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. Produced by Shanon Sparks, Nabutaka Takahashi, Tim Fuchtman for the Summer Documentary Workshop at the University of North Texas. Visit savefrystreet.com to find out how you can help.

Very Nice. So much of the Special Time & place is lost- there have to be more bits, videos pics stories, to mark what was there.

We won we lost we now have a square full of drinking too. I am not complaining. Because I am almost over the bulldozing all these years later.

Denton was my childhood. I loved going into Secondhand Rose, that place was like my church. When I got older I played in many bars in that area. It's also the home of the world's best bookshop; Recycled Books and Records on the square.
And Urban Grown-ups is the best album ever. "I'm not alive on Sunday! No one else is anyway!"
