Independent Journalism in Dallas Needs You
We need to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
A good news/bad news day in the world of DFW venues. Bad news first: Over at the Star-Telegram music blog, Preston Jones is reporting that the Fort Worth Stockyards’ Longhorn Saloon, which opened up about a year and a half ago, is now set to close. Boo to that.
Meanwhile, another prominent Stockyards venue, Lola’s Stockyards, is set to change its name to The Basement Bar–to avoid confusion with the other Fort Worth’s Lola’s space Lola’s Sixth. Yay for that.
And, lastly, the good news (potentially): A drive down Elm Street today reveals that The Bone in Deep Ellum, which closed last summer, is back in business. According, at least, to a sign posted on the front door this morning. And, one assumes, to the Christmas tree lights adorning the venue’s rooftop patio–which were turned on before noon this morning? Sure were. No signs of life on the venue’s old MySpace page yet, though. We’ll let you know once we hear something a little more concrete on this front…
