Dallas tour bus of Kennedy assassination: 'Big Things Happen Here'
One tour company in Dallas has a special bus that might just hook you in — or drive you away in shock.
The bus features a photo of President John F. Kennedy superimposed with the city of Dallas' major tourism slogan: "Big Things Happen Here."

The bus company's website prominently advertises this special tour on the Kennedy assassination. Such a tour could certainly be a worthy historical enterprise, if done properly — though their promo pages also have advertising elements that market themselves to the conspiracy theorists.
