Fort Worth and the Film Industry

04 March 2024 - 10:19 PM

The Fort Worth Report has an article about how Tarrant County College is training the future film workforce.  With all of the filming being done here in the city and throughout North Texas, this is great news.  Below is the link written by Seth Bodine and Olla Mokhtar.

New State Law Could Allow Developers to Shop for a City

25 February 2024 - 10:51 PM

This article is from the Fort Worth Report, via KERA's website.  Sandra Sadek is the reporter.  This new law is interesting, as it has impacts on a city's Extraterritorial Jursidiction and future annexation.  The link is below:

 

Fort Worth Concerned New State Law Allows Developers to 'City Shop'


Interior Photos of the Tarrant County Courthouse

15 January 2024 - 06:23 PM

After the Fort Worth Stock Show All Western Parade on Saturday, the Tarrant County Historical Commission held a tour of the Tarrant County Courthouse.  I have been on these tours before and I have posted a few photographs.  However, I decided to put a thread on the restored interior on the forum.  The Commission will host another tour during the Main Street Arts Festival, probably on April 20th.  The leader of my tour was Architect Art Weinman.  If the name sounds familiar, he is a third generation architect.  His grandfather was Ludwig Bernhardt Weinman, who designed several buildings still standing here in the city.

Merry Christmas 2023

24 December 2023 - 07:32 AM

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with another Fort Worth Christmas Tree photo.  This time, I went over to TCU and captured this photo of their tree.  I will still probably be a little scarce on the forum until after the New Year because I have a deadline of January 2nd.
