Dallas: Hyatt Regency, Union Station August 2011

The hotel.  The tower with the sphere is where Wolfgang Puck's restaurant is.

My nice and comfortable room.






The grand atrium!The view from my room.

The Old Red Museum

Dealy plaza. 
George Bannerman Dealey (1859–1946) was a Dallas, Texas, businessman.
Dealey was the long-time publisher of The Dallas Morning News. He used his influence to accomplish many goals but will always be remembered primarily for one of them. He crusaded for the redevelopment of a particularly blighted area near downtown Dallas. When the redevelopment, involving a large square located at the intersection of three major avenues, was completed, it was named Dealey Plaza in his honor. This site became known worldwide when, on November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated while his motorcade drove through Dealey Plaza.

 

Something for every day of the year!

My hotel in the background.  This is the exact location where JFK was assassinated.

The white 'X' in the road marks the exact location.



DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit)

Saw this old Dallas High School while on the train to the mall.  Sad that it is all boarded up.

My hotel.
