There aren’t an awful lot of these old inlaid street names in the city (ditto for the old blue & white tile street names on the curbs). This lovely example is at 8th & Houston downtown, next to the W. T. Waggoner Building.
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.
This week:
Don’t forget to vote on Tuesday, November 6th. We’d like you to vote for Bernie if you’re undecided.
Also, the Lone Star International Film Festival kicks off on Wednesday the 7th and runs through the 11th. We still haven’t heard from Bill Paxton yet, but I’m looking at the list now, and I think I’d MUCH more like to meet Jay Chandrasekhar, so if anyone from the LSIFF publicity machine is reading this and can hook that up, drop us a line.
The more I’m seeing about this thing, the more excited I’m getting. Check out the events page for a list (and ticketing) of all the movies, dinners, panels, etc. Also, be sure to take a look a the parties page for a list of where you might rub elbows with a celebrity around town. Of note: local group Theater Fire are playing at the closing party at The Flying Saucer on Sunday at 8:00PM. You know I’m going to be there for that!
(edit - 3:30 PM) I forgot to mention earlier that we’re all looking forward to Ricki Derek’s new club, The Scat Jazz Lounge opening. We discussed that a bit during the show, too.
