This Saturday, April 24, the Lowest Greenville Collective is shining a light on the diverse restaurants, bars and businesses along their namesake street from Belmont Avenue to Ross Avenue. The fourth annual
Experience Lowest Greenvillewill offer a variety of food and drink specials, yoga, flowers, lots of mimosas and general hoopla, like super karaoke.
The Lowest Greenville Collective was created in 2014 for the 70-plus businesses in the area. With this event, they’re hoping to bring a little bustle to the area after a challenging 13 months.
One of the restaurants involved is a new kid on the block, the tiki bar Swizzle. It opened earlier this year when capacity restrictions were in place, a particularly challenging way to start a business. Since then, they’ve shaken their way into our bellies with rum drinks, a full mahalo experience and Dole Whip mimosas (pineapple soft serve and Champagne).

Famous Taco Cabana Tango frogs on Dallas Greenville Ave find new home They won t have to travel far.
Courtesy photo Dallas most famous frogs, which have been perched atop a Taco Cabana on Greenville Avenue, have a new home, and it s just a few blocks away. The so-called Tango Frogs will be relocated to the Truck Yard at 5624 Sears St., right off Greenville Avenue, where they will reside permanently. According to a release, the frogs will be prominently positioned atop the popular beer garden’s roof facing Sears St., welcoming visitors to the venue.
The frogs were designed by Texas-based artist Bob Daddy-O Wade who was known for his large sculptures in Texas and beyond. Wade also designed Izzy, the giant Iguana sculpture housed on a roof at the Fort Worth Zoo.
Wade, who died a year ago at age 76 at his Austin home, according to the Austin American-Statesman, said in 2014 that he was happy to see three of his frogs headed back to Dallas. A little slice of North Texas history returns to Lower Greenville Thursday night. I m proud to collaborate with a forward-thinking company like Taco Cabana that s helping bring the arts back to the Lower Greenville community and fun to its guests, Wade said.
