I used to work mainstream contracts from a nice office in Deep Ellum (downtown section of Dallas,TX). There were a number of restaurants where you could order a meal, and they would grab what you needed from the liquor store as well. It was just the "morally casual women" they were hesitant to deliver on credit card orders.
Deep Ellum was an awesome place, and the
real heart of the Dallas scene from the 1920's through today.
In 1937, a columnist described Deep Ellum as:
"...[the] one spot in the city that needs no daylight saving time because there is no bedtime...[It is] the only place recorded on earth where business, religion, hoodooism, gambling and stealing goes on at the same time without friction...Last Saturday a prophet held the best audience in this 'Madison Square Garden' in announcing that Jesus Christ would come to Dallas in person in 1939. At the same time a pickpocket was lifting a week's wages from another guy's pocket, who stood with open mouth to hear the prophecy."
At the time, you could find gun and locksmith shops, clothing stores, the Cotton Club, tattoo studios, barber-shops, pawn shops, drugstores, tea rooms, loan offices, domino halls, pool halls, and walk-up hotels. On its sidewalks you could find pigeon droppers, reefer men, craps shooters, card sharps, and sellers of cocaine and marijuana. Sometime around World War I, Leadbelly and Blind Lemon Jefferson got together and began composing folk tunes, with Dallas often in the lyrics.
If you are EVER in Dallas, check the clubs and restaurants there.
