C2H Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Last time i was in Dallas, i was able to visit Lower Greenville and the club scene was hopping. It reminded me of Main Street in Houston a little. Is there Anybody who's familiar with both enough to discuss how they compare? What improvements could be made on each Street?

MidtownCoog Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Houston could use a Blue Goose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Analog Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I would say there's no point in comparing them since they're completely different. Lower Greenville in Dallas is a couple miles long and runs through residential areas (M streets, etc, with way overpriced homes) and consists of 3 main sections. Houston main street is, well, downtown on Main street.Greenville Ave could use some repaving in places... maybe a couple more dance clubs and more live music instead of so many bars/restaurants. Parking is a pain but that doesn't stop anyone. Houston Main street could use more patrons throughout the day everyday (weekend mornings, etc)./shrugI don't see the point in comparing them.

Metro Matt Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Lower Greenville gets kinda crazy sometimes.Best comparison would probably be inner loop Westheimer/Montrose area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I love the M streets. I was too poor to buy one of those cool houses when I lived in Big D, but it does remind me of Westheimer/Montrose. Withought the gay scene, or at least when I was there mid to late 90s. That part of Big D always reminded me a bit of Houston in general. We'd always hit Zoobar and the Whiskey Place next door. I am sure those are long gone. But my fave was the Balcony Club in Lakewood. If I move back to Big D I am buying in Lakewood.Speaking of those cool houses, I understand they have done a good job of keeping the McMansion's at bay. Good stuff.

713 To 214 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 We'd always hit Zoobar and the Whiskey Place next door. I am sure those are long gone. But my fave was the Balcony Club in Lakewood.ZuBar and the Whisky Bar are still there. I think the Balcony Club is still at the top of the Lakewood theater, too. It's always been one of my favorites.

VelvetJ Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 R.I.P. Arcadia Totally! I only went once but I guess I went on a good night. What did they decide to do after the fire? Has it been totally razed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now there's a nursery (they may sell produce too) on the site. But if I'm not mistaken, a mixed-use development is planned there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
