One of our favorite displays is this parody of Edward Hoppers famous 1942 painting "Nighthawks". The real paining is displayed at The Art Institute of Chicago, many prints are displayed in bars, dorm rooms and auto shops around the world, and our take on this classic is GIANT and right here in the Corridor!
