Mike Tirico told a long, boring story about someone's tattoos. Included in that epic tale was the revelation that the Pegasus tattoo was based on a Pegasus on top of a bank. !?!

Pro tip: Next time, try asking any Dallas old-timer about the city's history, or even try Google. Pegasus, known locally as "The Flying Red Horse", has towered over the Magnolia Building (now the Magnolia Hotel) for almost 90 years, not some "bank". The current one is a replacement for the original, which was lost, then found, then refurbished and sits in front of the Omni Dallas Hotel.

GFB, this was the hotel where you stayed when you were in Dallas. My grandfather worked there for Magnolia Oil when the building opened in 1934.

Dad worked there as well.
Took the bus in Irving to downtown everyday

When I visited Dallas, I usually stayed at the Red Bird Inn in Duncanville. Not as fancy, but the sheets were clean and they had a pool which was a must in the summer.

Thanks..not remembering it right now. If not for my endless collection of photo albums, it would all just be a 30 year blur.
