As one door reopens in Deep Ellum, another quietly shuts: Three weeks ago,
Daddy Jack's Elm Street locationturned out the lights for good, ending a long run in the former home of the Buffalo Club (anyone? anyone?). The Web site's
dead; the phone's been disconnected. Which isn't to say the space will sit empty for long: Deep Ellum Foundation president Barry Annino tells Unfair Park this morning that over the last couple of weeks, "several" interested parties have been sniffing around the site, which should become a hot spot once
the Green Room re-opens in January.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
