sad, and probably one of many small business that had character, which will be replaced by something homogeneous, robbing our culture for future generations.

I have a few nice memories in the Lizzard Lounge / 'The Church' back in the 90s. Too bad I missed experiencing a Fetish ball that sounds fun although there were always fetish minded people in there as my alcohol blurred memory recalls.

I remember attending a sold out show there jumping up and down on the second floor and I fucked up the digital projector and the whole concert at least for a few minutes... what I dumb ass I was.

Thank-You to each of you that have taken the time to reply.

A bit of additional information on the location.

The Swiss Avenue Historic District, in Old East Dallas, is a diverse neighborhood containing the finest collection of Early 20th Century residential architecture in the entire Southwest. Established in 1905 by real-estate developer, Robert Munger, it was designated in 1973 as the first historic district in the City of Dallas. It is an official Dallas Landmark District and, in 1974, the entire District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The boundaries of The Swiss Avenue Historic District include portions of some of the city's earliest streets:

Beacon Street • Bryan Street • Bryan Parkway
La Vista Drive • Live Oak Street • Swiss Avenue
