Oct. 11, 2018, to award nearly $18 million to the then-proposed Sansom Bluff Apart ments, a $32 million project in northwest Fort Worth. Brayden also voted on Nov. 8, 2018, to award just over $16 million in tax credits and a $3,600,000 direct loan to the Sphinx at Sierra Vista Senior Villas, a $42 million development on the South Side.

appointed by Gov. Greg Abbott to the de partment’s seven-member board in 2017 and recently stepped down following the DMN’s reporting.Although state ethics laws require gov ernment officials to disclose potential con flicts of interest, Brayden never publicly acknowledged the fees that his firm earned from his votes on the board during the five years that he and other board members ap proved or rejected TDHCA funding for af fordable housing projects across the state.
A spokesperson for Norton Rose Ful bright told us in an email that the firm pro vides “bond counsel services” to groups that issue affordable housing bonds like Tarrant County’s housing finance corporation but did not comment on whether contracts with Norton Rose Fulbright came with the expec tation of favorable votes by Brayden. The law firm publicly said it believes Brayden never acted unethically while serving on the state housing board.
That’s about to change. The timing of nearly half a million dollars in payments from Tarrant County to a Dallas law firm without a really good explanation reeks of good ol’ boy dealings. Recently released government records and new reporting by the Dallas Morning News indicate that offi cials with the Tarrant County Housing Fi nance Corporation, which works to provide safe and affordable housing here, may have bought the influence of a board member at the Texas Department of Housing and Com munity Affairs (TDHCA) who voted to ap prove more than $30 million in public funds for two Tarrant County housing finance projects as recently as three years ago.
Tarrant County’s population grew near ly 17% between 2010 and 2020, based on U.S. Census data, to just over 2 million. Tara Pe rez, the director of Directions Home, a city program devoted to addressing local home lessness, recently told the Fort Worth Report that the city needs at least 24,000 affordable housing units to meet demands for the lower third of wage earners here.

Still, the timing of state funds being awarded to the two local projects after state board member Brayden voted to approve them raises questions about whether local taxpayer funds were misused to address a se rious affordable housing shortage.

At issue are two county invoices dat ed Nov. 29, 2018, and May 15, 2019, that show payments to Norton Rose Fulbright of $282,200 and $217,000 for “legal services” tied to the financing of the two construction projects. The firm’s influence at TDHCA until recently lay with Brayden, who was

A county spokesperson ignored our multiple requests for comment, which is a shame because local taxpayers deserve to know if their hard-earned dollars bought undue influence at a state department.
With rampant instances of malfeasance char acterizing business as usual at the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD), Tarrant County family courts, and pretty much every large county government group, affordable hous ing projects have admittedly avoided scruti ny by our magazine and many others.
Norton Rose Fulbright apparently knows to get paid for services rendered once tens of millions in funding has changed hands. Several months after the Sphinx was funded by the state, Norton Rose Fulbright invoiced Tarrant County’s housing finance corporation $217,000 for “delivering con struction costs” to the county which amount ed to roughly half the Sphinx’s building ex penses. The firm also invoiced Tarrant Coun ty’s housing finance corporation $282,200 a few months after helping the state partly fund the Sansom Bluff Apartments.

This story is part of City in Crisis, an ongo ing series of reports on unethical behavior and worse by local public leaders, featuring original reporting.
Whether the board member, Paul Brayden, actively swayed votes from fellow board members remains unclear, but the name and influence of the national Norton Rose Fulbright law firm for which Brayden works as an attorney appear to be enough to have earned the firm $2 million in legal fees from various sources over the past several years in Texas alone.
Following the money is difficult be cause Tarrant County does not disclose the names of contractors in ledgers of con struction costs. One ledger released by the county through open records requests lists “construction lender fees” ($460,537), “con struction lender counsel” ($172,500), “de veloper fee” ($1,045,442), and “soft costs” ($1,184,264), among others.
Neither the county nor the law firm would comment on whether there are any current or upcoming agreements between Tarrant County’s housing finance corpora tion and Norton Rose Fulbright, so we re quested copies of any new or recent contracts between the two entities. If any are found, we will update our readers accordingly. l

Paying a Dallas law firm may have bought influence for Tarrant County at a state agency that partly funded two Fort Worth public housing projects.
When the West 7th development idea “was born in the early 2000s, it was thought it would be a mixed-use neighborhood,” Fre er said. “The vision was for a walkable design with a high-quality mix of residential, office, retail, and entertainment. Over the years, with the variances and unforeseen consequences of zoning, we have large concentrations of single uses like large apartment blocks with little re tail, and we have a concentration of bars. It did not turn out as Neighborhoodplanned.”Alliance vice president Margaret DeMoss, who lives in a Montgomery Plaza loft, said her community began to take a dive around 2018, and the city’s revamping of streets in and around Crockett Row has done little to fix parking shortages and publicly in toxicated pedestrians who flood Crockett Row and nearby bars on weekday evenings.

