airports — 2013 — The 21st Century Matriarch

Renovations to Dallas’ Love Field are still a work-in-progress but the traffic flow getting in and out of the airport is already improved from last December. When I arrived (and departed a week later) in June - I also noticed the artwork.

There is a large mural decorating the area near the security checkpoint.

And there is a “cloud” in the high ceiling of the central portion of the terminal - with birds and airplanes and balloons and butterflies…all kinds of things that fly - within its swirl.

There is a small gallery that displays copies of the airport art. When I went in to take a look, I found out most of it was installed in April.

All this celebration of the ‘new’ was before I headed down to the gate for my flight - in an area of the terminal that had not been renovated yet. I look forward to seeing the progress next time I travel to Dallas.

The items below were ‘the cream’ of the articles I read this past week. Click on the light green text to look at the article.
