Irving Plaza for their Hypnotized tour in 1980 and later; when they reformed at the Knitting Factory -- they are a great band and this book truly does them justice.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
