Comment on Anyone Want To Be On a Game Show? by Mister Teacher

Mister Teacher — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 04:11:22 +0000

Not sure if anyone is still reading this, but…

Any idea when this show is going to actually AIR? I was one of the contestants over a year ago, but the show never made it to tv! Which is really a shame (besides the fact that I was on it!) because it was a cool show — people would like it.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

John

Comment on OU vs. BYU at JerryWorld in 2009? by Ben

I think this is a great oppurtunity for BYU to step on the national stage, and show how good a team they profess to be. A win would do works for their program. However it will not be easy if they play like they did when they played TCU or the U, than no contest. If they play like they did when they played UCLA then we will have a great ball game. If BYU plays well then I would predict a shoot out, and BYU would win it on a last minute drive.

I am entertaining guests to Fort Worth this summer and was wondering if I might schedule a tour from where I live just outside downtown Fort Woth? I notice that there are city transit buses that stop across the street from where I live and was wondering if the tour buses would be ablre to take the same course? I live at 806 East 3rd Street. Can you help me with this request? Thank you in advance…..

StarText was the first commercial online service I used. Up until then I ran many BBS’s. StarText was awesome. I’m thinking of resurrecting something like it.

While I’m sad to see this site go, I like that things have a beginning and an end. See you guys around the blogosphere.

I am going here today for the first time.

I am vegetarian and 99.5% vegan.

I SO welcome anyone who opens a restaurant that offers any vegetarian / vegan entrees, I don’t care WHO they are.

I can’t wait to try it today. I will write again after.

You know I still get referrals from this site … it’s not too late to change your mind. I still think it might be a little early to throw in the proverbial towel. Meanwhile, those who might want to post a guest blog at Renaissance contact me at editor (at) fwrenassiance.com

[...] Fort Worth Can Do seems to be suggesting that the earthquake felt over the weekend might be related to gas drilling. Fortworthology is apparently serious about being on hiatus, until, they say, May 22. It’s better than just disappearing, but not completely reassuring after the sign-off by West and Clear last week.

Wow I had noticed things slowing down but never dreamed it would come to this. You will be missed. It was you that introduced me to all the blogs in the Fort Worth area and I thank you for that. I hope to see your input on the future of Fort Worth. The more input given by those who care the better.

Comment on Heritage Park - Still Closed by Teresa

Futura was a good guess, but I think your font may be Neuzeit Grotesque. It’s a 1940s typeface that enjoyed a revivial in the 1970s. It’s also possible that it is not a “font” at all, but might have been custom created just for the park; this is typical practice in identity design (especially city projects with big budgets!)

Damn you guys. I understand, but… damn you guys. This happens too often to the good things & people in this city.

Anyway, we will all miss you and “our” site terribly. It was a good run.

yep, thanks guys. sorry to see it wrap up after a short run, but you did a lot to open some eyes and to get some truth out in the open that otherwise would have languished in dark corners.

Taking all of our big family to this game. Can’t wait. This will be awsome in the new stadium. Was able to buy 8 tickets which was the limit. We are season ticket holder of the Dallas Cowboys. Was able to get 8 together as we got first chance. They will go on sell Sat. will have to get the rest of the tickets then.

While I’m happy to see the majority of comments here are positive and well meaning the few negative ones are really getting under my skin. It makes me want to start calling names. If you few are so concerned about W&C then why don’t you volunteer to take the reigns? Let’s see how you like working a FULL TIME JOB and also trying to run an IMPORTANT news site that covers the many dimensions of this town in a truthful and thoughtful fashion.

Even better would you volunteer to PAY for W&C? Because that’s what it takes to truly keep a vibrant site like this going. You can’t just expect someone to put all there time into something like this to entertain you and keep you informed without any sort of reciprocity.

Let these gentlemen go in peace. Wish them the fond farewell they deserve for the time they spent trying to do something great.

Gotta say this is a rather lame alternative to all of your hard-won efforts.

I realize personal obligations can demand priority, and life always gets in the way of the best of intentions, but an important brand has been built here at W&C. Why throw that away like a soggy tissue?

There’s five authors listed here — why not take on some other bloggers/writers/participants and transition ownership to new authorship? Keep the brand, mentor a few noobs and phase the burden of responsibility rather than flushing it away? Maybe keep the idea alive for a time when one of y’all again have time or interest in this particular outlet in the future?

Maybe you’re right, nothing worth reading here. Might as well invite electronic oblivion and wash it all away.

[...] West and Clear, Fort Worth’s flagship blog, is stopping publication. I can’t help but be in shock about this — after all, they appeared to be doing well, with strong readership and regular advertisements from folks like Fort Worth Opera and the Amon Carter Museum, patrons that any local blogger would feel proud to serve. After their long series on the downsizing at the Star-Telegram, could it be that Westand Clear were not immune to some of the downward pressure in journalism? And what are the factors that drove their decision? [...]
