Everyone knows about the four selected places for plotting Kennedy's assassination, Tampa, Miami, Chicago where the tragedy met its final stage in Dallas, but, how many folks know, knew about, or heard of a plot in New York. Did anyone on this board know about that plot?

Although after the fact, it was rumored a JFK assassination attempt had been planned for 11/21/'63 in Houston, along the route from the airport in southeast Houston, to the downtown area and Rice Hotel. However, an actual attempt does not appear to be likely, other than an attempt to establish another potential patsy. Or, maybe the additional patsy establishment was the reason for the rumor. There was not a slow moving motorcade, nor a zig-zag issue in an easy to recognize dark blue Lincoln limousine. Actually, the nearby highway intersection was/is a blend, and not at all slow. So, a rumor is feasible, but an actual attempt seems quite unlikely. Unless the planned attempt was for a shot to be fired, and of course a miss.