Districts like the Foundry District, River East, and else where should consider zoning options care fully to ensure that developments maintain an even mix of residential, retail, office, and enter tainment. Freer said her group is working with city officials to prevent the overcrowding of bars in any Fort Worth entertainment district.
How Many Bars Are Too Many?
“The trash is ridiculous,” Arena contin ued. “We are paying our landscaping crews to clean up this mess. [West 7th bar customers] are coming to our neighborhood drunk. I used to be able to walk out the back gate and do it safely.”
West 7th homeowners say developmentunderregulatedremains a threat to livability in the bustling corridor.
bers are calling for a moratorium on approvals of additional bars along the streets to the north, east, and south of Crockett Row. Members are also calling for the city to develop an overlay that would regulate where future bars could open in the mixed-use corridor. The third pro posal is for the establishment of a task force of West 7th community stakeholders that would examine the extensive problems facing the West 7th corridor and make recommendations to Fort Worth City Council to resolve the is sues. The last proposal is to spotlight bars that are the main source of overserving alcohol and not being good stewards of the area.
When Robin Arena moved to the eastern edge of the West 7th corridor 11 years ago, she found a community that seemingly offered every thing she wanted within walking distance. Her Parkside So7 Urban Apartments townhome placed her within minutes of the retail stores and white tablecloth restaurants on Crockett Street. Arena said she always felt safe walking to and from her home, even late into the eve ning.A few years after her move into the mixeduse development is when Arena says her quali ty of life and that of her neighbors began taking a precipitous drop. The proliferation of bars along the streets just south of Crockett Row brought drunken revelers who would stumble into her residential neighborhood and make a ruckus at night. Illegally parked cars, an in crease in panhandling, and excessive litter have become constant problems as well.

“The city did not regulate these bars,” DeMoss said. “The bar owners would take a small warehouse and add patios and a second story. Some of those buildings accommodate thousands of patrons. Where are they going to park? The city continues to pour money into the neighborhood by policing us more instead of ad dressing the root cause, which is too many bars in too small a location. This is a zoning problem. By right, these bars are able to move in there.”

“It was a bright, shiny object,” to them, she said. “I don’t think there was an under standing of the underlying instruction needed or the attention that needed to be paid along the way.

Carroll’s school board is trying to make up for the recent loss of so many teachers, SPED and otherwise, by offering $2,000 signing bonuses. Since that amount is not even enough for one month’s rent in South lake, the district’s incentive was left echoing in many empty classrooms on the first day of school this year.
Quality SPED teachers aren’t the only ones in high demand. Carroll High School started out with only 60% of the teachers needed for the year. In a newsletter sent home the first week of school, the district asked parents to contact their schools if their children end up in a class “they don’t have the prerequisites for” or if they have “an open block” on their schedule, meaning a class period with nowhere to go.

The senior just seems to have better touch on his ball as an upperclassman. No one can ques tion the arm strength — he has zip to spare — but his passes before seemed so hot, Frog receivers were unable to pull them in, and, at least on Saturday, that issue seemed long in the past.

