people who spray paint the buildings and hang around outside favorite stores. Denton is still alive, even if it's changing.
This is nice to see. My heart has been breaking for fry street since I moved away last year.
Carl Finch for president!
Nice to be reminded of what Fry looked like when I grew up in Denton as a kid. The soul still lives today, but sure miss the Tomato.
Thank you for the documentary.
whoa it looked so different. Now sterling apartments are on the one area.

Do they have to be synonymous?
That's my Girl!!!
AHHHH!!!! Say it isn't so!!!
Word up Ave. C!
My home has been destroyed. Love a original Fry Rat.
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-

Damn, I started school at UNT last year and kept thinking, I wish there was more to do right by campus outside of Crooked Crust, Big Mike's and some shitty bro bars. Then I found out that Fry Street used to be cool. Don't get me wrong, love Big Mike's and Crooked Crust, just wish that I could see something other than a Dave Matthews cover band without going to the square.
now voyager's dream is gone, but it is replaced with a coffee shop owned by the same guy. free trade stuff sold there too.
its much cleaner now, all i ever see now is empty broken beer bottles some morning when im walking to school
many many many MANY nights spent sitting on the curb in front of the tomato or sleeping on a couch in the karma cafe back in 96-98ish. LOVED that area of town
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.
The Wonderbreads!
Fry street used to be fun
