New York Times Travel: “Dallas Gets Its Groove Back”


Did you know Deep Ellum is where “urban pioneers have staked out a bling-free zone”? Really? Neither did I. Did aliens descend on the scruffy neighborhood while we were all asleep? And the NYTimes thinks the only thing groovy about Dallas is Deep Ellum? Huh.

This story in Sunday’s New York Times Travel section profiles the area east of downtown Dallas that was once “a rowdy club central” for punk but is now full of “fresh life…thanks to a new set of tracks: the city’s light rail Green Line.” Thanks, DART.

Author Ceil Miller Bouchet cites All Good Cafe, Tucker’s Blues, LaGrange, Trees and Black Swan Saloon as venues that are reinvigorating the neighborhood.
