Hmmm... wow very interesting topic. I'd say I have mixed feelings on this one. On one hand I'd say that a "yuppie" type setting might bring out more traditional students to those types of hangouts. I don't believe that the people that hang out on Fry street generaly are hard-core mean greeners in any way shape or fashion. Denton is not Austin, the whole "Keep Austin wierd" campaign would not work with Denton. I think the mystique of Fry street is a bit overblown simply because I don't see the thousands of people walking around and visiting all those small shops and bars, etc.. like you would see in Austin. And I don't think that is just because Austin is bigger either. On the other hand I do like the old buildings and it might be a little sad to see them go because many of them do have a lot of character and charm. You might also lose a good portion of the liberal-arts folks at the university who would consider the area to have been "sold out" to profits and devoid of all interesting unique college atmoshpere. However if I had to vote, I would vote for corporate interests because I believe that the people that it would attract would be a more pro-athletics crowd overall. I don't think it would harm the area in fact I think it is a brilliant re-vitalization idea that will bring significantly more traffic and people into the area. Just my opinion though.
