JFK: Cabana Motor Hotel Dallas Texas 2011

The Beatles stayed here once for you JFK nuts. This is where LBJ and Richard Nixon had a Pepsi Cola convention and Jack Ruby demonstrated his famous "Twist Board" exercise device a few days before JFK was shot . It was a jail for sex offenders then became a home for Hurricane Katrina refugees(mostly blacks) in later years. It's on I35 near downtown Dallas also when the Beatles were interviewed here, this is where the news crew were asking what kind of girls the Beatles liked and George said he liked johns wife and Paul was wearing a cowboy hat etc. Very funny. They played at Memorial Auditorium(Dallas Convention Center when it was round). Other rumours are that Doris Day the actress owned it at one time or another, Oswald and Ruby made some kind of gun running deal for the Cubans there and Carlos Marcello and some other underworld figures stayed or were seen there at one time or another. Jimmy Hoffa Sr. the union leader had something to do with this chain of hotels also. Possibly union pension funds were invested in it. Jimmy Hoffa Sr. and Carlos Marcello knew each other by the way. They had the same lawyer.
