Over the years, that became impossible, and you couldn't purchase anything unless you went to Hulen. The appearances of Berry Street and University Drive are as opposite as their paths. On University Drive from Interstate 30 south to its intersection with Berry Street, the rolling hills of the curving road are lined with old trees. But Berry Street, lined with fast food restaurants and parking lots, is a different picture.
Empty buildings dot both sides of the street.
Those that formerly housed the Family Christian Bookstore, Video Update, Blockbuster Music, Berry Street Grill and the Back Porch restaurant now stand vacant as businesses go bankrupt or their owners look for more suitable locations. In recent years, University Drive has become home to Einstein Bros Bagels, Melissa's Thoughts The Greek Shoppe and Panera Bread. On Berry Street, Walgreen's, Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin Robbins and Weinerschnitzel have opened. The building that once housed Chicken Express reopened as a Pizza Hut. Don Mills, vice chancellor for student affairs, said last semester that the longer blocks of University Drive, combined with traffic bound for the University Parks shopping center, the Fort Worth Zoo and TCU, have led to the increased development on University.
