Doug's Gym
Doug's Gym was founded in 1962 in Dallas, Texas, by Douglas Eidd, who has been operating the facility in the same downtown location for over fifty years. The gym is one of the landmarks of downtown Dallas. It has been recognized repeatedly as one of the best in the United States.
==History==
Douglas Eidd (born November 4, 1930) founded Doug's Gym at 2010½ Commerce Street on September 1, 1962, after serving in the Korean War as a physiotherapist (1950–1953) and working in several Dallas gymnasiums.〔(www.dougsgymdallas.com ).〕 The gymnasium was located at the heart of the then bustling downtown area, right opposite the famous Dallas Statler Hilton hotel. When John F. Kennedy was slain on November 22, 1963, Eidd witnessed the ensuing commotion at the police station across the street.〔Roy Appleton, “Lifting Spirits since '62,” ''Dallas Morning News'' (July 20, 2008), p. 1: “There was all the commotion outside the police station across Commerce Street after President John F. Kennedy was slain.”〕 Jack Ruby was a regular visitor to the gym.〔Philipp W. Rosemann, “Doug's Gym: a Gym with a Soul,” (University of Dallas) ''University News'' (March 4, 2008), p. 13.〕 In the 1970s and 1980s, the area around 2010½ Commerce Street became increasingly deserted, but more recently has experienced a revitalization, like many cities in the US. Thus, Doug's Gym now overlooks the new Main Street Garden Park.
