About Me
We have a house in Haslet, but love DTFW, so plan to visit as often as possible!
In my spare time, I play and record my own music - about 80 pieces in the past couple years - half covers and half originals. I've got a current accumulation of 11 guitars and a bass, as well as a digital piano and the dreaded drum machine (actually quite surprised and happy with the sound and quality!).
Another obsession of mine is photography, which I share from time to time!

#71780 "Fort Worth": Going, going...gone?
Posted by Ron Payne on 17 August 2012 - 10:24 AM
That said, even as a transplanted resident of downtown FW, I hate being associated with Big D by people who don't know better! I work at a plant in Saginaw whose corporate offices are in Vancouver, WA. For several years, the plant was referred to as the 'Dallas plant' before we finally got them to call us 'Saginaw'!
To add insult to injury (and to further illustrate your point), my sister-in-law and brother-in-law drove out from California to visit a couple months ago and called on the way in saying they are on 114 headed for Dallas. We asked why they are headed for Dallas, and they replied, "Isn't that where you live?"...

The Flatiron if it were more flat
Burnett if it were a chimney (or a bookend?)

The day begins with the obligatory "push-back"
The sun is just beginning to peek over the horizon
Home is never far away...
Although this is actually another sunrise, for our purposes, we'll call it a sunset and the end of the show!

From the main Post Office on Lancaster
Kind of creepy
From the top of the P.O. columns, I've posted one of these before, but found one without the brass stains
The old and the new
Light fixture outside the Masonic Temple at Henderson and Lancaster
Fire Station 2 on Texas Street - signs of Art Deco!
The original Fort Worth fire bell - purchased in 1882 for the volunteer FD, used by the regular FD starting in 1893, and retired in 1912 when the automatic system was installed

Brick and tile work still looking good after 80+ years!
Haunted? Maybe not, but certainly creepy!
Recent rains or is it always like this?
Some serious support columns
Elevator shafts sans elevators
Was there a brick road behind this building, or was this just part of the parking lot?

Time to freshen up!
Still had a Holley 750 double-pumper on it at this point
Picked up an award or two along the way...

First, yesterday's delivery - an Ibanez EW20AS with figured ash front, back and sides, mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard - exquisite!
Next up, my Dean acoustic electric in African Bubinga wood, again with a mahogany neck
This is the 5-piece mahogany headstock of my Ovation Model 1124, sporting an ebony fingerboard on the other side
Next is the spruce body of my Charvel 625C, with rosewood back and sides and rosewood extended fingerboard
One of my favorites - this is the back of my 1964 Goya classical - flamed maple with a mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard
Last, but certainly not least, this homely little guy is my 1961 Gibson C1E, with maple top, mahogany back and sides and rosewood fingerboard. It may not look as good as some of the others, but the sound is the sweetest of all!

The Tower in the Carter-Burgess building
And a good ol' (local airline) jet reflected in, well, the jet engine!
