Likewise, Dallas has a wide variety of Pegasus statues, created during the renovation of the historic Magnolia Building. At one point the tallest building in the city, the Magnolia had a giant red neon Pegasus sign on it's roof, put there by Mobil Gas (back when there was such a thing). Since it was the tallest building during the 50s and 60s, it could be seen for miles and even from airplanes, so it became the symbol of Dallas. When they restored the Magnolia in the early 00s, the statues were commissioned and auctioned off. They are still around the Arts District and several other parts of the city.
