Wreck Nuts || November 22, 2006

From the Pre-Thanksgiving Sad Rumors dept:We just heard word from a friend who works at an office behind the Wreck Room in Fort Worth, and the word being handed down is that the Wreck (and neighboring establishments like the Torch) will be torn down next spring, possibly as early as March. In the e-mail:

"They are making an urban village...what does the [sic] mean?!"

Not entirely sure; we thought there was a shop called Urban Village, but perhaps we're misrembering the name of that shop at the corner of 75 and Henderson in Dallas. If not an upscale shop, then, we're not entirely sure what that means, either, but it sure doesn't sound like a music venue that's been sitting in Fort Worth for nearly a decade (it turns 10 in 2007...or maybe not). We'll follow this rumor with more concrete info when our girlfriends aren't dragging us to Whole Foods to restock the Dd office vegetable supply. -SM

Update: This looks like the Urban Village in question. Kinda fancy, certainly fits with the "more sensible than Dallas on all accounts" reputation and seems to make room for live music, too, so who knows, but it's never exactly good news for a venue owner.
