Book Depository
The Book Depository is where Mr. Garrison attempts to assassinate TV hostess Kathie Lee Gifford in the Season One episode, "Weight Gain 4000".
Background
Mr. Garrison tries to kill Kathie Lee Gifford, over having lost to her at the National Talent Show finals when they were children. She visits the town to give a televised speech for the Save Our Fragile Planet news report. Mr. Garrison is now bitter of Kathie's success since he became a third grade public school teacher.
He buys a rifle from Jimbo's Guns and no one in town is suspicious of him, even if his plans are obvious. Mr. Garrison goes to the Book Depository, on the suggestion of Officer Barbrady, to get a better view from across the street for the presentation. Gifford arrives to the stage in a bullet-proof dome, to which Mr. Garrison quips, "Looks like I'm not the only one to think of killing Kathie Lee."
