Anger Room in Dallas off to smashing start

DALLAS — If ever there was a recession-proof business, the Anger Room is it.

For fees ranging from $25 to $75, visitors to the North Dallas facility are ushered into a protected space that can be decorated like a living room, kitchen or office. They are then invited to break up the furnishings with a baseball bat, hammer or blunt object of their choice.

“There’s a lot of people who are stressed out when the economy’s good; but when it’s bad, there’s an increased frustration out there,” said owner Donna Alexander. “We’ve been getting a lot of business.”

Alexander said she conceived the idea of the Anger Room as a 16-year-old living in Chicago.

This allows you to hit the ball and imagine hitting someone. One time I hit a volleyball into my female team member right in the butt. She turned around and said keep your eyes on the ball not my butt. She had a good butt.