TCU stays afloat on gentle waves in a sea of losers.
The Frogs are off this week, an ill-timed break when none is needed. TCU’s next op ponent will be a homecoming of sorts for the King Frog as Sonny Dykes returns to Dallas facing a crowd that couldn’t be more hostile, save for someone developing a center for the homeless near campus. We’ll dive into SMU and the battle for the Iron Skillet next week after the Ponies face their first major-confer ence opponent in Maryland this weekend. For the time being, don’t forget to remind everyone you meet who the only undefeated power-five teams in the great state of Texas are: Tech and TCU. l
Ultimately, it was a great week to be playing a nobody, as seven teams in the Top 25 lost to lower or completely unranked
them. Let’s be honest, though. Matthew Mc Conaughey is a thousand times cooler than Sean Astin, alright, alright, alright.
Granted, this 59-17 crime scene (which covered a lofty 39.5-point spread) was against an FCS team that only recently moved up to even play at that lower level, but the practice of paying a lower division team to come and have their asses whipped is standard among the power five teams that — if they survive their conference slate — build a resume play ing whomever they’re required to. TCU, as a member of the Big 12, has always dominated their paid prey. At least the Texans took home a check for a tidy $550K on their drive back to Stephenville. Things could be worse. You could be in College Station, where Appala chian State flew back to North Carolina with $1.5 million as well as a win over the former ly 6th-ranked Aggies. This isn’t the first time the Mountaineers have left a name-brand op ponent lying bloody, bruised, and penniless in an alleyway. The plucky team from a place called Boone famously beat the Michigan Wolverines in the Big House at the beginning of the 2017 season when App State was the premier squad of the FCS. The Aggie loss is especially egregious coming from a team that was the highest ranked in Texas, netted the top recruiting class in the nation, and whose head coach, Jimbo Fisher, is the highest paid in a state where football is literally religion.
Defensively, TCU looked fine. The big three up front continued to be disruptive in the backfield, and the corners primarily de fended in single-man coverage with varying degrees of success. Concerningly, the defen sive backs showed a proclivity for getting boxed out against bigger receivers late in the game, but I expect coverages to become more complex as the season progresses and better opponents are faced. Overall, Joe Gillespie’s defense surrendered a field goal and two touchdowns, one of which was on a complete ly blown coverage, but his 3-3-5 alignment should evolve the longer he’s on staff.
Max Duggan and Derius Davis could be the matches to set Dykes’ air-raid offense on fire this season.
Through the super-sucky late-Mack Brown years and after, Patterson’s Frogs beat UT two-thirds of the time. Year in and out, the geniuses in sports media would in sist Patterson was going to leave TCU for the head job at UT. Speaking of, you gotta give it to Texas AD Chris Del Conte. Depending on how you spin it, he’s either the slyest dog or slimiest snake in all of this. The former TCU AD kept Patterson happy in purple for years when GP was on a lot of quality head coaching-search lists. And then, Del Conte dropped Fort Worth like first-period calculus for the 40 Acres of underwhelming football and gluten-free, lab-meat breakfast tacos with nut cheese on top.
— and job — should not bother us (much).

I was chuckling at the excessive hype and wondering how many touchdowns Bama would put up by halftime. Texas had recently renovated their scoreboard, and I figured they’d need another redo after all the points Bryce Young and company would hang on it. Then a weird thing happened. UT was moving the ball — well — and mak ing Nick Saban’s offensive bunch go three and out repeatedly.
After seeing all the puke-inducing im ages on Twitter of GP splattered in burnt orange next to recruits, Horned Frogs have cringed often over the last few months of this awkward transition.

