Suspicious Vehicles and 11/22/63


Recommended Posts

Any stories of a plane landing in the Trinity River flood plain should be discounted.

Even if possible, such a happening would have been widely noticed and reported.

A half dozen bridges would make takeoffs and landings impossible.

Someone whom I would consider the SME made it clear - 'difficult, but not impossible.' And the description could fit in with the Airport at Route 77 - which had a long stretch of the construction underway for Route 35 - the Lou Foote airport - which was not paved at the time, but all sand. I provided this information to Robert Vinson - however, he is not well. and it was of no effect.

Robert - many thanks. I consider this thread a general dumping ground and sooner or later, something will eventually make sense. As someone I consider highly once told me - 'there are no coincidences in this business.'

I was perusing this old thread when this jumped out at me. As I write this, I'm sitting in a Von's grocery store in my hometown of La Jolla, California only about three blocks from 7818 Fay Avenue. Note the two mistakes in the address in CIA cable: Fay, not Faye. And Avenue, not Street. No wonder they couldn't find Andres V. Cortes. I don't suppose this could be another example of a barium meal? This coming week I'll visit the La Jolla History room at the La Jolla Library and see if I can find Andres V. Cortes at 7818 Fay Avenue in a 1962-1963 La Jolla "Bluebook" phone book. I'll even go back to 1954 or 1955 if I have to, seein' as how the Ford he registered in his name was a '55.

--Tommy

Results from old La Jolla Bluebook telephone books:

There was an Andres Cortes living at 7818 Fay Avenue, La Jolla, California in 1964-1965 and in 1966. No phone number given in the 1964-1965 book, just his address and name. His phone number appears in the 1966 book, but only in the "Householder's Directory" in the back; he's not even listed in the front "normal" part of of either of the Bluebooks I'm referring to (1964-1965, 1966). His phone number in 1966 was 454-5874.

--Tommy

PS-- The 1963 Bluebook says "Transient" for that address in the "Homeowner's Directory" part of the book.

"Hombre afuera" is Spanish for "man outside" (or "outside man"), so it's a phrase, not a name. ("inside man" = hombre adentro")

(color added by T. Graves)

FWIW:  Spanish for "man outside" is "hombre afuera", and "man inside" = hombre adentro."  

Edit:  "Unas visas" is incorrect Spanish.  The word "una / uno" means "one" and never 

has a plural "s" on the end.  Maybe the speaker said "algunas visas" which means "some visas," but I rather doubt it.

Small update on Jesse James Williams account - the kitchenette motel referred to in the 'mandolin playing incident' appears to fit in very nicely with the Grande court Tourist Lodge, 1401 N Zang Boulevard. From the Baker Hotel [gone] on Ackard and Commerce, the Grand Court would have indeed been a white kitchenette style motor lodge, on the right after crossing the Houston St Viaduct.

Vintage postcard: Grande Lodge Motel, 1401 N. Zang Blvd., Oak Cliff, Dallas, Texas

Torn down quite some time ago - could dovetail with this other account below - but wondering if anyone has ever seen this motel referenced anywhere?

Yesterday, November 23, 1963, I was standing on the terrace of the small park on Elm Street to watch the President's motorcade. The President's car had just come up in front of me when I heard a shot and saw the President slump down in the car and heard Mrs. Kennedy say, "Oh, no," then a second shot and then I hit the ground as I realized these were shots. Then all of the people started running up the terrace away from the President's car and I got up and started running also, not realizing what had happened. In just a few moments the President's car sped off and everyone was just running around towards the railroad tracks and I knew that they had somebody trapped up there. I imagine I stayed there 15 or 20 minutes and then went over on Houston Street to where I had my truck parked. I had just pulled away from the curb and was headed toward the Houston street viaduct [sic] when an automobile that had 3 men in it pulled away from the curb in a burst of speed, passing me on the right side, which was very dangerous at that point, then got in front of me, and it seemed then as an afterthought, slowed in a big hurry in front of me as though realizing they would be conspicuous in speeding. These three men were of slender build and seemed to be very excited in talking and motioning to each other. They went on across the Houston Street Viaduct and I turned off at Marsalis Street exit [sic] and they continued on going towards Zangs Blvd. They were in a 1961 or 1962 Chevrolet sedan, maroon in color. I [cross-out] don't believe I could identify these men, but I do believe I could identify the automobile if I saw it again.

Results from old La Jolla Bluebook telephone books:

There was an Andres Cortes living at 7818 Fay Avenue, La Jolla, California in 1964-1965 and in 1966. No phone number given in the 1964-1965 book, just his address and name in the "Householder's Directory" in the back. He's not listed in the front "normal" part of the 1966 Bluebook either. It's only in the "Homeowner's Directory" in 1966. It was 454-5874. 7818 Fay Avenue was "transient" in 1963, whatever that means. I noticed that the "Homeowner's Directory" part of the La Jolla Bluebook used the a different term, "vacant," to describe unoccupied houses...

PS --  "Hombre afuera" is Spanish for "man outside" (or "outside man"), so in the document it's a phrase, not a name. (FWIW, "inside man" = hombre adentro")

I'm bumping this thread again because I'm fascinated by the fact that a car registered to a man living in my home town was spotted near the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City the day after the assassination.  

It's interesting to note that about a year ago I found out from a La Jolla acquaintance of mine, via a FB post, that he was invited to attend an Alpha 66 meeting in La Jolla around 1963, which he says he did, but that he didn't understand what was discussed there because he didn't speak Spanish at the time ...

PS  To see where this "La Jolla" angle begins in this thread, see Robert Howard's June 26, 2010, post at the top of page 8, and my replies thereto.

Huh?

Where, pray tell?  Forty-three minutes ago and counting.

Shall I bump it again, now, Michael?  Or shall I wait the mandatory 24 hours before doing so, and give you another opportunity to "cover" it with a non-sequiteur one-sentence "post" at that time?

Regardless, "quoted" for what, Michael?  Are you compiling something like the Steele Dossier on Tommy Graves, except with the aim of proving that The Deep State really does exist?
