- I get grumpy once in a while. I do a little bike riding. It's the next best thing to skiing, but there's not a lot of that around NE Tarrant County.

How did Deep Ellum come by Deep Ellum?

"How did Deep Ellum come by Deep Ellum?"
It was "lower" Elm Street, the Swiss/German business district (Rudolh's Meat market being the last surviving Kraut business there today). The Heinies were very tolerant of Blacks, and catered to their business. African-Americans soon established their own businesses along lower Elm Street... hence "Deep" Elm (or "Ellum") Street.
hmmm...i thought is was from the way African-Americans were known to pronounce Elm St in the twenties and thirties...Ellum. the mispronunciation stuck. Paging John Singleton, there's a movie for you.
