The Evolution of Fry Street

This documentary short covers the early opinions concerning a Houston area developer's May '06 purchase of a block of property in Denton, Texas' Fry Street area. Though subjected in recent years to landlord and city neglect, Fry Street is still considered by many to be Denton, Texas' historical seat of culture.

Worked at the Army Surplus store after my daughter was born in 84. Worked for Nana when she opened and painted the Zebra. Drew up flyers for band like "Wonder Bread" and "The Bohemians" when thay played the Library. Left and came back and found the love of my life in the "Flying Tomato" . Worked for and bought "Fry St. Records' from Paul when he opened "Hairys"his new shop in Dallas. Had music playing on the street every other night. Even had the ghosts of Jim , Jimi, and Stevie play one nite.

I assure you Denton is not dead. The original Mr. Chopsticks may be gone, but Chai(?) already had another restaurant set up. Voyagers Dream and Recycled Books are still here along with the mini malls with their windows full of shiny weapons and odd novelty things. Denton's not dead even if Fry Street got knocked down. You're an idiot for saying Denton killed its soul because it isn't the City Council that is the soul of Denton. It's the nutjobs who go crazy for Brave Combo at Jazz Fest and the-
