Derp Ellum TX

THE MOST OFFBEAT NEIGHBORHOOD IN TEXAS

With a rough and tumble past and a rich history that spans from Henry Ford’s Model T to Nirvana, Deep Ellum has always been a haven for visionaries, outcasts, miscreants and oddballs. One of the city’s first commercial districts to welcome African Americans and immigrants, Deep Ellum became a hotbed for early jazz and blues, with its pocked streets and narrow alleys dotted with domino parlors, seedy bars and secret clubs. Nightly, artists including Blind Lemon, Leadbelly and Lightnin’ Hopkins stomped and howled to growing crowds as their songs spilled from tiny stages out into the streets.

Today the bars, cafes, artist spaces and juke joints that defined Deep Ellum’s first heyday have resurfaced, making our home like nowhere else in Texas. Vibrant murals blend with industrial grit to form a dynamic neighborhood blending music venues and creative studios with restaurants, breweries and bars. Today’s Deep Ellum is a perfect evolution of the district’s original spirit— a vibe that artist Frank Campagna described as creative harmony with a dash of perfect mayhem”.

Psalm 80:3

Psalm 80 has a beautiful, reoccurring refrain which comes with slight variations in verses 3, 7 and 19. 

The one common thread in these refrains is the phrase “make your face to shine upon us.” 



You will immediately recall that this is drawn from that famous Aaronic prayer of blessing found in Numbers 6:24-26: “The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” The incarnation is that great knot which ties heaven and earth together. It is in Jesus Christ, the Incarnate One, that we truly and definitively see the “face of God” shining upon us.
