Monday Roundup: Stimulus Watch Edition

by Steve Smith

How do you spend $787 billion dollars? Of course, some — including our own Gov. Rick Perry — might say not at all. However, if you want to peek at local projects that might receive federal funds and weigh in on which are deserving (or not), visit the Stimulus Watch website. There’s about $1.7 billion in shovel-ready projects there to consider. Tip of the hat to Recyclican for this link.

  • No Idea Festival: This group of experimental music artists will be coming to Lola’s Sixth Street on Tuesday.
  • Tandy Hills Hills Brush Bash: Durango has the update.
  • Leonard Cohen Coming in April: I’ve been listening to a lot of his work lately, so I was happy to find out that he’s coming in April. For an idea of what to expect, here is the NYT review.
  • La Piazza Reviewed: Francis at Food and Fort Worth offers his take.
  • Rahr Loves Nature: Evidently, Rahr does more than just make great beer, they also work with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation.
  • Heade’s Up: One of my favorite paintings, Martin Johnson Heade’s Thunder Storm on Narragansett Bay made a guest appearance on Saturday Night Live. H/t Amon Carter Blog.
  • Radio Shack Not Sucking As Much? According to Yahoo!HotJobs, Radio Shack is ranked 17th on companies hiring this quarter.
  • Cattle Barn Flea Market: One of the true Fort Worth experience’s in the Cattle Barn Flea Market. Check out Thimblewicket’s take on the goings-on there.
  • Cliburn auditions continue: If you want to hear some outstanding classical music for free, drop by Ed Landreth Hall at TCU today and tomorrow.
