概要

 Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Thursday, February 5th. We kick off with breaking developments from City Hall that could reshape our daily lives. Fort Worth Report says council members are eyeing a May ballot with eight charter amendments, including doubling the mayors salary to about 60,000 dollars and council pay to 50,000 dollars, plus giving City Manager Jay Chapa more power to reorganize departments and handle firings without council votes. They plan to call the election soon, aiming for clear language to build trust amid voter skepticism from past rejections.

Winter Storm Ferns aftermath lingers after claiming at least 11 lives across Texas, including kids in tragic accidents near Dallas. Here in Fort Worth, icy roads and cold snaps have slowed commutes on I-35W and Lancaster Avenue, so we drive carefully today. Expect partly cloudy skies with highs near 45 degrees and light winds, perfect for indoor events but bundle up if heading to Panther Island.

New business buzz includes HyProMag USAs Texas Hub at Ironhead Commerce Center advancing rare earth magnet recycling, with equipment now commissioning nearby in South Carolina and Nevada, promising local jobs in green tech. The Convention Center heads into its second phase, with designs wrapping by years end and the old arena demolition on deck.

Tonight, catch Broadway Trivia Night at Crystal Springs Hideaway on Roberts Cut Off Road starting at 6 PM, a fun way to shake off the chill. Tomorrow and Saturday bring Edgar Allan Poe nights at Division Brewing in Arlington, Victorian gothic vibes with The Raven reenactments, then Lunar New Year at Growl Records on Camp Bowie Boulevard with Chinese music and art hunts, free at the Kimbell. Sunday marks Galentines at Panther Island Brewing on North Main Street, with vendors and adoptable pups.

Quick sports nod to our TCU Horned Frogs prepping amid Super Bowl hype, and local schools report strong debate team wins at recent regionals. Crime-wise, police made two arrests overnight near West 7th for suspected burglaries, no major injuries, and urge locking vehicles downtown.

For a feel-good lift, we celebrate Fort Worth native Bob Schieffer, whose Vietnam soldier portraits open Monday at UTA Central Library, sharing stories of our 235 Texas troops he met.