Also, kind of like if your kid goes to college at your alma mater’s rival. Yeah, you attend the parents’ weekend game — and, yeah, you wear an overpriced Nike polo from the bookstore — but, damnit, you don’t have to like it. In this case, Gary lived in TCU’s house even longer than 18 years.
A couple of years go by, and he’s dragged his school and the Sooners out of the Big 12 to the SEC like a Navy SEAL op: planned for months in secret but made public only once the mission was complete. CDC didn’t bother telling his family friend, protégé, and TCU AD successor, Donati, what he was up
For TCU fans watching Gary Patterson-in fluenced Texas host Alabama last Saturday, the emotions were more complicated than Middle Eastern geopolitics.
to. A few years later, Del Conte ropes Pat terson into a coaching stint in the People’s Republic of Austin, and they damn near take down Alabama. You can say a lot of things about Del Conte, but “underachiever” isn’t one ofLikethem.anoffice lunch catering order, every TCU fan has a slightly different take on the series of events from Patterson’s midseason firing in 2021 to today. Some say he should have seen it coming. Some say he walked on purple water and Donati was wrong for fir ing him. Others insist he lost control of his program but never stopped being an absolute defensive genius — it was time to go, but he still had his mojo working. I showed up in Fort Worth as a freshman in 2007 and attri bute many a good time to ol’ GP.
College GameDay’s visit to Austin came and went Saturday morning with only the guest picker, UT alum Glen “Hangman” Powell, saying publicly and with a straight face that he believed the Horns would beat the No. 1 college team in the land.
50 Shades of Gary
If the Longhorns actually have a shot, I thought, this changes things. Despising Tex as is an integral part of being a Frog fan, but the Crimson Tide— the New York Yankees of college football — are even worse. Not to mention, Patterson with some of the best teams TCU ever fielded earned a shot at Sa ban once many moons ago. Oh, hell. Hook ’em, AsHorns!mymood shifted from burnt-orange pity to a “I got this T-shirt at the grocery story” bandwagon fandom, the UT defense continued to impress with twists, stunts, and blitzes. The commentators pointed out
Watching, I began to reflect more on the House that Gary Built in Fort Worth. Den nis Franchione put up the scaffolding in the late 1990s from which GP crafted the St. Pe ter’s Basilica of North Texas college football like Michelangelo.Afterthe2011 Rose Bowl victory, TCU fans just assumed Patterson would coach the Frogs longer than Bill Snyder stayed at Kansas State. TCU athletic director Jer emiah Donati once said, “Gary can coach here as long as he wants,” which must have made firing the guy midseason last year all the more dramatic. I figured Patterson would still be loafing around the Carter in the 2090s with a staff like Gandalf, doing his mad scientist defensive football wizard ry thing. At least he’s always got the bronze statue to fall back on.
the ever-animated and perma-sweaty Gary Patterson on the sideline and talked about his influence on the gameplan. Did they even mention Texas’ defensive coordinator? Do they have one? Does he have a name or just an empty office that Gary sits in now like an 800-pound silverback?
Were it not for his time at TCU, we wouldn’t have been left out of the last three rounds of conference realignment, because we never would have been in the conversa tion at all. The Campus Commons would likely still be a parking lot. Enrollment might be 40% lower, and TCU might have been lucky to survive the uncertainty of COVID at all. Last weekend’s Tarleton game could have been a marque conference game instead of the polite, forbeversation.FrogstelsagainsthisGaryfulandwith.confusing,lenniumforseasonTCUwinningwhippinghere’s-your-fat-check-for-your-troublesjust-down-the-road,buttthatitwas.That’sthedifferencefootballmakesandironicallywhyfelttheurgencytofirePattersonmid—thelosingseasonswerepilingup.ThethoughtofGMFPswappingpurpleburntorangewasunfathomablethismil—untilithappened.It’sweirdandbutthisiswhatwehavetodealWithUTonthewayoutoftheBig12unlikelytofaceTCUmorethanahandmoretimesthisdecade,I’mhappyfortokeepdialingupblitzesandretyingshoesaslongashedesires—especiallytheteamsthattheBCSandCFPcarkeptTCUfromfacingintheyearsthemorethanbelongedinthenattyconHornedFrogNationshouldjustgladGaryPattersoncoachedintheFortaslongashedid.

The Dak injury is a blow that the Cowboys’ season is unlikely to recover from, but in the context of this one game, it was far down on the list of reasons they lost. The offense, with or without Dak, is in absolute sham bles. In the three and a half quarters Prescott did play, he was absolutely dreadful. His stat line reads a cringeworthy 14 of 29 for 134 yards and a pick. He was constantly over-throwing or throwing behind receivers. The one pick could have easily been three or four if the Bucs’ defenders had better hands. The performance was one of the worst of his career. Somehow Cooper Rush was worse in relief.The offensive line, already dangerously thin with the departure of La’el Collins and the (predictable) loss of Tyron Smith to in jury just before the season began, lost new starting left guard Connor McGovern on the first drive of the game. In the process, his backup, second-year lineman Matt Farniok seeing his first NFL action, allowed two sacks, nine pressures, and four QB hits on the night. The injury to Dak came up the middle right past Farniok.
Dallas wasted a gutsy defen sive effort — holding one of the league’s top scoring offenses from a year ago to under 20 — by countering it with an embarrassingly inefficient offense that managed just a lone field goal on their first drive, then bupkis for the rest of the night. Don’t get me wrong.
through free agency and the draft, from OTAs and training camp, to enduring the unwatchable preseason games — once we get actual, meaningful football, the tension and excitement have built to the point of nu clear reactor-meltdown level.
The NFL offseason is long. Even with the league’s year-round grip on sports media attention — in which now even the draft is a primetime network TV affair — actual games are jammed into little over a fourmonth span. Nearly the entire insufferable 182-game MLB regular season (including spring training) takes place between the clock reading zero at the previous Super Bowl and the opening kick of Week 1. After all the time spent over the last eight months microdosing Dallas Cowboys content —
Looks like we won’t be seeing Dak again until well after Election Day.

tilt. The receivers behind Lamb fared little better, with heretofore blocking-only wide out Noah Brown leading all pass catchers with five for 68. Rookie third rounder Jalen Tolbert wasn’t any help because he couldn’t even make the game day roster, being beaten out by undrafted free agent Dennis Hous ton.

