I understand that the river was later routed away from downtown, but prior to that, it ran at the bottom of the slope there, where the RR track is or just beyond where Stemmons (I-35E) runs today.
Dealey Plaza is 1) roughly the location of Bryan's settlement that became Dallas, 2) honors George Bannerman Dealey, and 3) the site of the Kennedy assassination. Sometimes I wonder if we downplay #1, which really ought to be important.
I know that we have Founders Plaza on the other side of the County Records Building where the replica of the Bryan cabin is located, but it seems to me we've played down the importance of the area as the foundational spot for the city.
