I’ve just received this info from the Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber Of Commerce, and decided it needed to be made known. There will be a meeting May 1st at the Handley-Meadowbrook Community Center (Map) at 6:00 PM in support of efforts by the FWMBCC to persuade the city to support the creation of two commuter rail lines using existing tracks near Lancaster and Rosedale to serve the east side of the city.

Since I’m lazy by nature, I see no reason not to just link to the roundup of political events that the Star-Telegram has put together, instead of going to all that effort myself.

I will add this, though: Please take public transit. That’s the one thing that the roundup leaves out. They list plenty of parking options, but never mention that a whole bunch of perfectly good buses (in the case of the stockyards) and trains (the convention center gets both!) that go by these places that would love to see you on them. (You could also ride your bike, since both are on street bike trails and/or near the Trinity trails.)