The Jones family hubris has struck again. When asked in an interview recently why they didn’t do more to bolster the of fense in the offseason, Jerry Jones himself said, “I have to believe one and one makes three,” meaning his eternal optimism will carry the day. Well, he may believe it, but as Mr. Incredible said in Incredibles 2, “Math is math,” and no amount of assurance that you’re the smartest guy in the room will change the numbers. Jerruh also famous ly said, “Did you enjoy those three Super Bowls? I hope you did. I hope you did very much.” And I hope you did, too, because they’re the last you’ll ever see in this town as long as the Joneses are running the show. And they always will. l
season, folks. It would be completely heart breaking if it weren’t also so incredibly pre dictable. Literally anyone with a passing un derstanding could see the potential dangers the Joneses were lining up with their roster moves. The most frustrating thing is that the damage was wholly self-inflicted. The personnel decisions were conscious and un provoked by any external forces. The front office owns the outcomes.
Such a long buildup makes the pain of all that joyous anticipation evaporating al most instantaneously hurt all the more. And vanish instantaneously for Cowboys fans, it did. Not only did Dallas open the season on Sunday with a 19-3 loss to TB12 and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but quarterback Dak Prescott has likely thrown his last pass until after Election Day. Under siege by Tampa’s stout defensive front and working behind a patchwork O-line all night long, Prescott broke his throwing hand after smashing it into the forearm of a rushing Shaq Barrett on the follow-through of a pass in the fourth quarter. The injury required surgery, and No. 4 will reportedly be sidelined for six to eight

IfOof.only there were something that could have been done to avoid all this offensive in eptitude.Alas, the financially destitute Jones family had to make some tough business decisions in the offseason, which you could say led directly to this inevitable and tragic outcome. Sadly, they had no choice but to cripple 2021’s top offense by flipping their No. 1 wide receiver (Amari Cooper) for a ball bag and a roll of athletic tape and to put a former All-Pro right tackle (Collins) on the street because … reasons. Jerry and son Stephen absolutely had their hands tied by a challenging salary cap situation, you un derstand. They needed Cooper’s money to keep Michael Gallup, a fairly unproven and injury-prone wideout who might actually be able to play at some point in October. They needed Collins’ money to, well, sit in a pile with the rest of the unused $29M the team had left in cap space. It simply couldn’t be helped. You wouldn’t understand, not hav ing the football genius that — along with a stilted, inexplicably redneck vocal cadence — only all Joneses possess.
Dak is a good quarterback, not a great one, but a good one. He needs help. With out decent targets to throw to, he gets pan icky and inaccurate, especially when he has limited time to throw because defenders are constantly in his face due to bad offensive line play. This offense was set up for failure from the jump, not to mention bad O-lines get quarterbacks hurt.

The newest wine bar on South Main Street played its part in that liver lashing, namely where it all began. As the burgeon ing district bustled all around, Soma’s front door on the corner of East Daggett hung wide open, beckoning us inside for happy hour.
Truer words have never been spoken, er, sung. However, I would amend Cyndi Lauper’s iconic lyrics to “Girls know how to have fun.” Well, the wild bunch who gath ered at Soma Winery with me one toasty af ternoon undoubtedly do.
I could have easily stuck to one side — Team Dry Red all day, baby! — but it’s al ways good to try new things, no? To be fair, I’ve dabbled in a dry white or two, even a sweet moscato on occasion, so I circled Fat Bastard Chardonnay on my flight card.

Still do.” In March, 1949 launched a new menu with burgers starting at $6.50 which can be seen at Facebook.com/Bur gerBar49. While burgers and fries, chips, or onion rings are typical Americana food items, this joint does it so well that it made the Texas Bucket List.
and The Garden of Eating (205 S Main St, 817-774-2078) are right across the parking lot from each other and will both partici pate in Taste of Downtown Cleburne this year. All the food is made from scratch. The Garden is a full-service lunch spot, featur ing salads, hot sandwiches, soups, and qui noa bowls, while its offshoot, Chica Blanca, is an order-at-the-counter-style cafe with a Mexi-Cali flair.
2.) Don’t miss your chance to sample food by Chef Cheyenne — Cheyenne Spivey, formerly of Spiral Diner in Fort Worth. The Cleburne na tive has made her way back home and is now a personal chef specializing in board/graze tables, charcuterie boxes, party bites, and chef-crafted cocktail mixers.

