Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Sunday, September 14th, 2025. Let’s get started with what’s making news in our city today.

We begin at City Hall, where Fort Worth Councilwoman Elizabeth Beck remains in the spotlight. She’s facing increased scrutiny from the public after a controversial social media post about Charlie Kirk’s assassination circulated in recent days. Security has since been stepped up, with the city allocating police protection for Beck, a move sparking debate on the use of taxpayer dollars for councilmember safety, according to the Dallas Express.

Meanwhile, Fort Worth has re-elected Mayor Mattie Parker in a landslide victory. Parker secured just under 70 percent of the vote, a clear sign of confidence from voters across the city. She’ll continue to focus on growth, public safety, and new economic development initiatives. Many of us can expect to see her push for expanded green spaces and dive deeper into affordable housing policies over the next term.

Looking ahead, today’s weather gives us a break from the intense summer heat. The National Weather Service reports we’re in for a partly cloudy day. Highs reach the mid-80s with a slight chance of rain in the evening. If you’re heading out to the Trinity Trails or planning a Sunday picnic at Trinity Park, conditions look just about perfect until about sunset. The next few days promise a similar pattern, warm but more comfortable, with a gentle breeze sticking around for the start of the week.

On the real estate front, the Fort Worth market is showing its first signs of cooling off since the start of the year. Median home prices hover near $370,000. Area realtors say listings are staying active about 12 days longer than this spring, giving buyers a little more breathing room.

For job seekers, Cook Children’s Health Care System is hosting a major hiring fair Wednesday at their main campus on Eighth Avenue. With more than 200 positions open, roles range from entry-level housekeeping to experienced nurses, and interviews are happening on site.

Downtown continues to buzz with new business activity. Magnolia Avenue is welcoming a brand new farm-to-table bistro opening this Friday, while fan favorite Panther City Vinyl just announced they’re expanding their music space and adding live shows on weekends. Sadly, longtime coffee shop Daybreak Café on Rosedale will close its doors this week after nearly two decades.

In community sports, the Paschal High Panthers edged out Arlington Heights Friday night with a late touchdown at Farrington Field, delighting a packed stadium of fans. Over at TCU, the Horned Frogs women’s soccer team delivered a thrilling win, coming from behind to beat SMU 3 to 2.

On the public safety front, Fort Worth police report a quiet Saturday night overall but there was a break-in on the 2800 block of Hemphill, which officers believe was an isolated incident. Neighborhood patrols have been increased in that area.

If you’re looking for something to do, the Stockyards are set for the annual Red Steagall Cowboy Gathering this weekend, with live music and ranch rodeo events running Friday through Sunday. Central Market’s Taste of Texas food fest starts tomorrow, showcasing local chefs and producers—always a treat for food lovers.

Let’s end with a feel-good story. Volunteers from the Southside Community Center spent Saturday morning building raised garden beds at Daggett Elementary. Students will soon harvest their own vegetables for the first time, part of an award-winning nutrition program.
