Crews Demolish Arcadia Theater
The Arcadia Theater was nothing short of a landmark and a huge piece of heritage and identity of the Lower Greenville section of Dallas. In June the building caught fire sealing its doomed future. After opening as a vaudeville and movie theather in 1927, the Arcadia hosted acts ranging from Charlie Parker to the Cure to Metallica.
I personally saw some of my favorite memorable shows there... Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails opening for Peter Murphy just before the release of 'Down in it', the Ramones, and many more.
In my early 20s I lived about a block from the Arcadia and I know first hand that its absence will truly be felt by the neighborhood. I know I am not alone in feeling sick over its fate.
If you so desire, the Dallas Morning News has video of the demolishion.
