You step out of a cool, air-conditioned SUV into the open plaza where concrete and history collide: the low-profile Kennedy Memorial catches the light, and the city hums around Dealey Plaza. The guide unfolds the morning’s timeline and the motorcade route as you move from the glass-and-steel flash of the Arts District to the quieter, tree-lined streets of Highland Park.
