The lobby of the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas would have me believe that Dallas was frequented by 20th-century aristocrats. To bring home this message, there is a framed letter from the dead queen of England, and an old-timey shoe shine stand that you can sit atop to prove that you are a man. This is just in case the colonial decor and staff who dress and speak like they are in a Wes Anderson movie was insufficient. These days the aristocrats have been replaced by flocks of men in polyester golf polos, the sonic environment filled by the crick crick of polyester stretching and contracting while they walk. The women's attires are more in touch with the colonial spirit or perhaps they'd rather be at the Kentucky derby but settled for The Adolphus hotel. This lobby is Dallas in a microcosm.
