I've been watching a lot of Formula 1 racing lately and it got me thinking... The Fort Worth Grand Prix!
 

 

Ha! See ya in Vegas...

[FunkyTownTay]

Very excited for the Vegas race!

The Dallas Morning News is reporting that Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams furniture company is going out of business and all of their stores will be closing.

[John T Roberts]

I have no doubt that Clearfork will be able to fill that space quickly.

Fort Worth Report,
Experts question $22 million tax break to move luxury car dealership to Clearfork shopping center

[roverone]

I think the out-of-towner's commentary about the Clearfork incentives missed out on a couple of things: most importantly the bigger picture of the sliding-tile puzzle effect that this move will have for the city in opening up a larger block of property along White Settlement for higher-use development; and the luxury nature of these particular car dealerships with their ability to continue to shore up the comparatively lacking higher-end amenities that our city needs to be competitive with our neighboring regional cities to attract growth in a balanced way.

Keith House looks just about done. 

 

 

[John T Roberts]

It is looking nice.

[Nitixope]

I wonder what happened to the roof here?

[roverone]

That is a strange dirt / stain considering that is clad in wood, but it almost looks like it was there already in early June in your photo in post #600.

[RD Milhollin]

Tannin/pollen stains from the oak tree? The projecting eave could keep it from getting washed off by rains.

[Nitixope]

It appears to be some kind of weepage. I recall seeing the mechanical equipment upstairs when I toured the project. Hopefully this is just construction related and easily pressure washed off.

Here's a few more photos from my bike ride yesterday evening.

 

Showing signs of life at The Tradition.  If you look closely, there are residents moved in, with patio chairs on the balconies, I saw one lady sitting up there and other walking a dog out by the trail.

 

 

 

Back over at Keith House, I took a couple more photos to follow-up on Austin55's post from the other day.  Things are looking really nice just in time for fall.  Still quite a bit of landscaping, hardscapes and flatwork to do.

 

 

I really like the wrap-around porch...it is very inviting:

 

 

 

The wall is shaping up nicely.  Press Cafe is over to my left.

 

 

I noticed this security vulnerability in the fence, I supposed someone if they really wanted to could slip through here.

 

This is facing north and you can see straight ahead where the access point through the brush will connect out to the bike trail / river.

 

I spotted this guy sunbathing on a tree further up river:
