someone captioned a picture of one of the banners, later adding in a comment: “And then what happened.”

It turned out to be a pretty mind-blowing day in Dallas after all.

Lmao holy fuck that is amazingly, comically tasteless. Like sure, it was 60 years ago, but I’m also pretty sure that’s not an element of the city’s history that most current residents are terribly proud of.

It’s mind-blowing that they’d choose that for the actual article title.

Had a childhood friend visit DC once, he came back and told me he “saw the place Lincoln got JFKed”

Still laugh about that phrase.
