Dealey Plaza in Dallas, TX, is known as the Front Door to Dallas, because it is a major gateway for people coming in from the west. It was named after civic leader, George Bannerman Dealey, who was key in creating the overall design of the plaza. Dealey organized the development of the triple underpass and concrete colonnades located in the plaza. However, Dealey Plaza is not often noted for its design elements; it will forever be known as the place that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
