the Dallas City Council gave Clint Barlow the greenlight to replant Trees, the specific use permit process is beginning for yet another current Deep Ellum not-spot.
It was almost one year ago to the day that the Red Blood Club on Commerce Street shut down, claiming it was a victim of the controversial SUP policies and process put in place by the city council in December 2006. Which isn't stopping Roland Young from trying to open up a new joint in the same location that was also once home to Blue Cat Blues: Today, Young will make his case to the City Plan Commission for "a blues bar, lounge or tavern with live music Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays." The staff's recommending approval for a two-year permit, pending a further look at the plans -- which you can take a further look at right here, matter of fact. Check DC9 later today for results from today's meeting.
