DALLAS (AP) The 'X's that mark the spots on the street where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated 50 years ago are gone.
The markers' disappearance comes as Dallas prepares for Friday's events that will commemorate the anniversary. Kennedy's motorcade was passing through the Texas city when shots rangout on Nov. 22, 1963.
The street markings are not done by the city, and the city doesn't know who does it.
City spokesman Frank Librio says workers are laying asphalt to level out the street. He adds that "with thousands visiting the area this week, we think that is prudent."
