Ever imagine what it looks like from the cockpit of a passenger jet landing and taking off from DFW? The Airliner blog has the videos, Captain.
The Fort Worthian finds that silver lining after getting a traffic citation. A trip downtown to deal with the ticket led Steve to Bailey BBQ on Taylor, a place he’d never noticed before.
The Durango Texas blog has writeup and YouTube-ry from last Saturday’s PrairieFest. You’ll see our booth at about 3:16 on the video! We are famous in the internet! Durango Texas looks like a pretty interesting read (especially the frequent Star-Telegram bashing) and I am looking forward to spending some time on the site.
No guarantees this is exactly legal or even moral, but this here blog has links to bootleg recordings of Jimi Hendrix at the Memorial Auditorium in Dallas on Feb 16, 1968 and the Will Rogers Auditorium here in Fort Worth on Feb 17, 1968. Tom Huckabee talked at length about Hendrix at Will Rogers in our comments a few months back. I wonder if there was ‘l’amore’ in the bushes that night?
Kevin over at the Finding Balance blog reports that the FW/D metroplex is named one of the 3 worst cities for cycling in the US by Bicycling Magazine. Ahhh, but Kevin knows what we know–cycling in Fort Worth is great, especially with the tens of miles of Trinity Trails.
Former Fort Worth Cat Luke Hochevar picked up his first win as a Kansas City Royal Saturday, pitching 6 innings and striking out three Toronto Blue Jays.
I am always like “Alison V. Smith is one of my favorite photographers, blah blah blah, ad naseum” but check out these pics from a recent night-time visit to Fort Worth.
Speaking of photography, commercial photographer FJ Gaylor makes a living shooting images to be used in recruitment collateral by colleges and universities. I’ve never even heard of that niche but that sounds like a pretty sweet racket. Based out of Hartford, CT, Gaylor travels to schools across the country doing photo shoots. Check out work from his recent visit to Texas Wesleyan.
onelescar took the train up from Austin to ride his bike around Fort Worth. He reports Fred’s has one of the best burgers in Texas and stopped by Panther City Bicycles for some bike shop bro-ing off. Sounds like the perfect day.
And speaking on BBQ, Fort Worth Hole in the Wall announces his top three BBQ places in Fort Worth, with some pretty thorough reviewing of all the conteneders. Nice work. My stomach is growling. I hope I can get this Roundup done soon.
I was bummed when I read that Danny Federici, the keyboardist for the E Street Band before even Bruce Springsteen joined the band, succumbed to cancer last week. The Stash Dauber posted a couple of relevant YouTube videos and a link to the Boss’s eulogy.
