Oswald's Grave...

 

 

Just got back from taking my dad to see the grave of Lee Harvey Oswald, which is only about 15 minutes drive from where I live.

 

I was surprised to see it covered in flowers - which, depending on who you think really shot JFK, is either a good thing or a bad thing!

 

Here's a few pictures.

 

Note the grave next to Oswald marked "Nick Beef."

 

There is an interesting story behind that which you can find online.

 

Just search on "Nick Beef Gravestone" and you will find it.

 

The interesting thing is that there is no-one buried there...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Cinema of Secrets

One of the many reasons I like living in the Dallas/Fort Worth area is that it's filled with history, strange secrets and deep intrigue. And far more than a few of those issues relate to the JFK assassination of 1963.

This looks like a couple of shots of me hanging out at an old theatre, right? Well, you're correct! But, this is no ordinary theatre. This is that theatre. You know, the one where Lee Harvey Oswald got arrested after killing (or not killing!) the president on that fateful day.

And in the almost half a century that has now gone by since the infamous murder took place, the place has really not changed at all.

I'll perhaps load a few more images of intrigue from the DFW area over the next few weeks...
