Experts told the Dallas City Council on Wednesday they don't know how long the Pegasus has, and that it could fall at any time, mostly due to strong winds and its age.Although its on top of the hotel, the sign is owned by the city.
The Magnolia Hotel likely will not incur any expenses for the restoration. The council did discuss the possibility of a partnership with the hotel, so that it may contribute to the sign's maintenance in the future.
