View of South Crawford St. in Oak Cliff, Dallas, TX - December, 2009. This is the site of Ballew's Texaco Service Station.
On November 22, 1963, Oswald shot Officer J.D. Tippit one block northeast of this site (behind the building on the left). Oswald then fled down E. Jefferson and walked behind the yellow building above, which at the time was known as Ballew's Texaco Service Station. Oswald removed the jacket he was wearing and hid it behind an automobile in the parking lot above. He then ran to the right, into an alleyway between Crawford and Tenth Streets, in the direction of the Texas Theater on W. Jefferson.
The yellow building is the very same structure that housed the Texaco station in November, 1963. It is now similarly the site of a mechanic shop.
Oswald’s Ghost – Site of the Infamous Backyard Photographs

Site of the damning backyard photographs that Marina Oswald took of her husband as he brandished the same rifle and handgun used to murder John Kennedy and J.D. Tippit, respectively.
The backyard and the house, located at 214 West Neely Street in Dallas, are virtually unchanged since the Oswalds lived there in 1963.

Lee Harvey Oswald’s View As He Fled From the Police on 11-22-63
CRGPIX has added a video to the pool:
Lee Harvey Oswald stepped into Hardy's Shoe Store at 213 W. Jefferson Ave. in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas after murdering Officer J.D. Tippit a few blocks away. Hardy's Shoe Store is now called Liz Bridal.
After ducking into the lobby of Hardy's to hide from police cars flying down Jefferson Ave., Oswald continued to walk hurriedly towards the Texas Theater. Hardy's Manager Johnny Brewer heard the police sirens as they flew by, and he noticed Oswald's suspicious movements as the latter stood facing the store. As Oswald continued quickly down Jefferson Avenue, Brewer followed him.
Brewer watched as Oswald ducked into the Texas Theater without paying for a ticket. This led Brewer and the theater ticket manager to call the police, who apprehended a gun-wielding Oswald inside the theater.
These views of West Jefferson Avenue in Oak Cliff and the surrounding infrastructure are virtually unchanged since November 22, 1963. This is what Oswald saw as he fled from the scene of his second murder that day.
