Since then\, the map has been retained in the same location and is now a focal point for travelers as they enter security screening\, even though the wo rld has changed and many countries are now known by different names. \n   \n Tex Moton’s Dallas Mavericks Themed Parking Garage and Terminal   \n Dallas Love Field’s partnership with the Dallas Mavericks has resulted in Mavs-themed colors and graphics artfully painted in the terminal\, Garage C parking lot\, and The Li’l Love Lounge\, thanks to talented artist Tex Moton who uses graffiti and mural art creatively.  \n   \n According to B leakley\, “More and more\, commercial airports are including public art in their construction and renovation programs.
