So Bill, did you come home yet or are still lost around the streets of Oak Cliff walking behind cars that are placed 20 feet back from each intersection?

Ha  Nice 

I timed the walk...

South on Beckley to Fifth
East on Fifth to Lansing
South on Lansing to Tenth

It took me 14:55, no running or speed walking.
I was disappointed to learn that the time won't work.

However, Lansing is more like an alley than a street.  One could run or jog down Lansing without being noticed.
Lansing runs parallel to Marsalis but is much less busy.  Did Oswald take that route (with the library at Jefferson & Marsalis in mind) and jog a bit down Lansing?  Who knows.

This route is depending on LHO getting a bus near Marseilles to Mexico? But there is no evidence that LHO was familair with the bus routes down there.

Unless of course the bus Oswald took to arrive into Dallas from Laredo on Oct 3rd passed by the Marseilles stop and so Oswald had an idea that a bus to Mexico could be got from that area. Not sure though long haul buses to Laredo would be stopping at small bus stops like at Marseilles. That would be a stop more for a city bus I'd imagine.

Being a Marine, and always taking buses everywhere, I'd say there's at least a decent chance that Oswald knew where the VA hospital was and from there, he could catch a Greyhound to Laredo.

However, obviously nothing is for sure.

No, you've missed the point.

The Lansing bus, which he could catch at Jefferson & Marsalis, would take him down to the VA hospital.  From the VA hospital, he could catch a Greyhound to Laredo.  For what it's worth, the transfer he had on him would have been good for the Lansing line as long as he got to that bus stop for the "next available" Lansing bus, i.e. the transfer, issued around 1 PM, would be good for the Lansing line for the next time the Lansing bus arrived at that stop (which I believe was scheduled at 1:30, if I recall correctly).

The question is, was he aware of this.
