Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Friday, September 12, 2025.

We’re starting off today with a major traffic warning in Fort Worth. Emergency crews have responded to a crash on northbound I-35 West, right at the Rosedale interchange near I-30. The two right lanes are blocked, and backups are stretching past I-20 toward the Mixmaster. If you’re heading in from Rendon or Crowley, make sure to give yourself extra time. That’s not all — Loop 12 Walton Walker is closed past Northwest Highway headed into Irving, all due to debris from an overnight wreck. Please avoid those areas if possible.

On the weather front, we’re inching closer to the weekend with classic Texas heat. Expect temperatures to hit the mid-90s, with humidity making it feel even toastier as we move through the day. Early morning clouds will give way to sun by midday — so make sure to stay hydrated if you’re out at events or heading to work.

Turning to city hall, preservation is top of mind this week. Meredith Koko, owner of the historic former D. Hart and Sons Livestock Co. building at 2629 North Main Street, assures us that demolition is not the plan for the 110-year-old Stockyards warehouse. The building’s structural issues triggered a demolition permit, but the intent is to salvage and incorporate as much history as possible into a new mixed-use boutique hotel and whiskey tasting room, partnering with McKibbon Hospitality.

Staying with business, Fort Worth-based tea franchise HTeaO is launching a fall beverage duo with Poppi, the popular prebiotic soda. You can try Orange Dream Poppi and Root Beer Floatin’ Poppi at local HTeaO stores beginning today.

In community news, excitement is building for weekend events. The Cowtown Classic Car Show rolls into Sundance Square Saturday, and the Near Southside Art Walk is tomorrow evening along Magnolia Avenue, boasting a great mix of local food, music, and visual art. The Fort Worth Symphony opens its new season Saturday night at Bass Performance Hall, featuring a concert series celebrating Texas composers.

Over in education, the Fort Worth ISD is facing major changes. Chief financial officer Carmen Arrieta-Candelaria has announced she’s leaving for a new role in El Paso County as the TEA considers a potential state takeover of the district. Her exit comes just as the district posted the CFO role, with a salary range beginning at one-hundred-seventy-six thousand. Trustees are grappling with a forty-three million dollar budget shortfall, so school finances remain a hot topic. Meanwhile, Southwest High’s volleyball team clinched a thrilling 3-2 victory against Arlington Heights last night, continuing their streak.

On the job front, we’re seeing steady hiring in hospitality and education, especially with new hotels breaking ground in Grapevine and school positions opening up — the district’s new CFO job is now live online.

Our crime report this morning highlights two incidents. A suspected drunk driver, found asleep behind the wheel on West Point Boulevard near Loop 820 earlier this week, was arrested after being boxed in by police. Thankfully, no one was hurt. In another case, police are searching for a hit-and-run driver after an eight-year-old boy was struck at a Fort apartment complex last Friday. The boy, Liam Park, is recovering well, but anyone with information about the dark-colored SUV involved should contact police.

And here’s a feel-good moment to wrap up. In the Stockyards, a group of local volunteers helped an elderly neighbor rescue two stray horses that had wandered onto her property, exemplifying the caring spirit of our city.
