TCU breaks ground on campus expansion​

Story by Ben Sawyers

TCU broke ground on its latest campus expansion project that aims to turn portions of Berry Street into a walkable "urban village."

The Fort Worth university announced Tuesday that it had broken ground on two new apartment-style on-campus living options.

The two structures, located at 2900 W. Berry St. and 3024 Cockrell Ave., will be called Morado on Berry. Morado translates to purple, the school's main color, in Spanish.

If you look at this picture verbati, I suspect the businesses on University in the block that includes Dutch’s will be in the first floor of a much larger building

You know, I didn’t even think about that building. I hope that doesn’t mean they’re tearing down The Pub! That’s the only college bar left.

My boycott is finally working!

Based on this drawing, the strip stays, but the parking lots behind it will not, including what little parking the bookstore has. I guess they suppose people will use the "retail parking" in the new buildings.

Good. Although I still haven’t forgiven TCU for tearing down The Cellar for what ended up being 8 parking spots that rarely if ever were used.

You mean The Hi-Hat?

I still miss getting pitchers of beer for one dollar on Thursday nights at the Stables on the corner of University and Berry. I went into deep depression when they tore it down and put a gas station there.

Was there where the Shell station was and now a bank? Or the shoddy 7-11 next to Fuzzy’s?

Beneath the Cellar

How old was the Cellar? Because when I first went to it in the fall of 1999 (the semester at TCU when I was newly 21), I’m pretty sure it was still called the Hi-Hat. I had only been in Fort Worth for a few years prior to that first visit, and I have no…

It would be really cool if someone opened a bar in the new development where it was. Couldn’t be Cellar anymore (for obvious reasons), but could definitely go back to the Hi-Hat name!

bring back Merry Go Round burgers.

My grandparents lived two lots south of the Merry Go Round on Waits, and I spent the first 12 years of my life in a 900 square foot red brick house at 2717 Mission Street, only 3 blocks south of that at the dead end of Lubbock Street.

In the 50s, we could ride our bikes any where in the neighborhood and no one ever even thought about any “stranger danger” stuff. I would come home from school and finish my homework so I could go watch the Frogs practice football.

All my mother would say was, “Be home in time for supper.”

Ah, those were the days, but then again, we didn’t have air conditioning…

Go Frogs!

Interesting history of Berry street - its heyday and demise. Now TCU’s participation.
