| "THE CORNER TAP" in DALLAS |
| If you've immigrated either temporarily or permanently from the windy city of Chicago to the land where "Maverick Cowboy Stars" still ride horses to work and carry six shooters in their cars (no joke), you may be looking for a place that looks and feels even a tad more like home. Traveling up and down Greenville Ave. and having given up all hope, you pull up to the last tavern with your head hanging very low. As you walk in the door, something happens. Its the smell of Chicago hotdogs! You look up at the wall only to peered down on by Louie Armstong, Al Capone, Elliot Ness and Oprah Winfrey. You immediately realize that "There is a God" and "I have gone to Heaven." On a second take, you figure out that you're actually viewing the center of a huge oil mural that's painted "inside the corner of a wall" |

| Sitting on a direct flight from Paris or New York to Dallas, you may pick up the airline magazine and read about places you've got to experience while in the city. One of those noted establishments may be "Matts No Place" internationally known for its preparation of wild game. When you walk in the restaurant, you're in for another new experience too ... |
