The journey for Minc’s SUP renewal started yesterday.
Julie Campbell of Minc, and the new club manager, Tim Austin, went before the

This Saturday, Sergio Garcia has his first solo show (entitled Formal) at Kettle Art:
"The idea behind Formal is the idea of having a name. Whether it be label, whether it be hype, whether it be to identify something.
A lot of times people will do certain things for that name so it's t...

Mike @ Amsterdam:
"This Thursday we go before the City Planning Commission to get a specific use permit for our bar. I'm going to skip the full explanation and get to the point. We could use some support from neighbors on the block & residents of PD269. We would like to get a group of residents....

"We feel strongly that this type of business [tattoo studios] is inconsistent with the future of Deep Ellum....we're spending over fifty million dollars in the neighborhood...if the city approves SUP applications for undesirable uses, such as new tattoo parlors and dance clubs, the city is only perpetuating the negative perception of Deep Ellum....The Deep Ellum neighborhood is an untapped goldmine.....

Last week there was an article written by Jonanna Widner of the Dallas Observer where she draws comparisons between SoHo in New York and Deep Ellum.

As I mentioned in a bulletin previously, six establishments in Deep Ellum appeared before the Dallas City Plan Commission today. The Commission was to decide if the applicants would be fowarded to Dallas City Council to have their SUP (Specific Use Permit) reviewed.
Denial of an SUP by the City Plan Commission is certain death to a venue's ability to function as a bar or dance hall; approval is only bittersweet--for the final verdict, they are subjected to the whim of Dallas City Council. Recommendation by the Plan Commission in no way guarantees success before the Council....
