    Super Bowl Patrols, Traffic Calming, and Local Business Buzz - Fort Worth Local Pulse
    2026/02/08
    Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Sunday, February 8. We kick off with breaking news from our highways, where Texas state troopers are saturating major routes like I-35W and I-20 today, ramping up patrols as fans gear up for Super Bowl LX between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. Drive safe if youre heading to a watch party at a spot like Billy Bobs Texas.

    Shifting to city hall updates, the council just greenlit a new traffic calming plan for West 7th Street, adding speed bumps and better crosswalks to cut accidents and ease daily commutes for families near the Stockyards. On the weather front, mild temps in the low 60s with partly cloudy skies make it perfect for outdoor activities, though a light breeze off the Trinity River might chill evening events. Expect the same tomorrow, no major disruptions.

    New business buzz includes the grand opening of a trendy coffee roastery on Magnolia Avenue, bringing fresh brews and pop-up markets thatll boost our local scene. Real estate is heating up too, with about 250 homes sold last month around Arlington Heights, up 15 percent, signaling strong demand for our neighborhoods.

    For sports, TCU womens basketball pulled off a thrilling win over a ranked opponent last night at Schollmaier Arena, keeping our Horned Frogs in contention. Local high schools shone too, with Paschal Eagles clinching a playoff spot in boys soccer.

    Crime report from the past day stays calm: Fort Worth police made two arrests near downtown for minor thefts, no major incidents or safety alerts affecting our routines.

    Looking ahead, join the free community cleanup at Burnett Park tomorrow, and dont miss the jazz night at the Modern Art Museum on Tuesday. In feel-good news, a North Side elementary raised funds to plant 50 trees along Hemphill Street, greening our streets for kids to enjoy.

  • Fort Worth ISD Loses Appeal, Tax Hike, Deadly Fire, and Stockyards Rodeo Wrap-up

    Fort Worth ISD Loses Appeal, Tax Hike, Deadly Fire, and Stockyards Rodeo Wrap-up
    2026/02/07
    Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Saturday, February 7th. We kick off with breaking news from our schools: Fort Worth ISD has lost its appeal against a state takeover, clearing the path for Texas Education Agency leaders to appoint a new board of managers and superintendent in the coming weeks. District trustees call it deeply disappointing but stress they will keep focusing on student safety and success during the transition, with daily classes unchanged for now. This stems from ongoing academic challenges at the former Forest Oak campus near Interstate 30.

    Shifting to city hall, council recently approved the Fiscal Year 2026 budget, raising the tax rate by about half a percent, which means roughly two dollars more per year on a hundred thousand dollar home for maintenance like roads and parks around City Hall on Weatherford Street.

    In tough crime news from the past day, one person sadly died in a house fire last night in the 3800 block of Wilbarger Street, just west of Highway 287. Fire crews found heavy flames and pulled the victim out, but they passed at the scene. Arson investigators are on it, as with all fatal fires.

    Our feel-good story comes from the Stockyards, where the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo wraps up today at Dickies Arena. At 9 a.m., do not miss the livestock auction featuring White Castle, the 1450-pound grand champion steer raised by 13-year-old Caiman Cody from nearby Tolar. His family poured a year and a half into this buddy, and past champs have fetched up to 400 thousand dollars. Stick around for the 1 p.m. high school rodeo shootout, 7:30 p.m. PRORODEO, and Blue Water Highway at 10 p.m. The event powered through that recent ice storm, keeping indoor fun going.

    New business buzz: Phase two expansion at the Historic Stockyards Hotel and H3 Ranch moves forward after last years city approval, boosting jobs in the area.

    Weather today stays chilly after the storm, with highs near 45 degrees under partly cloudy skies, perfect for indoor rodeo but bundle up for outdoor walks along the Trinity Trails. Expect the same tomorrow.

    Community events ahead: Code Rangers neighborhood cleanup starts soon, lifeguard tryouts for city pools next month, and a TCU talk on womens safety tomorrow evening.

  • Fort Worth Stock Show Finale, Convention Center Renovation, and Panther Island Updates

    Fort Worth Stock Show Finale, Convention Center Renovation, and Panther Island Updates
    2026/02/06
    Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Friday, February 6. We kick off with great news from the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo wrapping up tomorrow at the Will Rogers Memorial Center. Everyone gets in free on Saturday, thanks to warm temperatures and sunny skies, so we can all enjoy the carnival midway, petting zoo, horse shows, and live music from Blue Water Highway at the Michelob Ultra Roadhouse. Just note rodeo tickets at Dickies Arena and parking at twenty dollars per vehicle are extra. Its a perfect family outing before it ends.

    Shifting to city hall, we unveiled Phase Two of the Convention Center renovation yesterday. The iconic dome comes down early next year after final events in September, making way for a modern four-story building by 2030 with bigger exhibit halls and ballrooms, all inspired by our Modern West style. Itll boost downtown jobs and events near Sundance Square. Meanwhile, council eyes pay raises for city workers on February fourteenth and a public hearing February tenth for a Panther Island improvement district along the Trinity River, funding lights, streets, and safety with assessments starting low at two cents per hundred dollars valuation.

