[edit] About
The area was originally developed as warehouses and shops in the 1920s. In the 1930s, a trolley stop along Davis became Dallas' busiest trolley stop. Starting in the 1980s and continuing through the 1990s and 2000s, renovations have taken place to transform the two city blocks into a walkable, urban environment, although the surrounding area has yet to undergo revitalization. The area around the Bishop Arts District remains full of run down buildings, dirty streets, and crime ridden street corners. Murals, brick pavers, and other street elements have polished the rough look of the warehouses and have made the area a popular leisure and dining destination.[1]
Neighbors and visitors enjoy an eclectic mix of restaurants including Hatties (American Bistro), Vera Cruz (Meso-American, Mayan, Aztec), Vitto's (Italian), Chan Thai (Thai), El Jordan (Mexican), Tillman's Roadhouse (American), Eno's (Italian), Spiral Diner & Bakery (Vegan), Jaci's (Mexican) (formerly Tlaque) and Cafe Madrid (Spanish Tapas).
[edit] Education
The Bishop Arts District is served by the Dallas Independent School District.
Residents of the Bishop Arts District are zoned to John H. Reagan Elementary School, W.E. Greiner Middle School, and W.H. Adamson High School.[2]
