Michael Tate commented the other day on KERA 90.1 FM on the future of Deep Ellum.
When we say “Deep Ellum” we’re really talking about two different yet related things: there’s the Deep Ellum neighborhood, a physical part of Dallas; and then there’s a Deep Ellum spirit, an essence that transcended the streets and storefronts.
Tate predicts the area will evolve into a new McKinney or Uptown district in the future.