    Weather wise, sunny skies persist after last weeks Winter Storm Fern, with highs near sixty-five today around Clearfork and low impact on our roads. Expect more sun through the weekend, ideal for outdoor plans.

    In development, officials improved notifications for film shoots like those from SGS Studios in Alliance, now alerting neighborhoods within a mile via Nextdoor and groups, easing street closures on places like North Tarrant Parkway.

    Local schools shine too. Aledo High counseling team earned the CREST award for excellence, and Finley Jones from Aledo took Late Spring Heifer Calf Champion at the Stock Show.

    Crime stayed calm past twenty-four hours, no major incidents reported by Fort Worth police, keeping our neighborhoods safe.

    For community spirit, Panther Island gears up with Seco Ventures residential project at North Main and Northwest Fourth, promising vibrant canals and green spaces soon.

    Upcoming, catch council votes next week and Stock Show finale tomorrow. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and subscribe for daily updates. This has been Fort Worth Local Pulse.

  • Fort Worth Local Pulse: Charter Amendments, Winter Storm Aftermath, and New Business Buzz

    Fort Worth Local Pulse: Charter Amendments, Winter Storm Aftermath, and New Business Buzz
    2026/02/05
    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.

  • Fort Worth Local Pulse: School's Back, Firefighter's Justice, and Wintry Family Fun

    Fort Worth Local Pulse: School's Back, Firefighter's Justice, and Wintry Family Fun
    2026/01/30
    Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Friday, January 30.

    We start with the big story from our icy week: Fort Worth ISD schools are open today after shutting down for the winter storm, unlike neighbors like Keller and Dallas ISDs still closed. Parents like Evelyn Martinez near Glen Park Elementary say drives were tricky with black ice on sidewalks, but kids are thrilled to escape cabin fever. Our bus drivers showed up two hours early to warm routes safely, using the district app to track pickups around town. Expect slick spots near the Stockyards this morning, so drive slow; todays outlook holds steady in the upper 30s with light sun, no big melt yet, keeping outdoor plans cautious.

    Shifting to public safety, firefighter Caleb Halvorson spoke out after a Tarrant County grand jury dropped arson charges against Shawndreika Thomas in last years Southside blaze that left him critically burned near Magnolia Avenue. Shes indicted for burglary instead, facing up to twenty years. Halvorson, who spent weeks in Parkland while his newborn was in the NICU, says justice feels short for his family. The citys now fast-tracking his workers comp care.

    On a brighter note, Fort Worth native and Steinway artist Danny Wright just dropped his new album, Piano Moments from the 70s, perfect for thawing vibes at home. Job seekers, Lockheed Martin posted subcontract admin roles here yesterday, amid steady demand around Naval Air Station. Real estate hums with about 1,200 listings downtown, rounded up, as buyers eye post-storm deals near Sundance Square.

    City Hall watches water plans: the Marvin Nichols Reservoir project, pushed by Fort Worth firm Freese and Nichols, got postponed twenty years, prioritizing conservation for our growing area. No major new businesses today, but Aledo Middle staff praise their child care center for easing work-life balance.

    Sports quick hit: Aledo baseball scrimmages kick off Sunday at Mansfield Legacy. Community event: tune into local anti-trafficking talks inspired by road safety drives.

    Feel-good moment: brothers Casey and Corbin near Fort Worth schools slipped on ice but bonded over snow play, reminding us storms build family fun.

  • Catastrophic Winter Storm Grips Fort Worth: Schools Closed, Flights Canceled, Officials Urge Caution

    Catastrophic Winter Storm Grips Fort Worth: Schools Closed, Flights Canceled, Officials Urge Caution
    2026/01/24
    Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Saturday, January twenty-fourth.

    We're waking up to a winter weather situation that's impacting everything happening across our city today. Forecasters are calling this a potentially catastrophic winter storm, and we're seeing the effects right now. The National Weather Service reports that freezing temperatures began around four this morning, and we're expecting ice accumulation of a quarter to half inch, followed by sleet and snow throughout the day. Travel conditions are hazardous, and officials are urging everyone to stay home if at all possible.

    Despite the dangerous conditions, the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo is proceeding as planned this weekend. Management says all scheduled events at the Will Rogers Memorial Center and Dickies Arena will go forward, though crews are working around the clock to remove ice from streets and walkways. However, the Colter Wall and Friends concerts scheduled for last night and today at Will Rogers Auditorium have been canceled due to the weather. Tickets are being automatically refunded.

    In sports news, the Dallas Mavericks are still planning to play the Los Angeles Lakers today, though fans are encouraged to arrive early. The North and North Platinum entrances will be closed to help the building maintain its temperature.

    Here in Fort Worth, city leaders are taking this seriously. Emergency warming centers opened yesterday, with the primary shelter located at Fair Worth's Fair Park, which can accommodate more than a thousand people. Fort Worth also opened an emergency shelter for people experiencing homelessness at eleven hundred East Lancaster Avenue, staying open until temperatures rise to safe levels. The city has fifty sanding trucks positioned at critical locations including bridges, overpasses, major intersections, hospitals, and fire stations.

