Deep Ellum is a corridor of fun, a place to let loose and grab a bite to eat before a show. I pass through there weekly when I go get groceries and it’s impossible not to look at the people lining the block, wondering what band is in town. Before I even moved down here I went to see shows here, like the Dandy Warhols, and was thankful that I got to see J. Roddy Waldron & the Business at trees before they broke up. It’s a continuous source of cultural expression and is a sorely needed voice in the metroplex.
