While going for a Sunday burger at Fred’s Texas I was struck to see the progress of the West 7th Development. So struck that I began to wonder if Fred’s would make it through the transition. Luckily for me I was comforted by the owners short but confident answer that they would not be going anywhere.
So good news burder lovers, it appears that the Terry Chandler owns not only one fine structure, but also the land that it sits on (via his father). I would just hate to see this staple of Ft. Worth uprooted. And while the atmosphere will surely be changing, it appears Fred’s will stay the same. Until it burns down again of course.
The upward movement of the appraisal value is a bit striking however. Seems the taxable value has more than tripled in three years. Unbelievable. Those are going to some expensive burgers; I’ll still pay extra for blue cheese.
