In Topic: FWST - Amon Carter Field/Greater Fort Worth Airport

Yesterday, 10:11 PM

That eastern boundary is the county line.  It was also the boundary of the old Amon Carter Field.  When the airport was built, I believe the City annexed the land for the old airport, and the way they reached it was that they annexed some of the roads up to it.  From what I can remember, only the roads were annexed and the property on either side was not.


In Topic: Downtown Fort Worth Walking Tour

For those of you who missed the tour today, we were fortunate enough to actually go inside the Hollywood Theater.  Only my group of the two had this opportunity.  There was no light in the space, so we could only use our cell phones.  My photographs did not turn out well.  I was also rushed because they only allowed 10 people at a time to go into the space.

You will have fun, even if you aren't on a bicycle.  The terrain is challenging out there when you are riding a bicycle. 

 

The community is very artistic and there are several interesting places to visit.  One night, you should try to go out to the Marfa Lights Viewing Pavilion to see if you can see them.  Also, star gazing at the Pavilion is excellent.

Rriojas71, you should.  It's a great place to visit.  Every year, the Fort Worth Bicycling Association has a 3 day ride in the Davis Mountains, starting in Fort Davis.  On the second day, the route goes from Fort Davis, to Alpine, to Marfa, and back to Fort Davis. 


In Topic: Ellis-Pecan Bldg

09 May 2024 - 12:10 AM

AIAFW had a continuing education session at the Ellis Pecan Building on Wednesday.  It was my first opportunity to go inside and I will admit that it is still a grand space and I look forward to see Transform 1012 N. Main executing their plan for the building.  Over the years, I did have a few legal opportunities to go inside, but it wasn't ever possible with my work schedule.
