For lots of reasons, millions of people visit Dallas annually, and there are numerous
things to see and do when visitors arrive. The Music Hall at Fair Park stages live theater

touring companies. Sports fans can enjoy the Dallas Mavericks and the Dallas Stars at
the American Airlines Center. The Dallas Cowboys, for the time being, are still at Texas
Stadium in Irving. Music lovers have the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center--home
stage for the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, the Turtle Creek Chorale, the Dallas Wind
Symphony, as well as band and choral festivals. Deep Ellum offers bars and
nightclubs, restaurants, retail stores and tattoo shops. The West End Marketplace, a
1911 warehouse, is now a shopping and entertainment center, with several popular
restaurants where business people meet for lunch and tourists gather at dinnertime.
Dealy Plaza, the area President Kennedy's motorcade was passing when he was
killed, is visited by multitudes of people each year. The Sixth Floor Museum, located in
the old Texas Schoolbook Depository where President Kennedy's assassin fired from a
sixth floor window, now houses a multimedia museum dedicated to his life and death.
