This Week At Fort Worthology

by Kevin Buchanan

As some of you may know, I run West And Clear’s sister site, Fort Worthology. Fort Worthology is about urban development and urban living in Fort Worth, and promoting New Urbanism in the city. As part of a new feature here, I’m going to give you a rundown of what’s been happening on Fort Worthology since last Thursday.

I wrote an update on the construction of the Caceria Building, Wagner Oil’s new seven-story office/retail building downtown at 5th & Commerce.

Fort Worthology Contributor (and my significant other) Stephanie saw work being done on the Texas & Pacific Warehouse, as crews pumped water out of its basement.

My storm photos made an appearance there as well.

I promoted Modern ‘Til Midnight. Look for photos and a report soon!

A report on the progress being made on the new Southwest Bank on 7th Street.

I took to task those who say urban development in Fort Worth is pointless, because we’ll never be like New York, a statement which completely misses the point and fails to understand what “urban” means. I suggest that future development in Fort Worth won’t be anything like NYC - rather, more like Portland, Oregon.

Plans are revealed for the historic Shelton Building downtown.

The new Flatiron-style building at Museum Place heads skyward.
