Something inside me says that the institute used to be housed in the old Swift Headquarters/Spaghetti Warehouse in the Stockyards, but that that building now houses some gas drilling company offices. The website has a lot of old info, and doesn't seem to have been really gone through lately, but my best guess is that the course will be on the new and improved TCU campus.

Mr. McGown's Mother votes in my polling place downtown. She is a total treat. Could talk to her for a week.
Side note. When I went to the top of the tower in the Courthouse a few years ago to watch the guy change the time on the clock, I dropped a lens shield up there. He found it and contacted me before I even knew it was missing. Great guy.

Just found this in the recent "TCU Learner's Guide Fall 2012" that is mailed to my residence. The course is the last part of a 3-part course on Fort Worth history taught by Quentin McGown at the TCU Center for Texas Studies. Not sure where the class is held as the web link for the specific course is broken right now. Here is the link to the TCU Extended Education courses of which the McGown lectures is a part:

Looking through the courses, though, I don't find Judge McGowan's. :(
