The Las Colinas Flower Clock
LoneStarOne (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: LoneStarOne.
"The clock measures 37 feet diagonally. The berm, constructed from 15,000 cubic yards of earthen materials is inclined at a 27-degree slope for legibility at both near and far distances. The shrubs and steel edging that outline each segment of the clock feature 525 Dwarf Yaupon Hollies, 140 Dwarf Burford Hollies and 608 feet of steel edging. Flowers planted beneath the colossal hands of the clock (the minute hand measures 12 feet from end to end) must be of a miniature variety, as must the greenery which comprises the inner star, since there are only 14 inches of clearance between the face and hands. The flowers are changed four times a year to provide a constant array of color."

Ruth Paine house
daggerwell (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: daggerwell.
This typical ranch style house was built in 1956 and played a part in the November 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The owner of the house, Ruth Paine, had befriended the Russian wife of Lee Harvey Oswald, Marina. Marina Oswald and her two young daughters were living in this house at the time of the assassination and Lee was a frequent visitor. He was allowed to store some of his things in the garage, including the rifle he used to kill the president. Lee Oswald spent the night before the assassination in this house, retrieved the rifle from the garage in the morning, then carried it, wrapped as 'curtain rods', about a half a block down the street for his ride to work at the Texas School Book Depository building in downtown Dallas.
