Yesterday was Fall but it is still Summer for today.

Some of the tall buildings in downtown Dallas, Texas. The Dallas Temple. The buildings and grounds are just gorgeous.
New Dallas Cowboys stadium.The Stadium design incorporates two open end zones with glass retractable doors measuring 120 ft. high and 180 ft. wide, making them the tallest glass retractable doors in the world. It takes 18 minutes for the doors to open. There is 420,000 sq. ft. of entertainment space or approximately 10 acres. The field is actually 50 ft. below ground level, so fans entering on the plaza level will have a panoramic view over the field. There are 200 Suites in eight different locations on five separate levels.

This is the Dealey Plaza. The X on the street is where the shots were fired that assassinated JF Kennedy when his motorcade was going down this street.


The Sixth Floor Museum at the Dealey Plaza is located on the sixth and seventh floors of an early 20th Century warehouse known in 1963 as the Texas School Book Depository. It was constructed in 1901. On Friday, November 22nd, 1963 at 12:30 pm (Central time) from this building, Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States.



This is the Old Red Courthouse built in 1892. Now it is the Old Red Museum of Dallas County History and Culture. It has been beautifully restored. Debbie and I spent a long time in there because there was so much to see. It is so wonderful to see these old buildings restored. The Plaza with the old buildings were all real close together. We didn't go into any of the new buildings but they are close by as you can see from the top picture.
