Welcome to Fort Gas
The city is improving signage for tourist around the Stockyards, Downtown, and the Cultural District. Officials are also discussing an animatronic puppet of former mayor Mike Moncrief to scare children away from the city’s remaining large clusters of poisonous gas wells and pad sites where the soil is contaminated.
The Bell is Back
In the You’ll Miss Me When I’m Gone news category, Blue Bell Ice Cream will be back on the stands today in some areas. The Texas-based ice cream was pulled from stores after a plant in Alabama got some people seriously sick. Deemed too delicious to fail, the company promised it has learned its lesson about doing anything at all in Alabama.
A Chance to Kill Kirk Herbstreit
ESPN college football analyst and former BCS apologist and the guy who publicly said he didn’t vote for TCU to get into the stupid college playoffs Kirk Herbstreit will be riding around in a trolley called “the StreitCar” talking to random football fans in Fort Worth. In related news, TCU will be handing out purple knives to plant in his back.
The Party is Over, Frat Boys
Some local property owners are upset at what they feel is the zoning commission’s attempt to limit their ability to rent houses to people if at least one tenant is registered to vote in another state. The city says it’s not targeting college students, but the move to add the new language to ordinances comes just months after TCU Residential Overlay ordinance that curbs the so-called stealth dormitories, or large houses rented to college students.
Nothing Good Happens After Midnight
A man who was kidnapped at gunpoint was found safe this morning. Cale David Curtis was forced into a car at gunpoint around 4 am last night, on West Boyce Avenue near Hemphill Street. What he was doing out that late is a discussion that he and his mother will hopefully have today.
