Peter Greenberg’s Ask the Locals City Guide featured an interesting article on a trip to Fort Worth. They seemed to hit the highlights like the Stockyards, Billy Bob’s Texas, and Joe T’s. I will say that they had Fred’s Texas listed in local highlights, but aside from that it was pretty typically what you would expect to find in any standard Fort Worth visitors guide. Which is totally boring.
When new people come to town I prefer to try to get them to do some of the things that are a little off the beaten path. I am notorious for tricking people into showing up to the Spiral Diner (organic vegan food for those who don’t know), and if not that then I prefer other local eateries. Things that come to mind would be Margie’s Italian food or M&M’s Steakhouse. I would absolutely never take a visitor to Joe T’s when I could take them to The Original, but that’s just me.
I wonder what would be listed if someone were to come up with a true locals guide to Fort Worth.
An 11 year old Mesquite girl died of Swine Flu recently. This is a sad case, and would appear to be the first regional death originating from H1N1 virus. Apparently the girl had no previously existing conditions. While some Swine Flu deaths can be attributed to a combination of illnesses, this one proves that H1N1 is deadly in itself.
I am not sure how I missed this happening in Fort Worth. Must have been all the rain keeping me in. Apparently there was an exceptionally large rally in the Sundance Square area of Downtown. I found an article about it (with corresponding you tube video) the Durango Texas blog.
Now I know that I would botch this pretty badly, but the the 9/12 movement was organized as a general conservative political rally. Of course, this also corresponds with the larger one posed in DC this weekend. I believe that it was widley promoted by Glenn Beck (could be wrong?), and was generally to promote an attitude of fiscally responsability and Constitutional prudence in this country.
I have to say I agree with those motives. I agreed with them before Obama and I agree with them now. But I won’t won’t go into that, and obviously I don’t know much about the 9/12 thing. Anway, here’s a video.
There’s a new blog up and running, bonnie and blog. They say that it’s designed for Fort Worth “Hipsters”, (whatever that means). I am fairly sure that I could count myself right out of that crowd, I might still read it though.