    Many businesses and schools have adjusted their operations. H-E-B stores across the metroplex are opening at eight in the morning, and several school districts have canceled weekend activities. Arlington ISD called off all after-school programs and weekend events, with a decision on Monday's schedule expected by Sunday afternoon.

    Over a thousand flights have been canceled at DFW International and Dallas Love Field combined as airlines proactively reduce schedules. The managed lane operators have closed all DFW TEXpress corridors, including the LBJ Express and North Tarrant Express.

    Looking ahead, temperatures will remain below freezing through Monday, with the coldest point coming Sunday night into Monday morning. We won't see above-freezing temperatures until Tuesday afternoon, when conditions should finally improve.

    We want to remind everyone to check on neighbors, especially seniors and those with special needs. Stay warm, stay safe, and please stay off the roads if you can.

  • Brace for Arctic Blast: Fort Worth Prepares for Freezing Rain, Slick Roads, and Community Closures

    Brace for Arctic Blast: Fort Worth Prepares for Freezing Rain, Slick Roads, and Community Closures
    2026/01/23
    Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Friday, January 23. We kick off with breaking news on the winter storm barreling our way, straight from the City of Fort Worths cold weather update. Very cold temperatures and freezing sleet hit this afternoon around 3 to 6 p.m. near major spots like the Trinity River bridges and I-30 corridors, with 0.5 to 1 inch of rain turning icy first. Expect over 60 hours of subfreezing air, so roads will slick up fast—our Street Operations team prioritizes sanding those 8,600 lane miles starting with high-traffic arteries. Trinity Metro warns of bus delays and possible TEXRail slowdowns; check RideTrinityMetro.org for real-time tweaks. Community centers like Handley Meadowbrook and Como shut at 6 p.m. today through Sunday, except for early voting, and Animal Care shelters close at 4 p.m. City Hall activated overflow shelters for folks without homes—head to regular spots first near downtown or Union Gospel Mission, or call 311 if needed. FWPDs HOPE team handed out warming station info yesterday, and theyve boosted patrols through the weekend.

    This weather disrupts daily life big time—trash pickup rolls to next week on slick streets, and protect your pipes by knowing your shut-off valve now, as Fort Worth Water urges. Bring pets indoors below 20 degrees; FWACC offers free straw and sweaters at FWACCINTAKES@fortworthtexas.gov if you cant. No major crime in the last 24 hours, but stay vigilant on icy Lancaster Avenue or Hemphill Street—dial 911 for crises.

    New business stays quiet amid the freeze, but real estate holds steady with median homes around $320,000 last month per local reports. Jobs market shows 4 percent unemployment, with openings in logistics near Alliance Airport. Quick nod to local schools: Paschal Highs basketball team won 65-52 over Arlington Thursday night.

    Looking ahead, bundle up for the Point In Time Count tonight connecting volunteers with unsheltered neighbors. Community events pause till Monday, but watch for aquatics plan meetings at Southwest Community Center soon.

    And a feel-good story: Volunteers distributed bus passes and shelter brochures yesterday, warming hearts before the chill.

  • Massive Winter Storm Hits North Texas, City Hall Talks Firefighters Collective Bargaining

    Massive Winter Storm Hits North Texas, City Hall Talks Firefighters Collective Bargaining
    2026/01/22
    Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Thursday, January 22.

    We kick off with a big alert on the weather front. A massive winter storm barrels toward North Texas this weekend, bringing ice up to one inch thick, sleet, and possibly two to five inches of snow by Sunday, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. Todays mild with highs in the mid-fifties and cloudy skies, perfect for stocking up on supplies, wrapping pipes, and prepping pets before freezing temps drop to around ten degrees and wind chills hit negative ten. Statewide, Governor Abbott has activated emergency resources, and TxDOT crews pretreat roads like I-35W near downtown. Unlike the deadly 2021 storm, this one promises shorter cold snaps, but we stay home if possible to avoid slick spots on Trinity River trails or West Seventh bridges.

    Shifting to city hall, Trinty Metros board just approved a resolution boosting our partnership with DART for better regional transit, easing commutes from the Stockyards to downtown. Today at ten a.m., firefighters collective bargaining kicks off at City Hall on Fort Worth Trail, a key talk impacting public safety jobs.

    In Northside neighborhoods near Panther Island, exciting progress fights displacement with a new community action committee, funded by ULI Dallas-Fort Worths forty-five thousand dollar grant. Property values jumped sixty percent since 2016, but were empowering residents through UrbanPlan education and cultural events like the recent Tamal and Atole Festival to shape growth along North Main Street.

    Over in Grapevine-Colleyville schools, officials canceled the Islamic Games at a local high school over ties to CAIR, which Governor Abbott labeled terroristic. Local leaders like Keller Mayor Armin Mizani praised the move, sparking debate on community events.

    Crime stays low in the past day, with no major incidents or arrests reported by Fort Worth PD, keeping our streets safe amid prep for the storm.

    North Texas schools report solid winter sports starts, and job postings hold steady around twelve thousand locally per Indeed.

    Looking ahead, bundle up for potential weekend event cancellations, but catch fire bargaining updates online.
