The red neon pegasus of the Magnolia Bldg
I found this incredible graffiti'd tunnel north of the Dallas city centre in an area called Deep Ellum. Does anybody know what this symbol is from? It looks really familiar.
update: Thanks Christine!! The Magnolia Bldg! I drove all over downtown Sunday night trying in vain to get a shot of the Red Neon Pegasus. I didn't know why it was affiliated with Dallas, until now.

Interesting. It is Jack Nicolson in The Shining on the left, and Pegasus (?) on the right.
Welcome back to the other side. Catherine
The red Pegasus thing is some sort of Dallas symbol. It's like their emblem or something.
Thanks again for the digs!

It is a Pegasus. In Dallas, it is the historic sign that used to be the symbol for the Mobil Oil Company once Magnolia Oil. The Pegasus sign rotates above the Magnolia Building in Downtown Dallas. It seems that it was recently restored the Pegasus Project - a local non-profit org... (the internet is great and well, taught me something else about my city)...
Love your site. Thanks for sending the photos -too fun. I love your site and look forward to rummaging around a bit more. Will write an email to you tomorrow in response.
Wanted to pop in and say hello!

PS -- the husband says 'hello'.....
All work and no play makes Jack want to eat a steaming pile of pegasus poop? Oh sorry, that's an underwater pegasus -it's blowing bubbles.
It reminds me of the Zephyr gas station winged horse mascot.
