Denton community gives perspectives on “vanishing” Fry Street

by Arash Sahba of North Texas Daily

Arson, corporate ownership and city regulations contribute to what former Voyager's Dream owner Mike Sutton calls "the vanishing of Fry Street." Sutton said the grassy, fenced-off area bears little resemblance to the variety of businesses that inhabited the space two years ago. But many new students have no memory of the old Fry Street and some wish the vacant lot could be replaced with something useful, like a grocery store. "This is my community," said Tommy Simmons, a communications design senior. "And I would like something that would make my life easier."

I'm glad I was there to experience it in the 90's. Eddie Izzard is right when he said Americans tear down their history. Now what am I supposed to take the camera crew back to after I'm all rich and famous and someone wants to film the story of my life?

Fry Street, had to have not..... this kind of blow, such is the case with Deep Elm and greedy wannabe developers who want to control the community that was created many decades ago, by a more active good bred of folks, and this would also apply to Bishop Arts...A/T, ..It is great to have a new and restored place, but.... not a whole block owed by one JAY GOULD...
