Too bad the yuppies took over and the sad part is most of them aren't from Dallas.

[@LAUptegrove]

My first exposure was in 1976......it was REAL back then, prior to the Yuppies took over.

Deep elum is all ghetto now

[@214dude2]

Ghetto? Lmaoooo I guess you haven’t been to Deep Ellum lately huh?

[@Aaa5-r9o]

214 Dude not in 5 months

[@214dude2]

Aaa Even then...I still wouldn’t call it ghetto. Ppl that actually live in the ghetto in Dallas would kill to live in Deep Ellum.

[@Aaa5-r9o]

214 Dude shit I live in the ghetto and I don’t want to live in deep ellum

Downtown was upscale but Deep Ellum originally started out as a Ghetto. The man did say at the end, “ Deep Ellum was a bit dangerous”