Jimmie’s Fresh Kitchen (114 E Cham bers St, 682-317-1208) is a chef-owned restaurant with an eclectic menu that in cludes traditional American steakhouse items and Cajun/Creole dishes. See the main menu at Facebook.com/JimmiesCleburne/ Menu, but keep an eye on his main feed for glorious daily specials like the meatloaf sandwich pictured in this column. Yum!
7.) Now, for dogs of a different kind. Loaf’n Dog (208 E Chambers St, Ste E, 817-5561040) serves gourmet hotdogs, beer, and wine, does catering, hosts events, and has live music. The top-selling dogs are The Casey (Vienna Beef Frank with chili, nacho cheese, onions, and mustard) and the Flamin’ Woody (Vienna Beef Fire Dog Frank with the Casey fixins plus Flamin’ Hot Cheetos). Try the other top seller if you’re not in the mood for a weiner. The Chicago-Style Ital ian Beef Loaf is a split-loaf sandwich with Vienna Beef, grilled veggies, and “da sauce.”
4.) The newly constructed Gelati’s Ice Cream Parlor (204 S Main St, GelatisIce Cream.com) is not quite open for business but will serve samples next weekend. The place specializes in small-batch ice cream made fresh on-site. “Our premium ice cream is perfectly churned to maximize flavor and
density.” The menu will also include Ital ian ice, which is dairy-free, and mini Bundt cakes. For store-opening updates, follow
8.) Let’s not forget #DearOldMom. Mom’s Kitchen (114 E Chambers St, 682-317-1863) is a small-batch bakery where “the two most important ingredients are love and butter.” Not unlike our efforts here in Tarrant Coun ty, the Cleburne Times Review has an annual best-of edition called Best of the Best, and to give you an idea of Mom’s popularity among the locals, the place has been voted Best Desserts two years in a row by Times readers.
6.) Lindy’s Treats & Treasures (206 E Chambers St, 817-506-1290) is a locally owned bakery serving diner food, like sand wiches and soups, plus sweet and savory treats. As for the treasures, shop at the instore boutique for gifts, jewelry, and home decor. Lindy’s most recent addition is the “Lindy’s Treats fur Pets” line in its “Haute Dog Shoppe and Barkery.” Woof!

In the X-Men comic book series, the wheel chair-bound leader of the band of super-pow ered mutants, Professor Charles Xavier, uses a device called Cerebro to communicate with his team and potentially all mutants across the globe. Using his powers of telepathy, Professor X can go through Cerebro to connect direct ly into the minds of the heroes and read and implant thoughts. This powerful piece of tech became the inspiration behind philosophical rapper Sagemode Wrex’s latest album. Very loosely, as he “doesn’t make references to the X-Men lyrically,” he said, his goal was to “sound like I was talking to myself and every one else telepathically. [Professor X] is one of my favorite [comic book] characters.”

A major bummer befell the Fort Worth music scene on Friday when MASS an nounced that after five years of hosting mostly indie-rock bands, DJ nights, standup comedy, art shows, and even Pastor Jay Bakker, the Near Southside venue would shut its doors for good on Sep 23. Its own ers did not say why they’re closing, but since their club managed to weather the lockdown, their decision must have been heartbreaking.Tobehonest,

I’m kind of scrambled about what to say. There are staff who are now without a job. There are bands that are now without bookings. Dreamy Life Records, the label’s store that moved into the room that originally housed the pool ta ble, no longer has a home. And all of those things are disheartening enough, but on top of that, MASS’s closing is yet another dom ino of yesteryear, toppled from the force of whatever this city is turning into. Should I blame gentrification and the precipitous climb of market rent? Or is it something else?

It’s not for lack of effort. MASS was great. It offered fun shows, both from locals and touring acts. Designed by musicians to avoid the frustrations we typically face at most venues, it was an enjoyable place to play — there were more than enough power outlets to go around, for example — and when the room was packed, the energy between crowd and performer was unlike any other around. So, it sucks to see it go. But in the way that Lola’s move from 6th Street to Berry felt like the end of an era, so does MASS’s closure. Five years is a long time to do anything, and whatever it is that ends after such a time, when the proverbial lights go out and the padlocks go on, it just leaves you feeling empty and bereft for a lot of things that are no longer the way they were
