Was driving by downtown on I-35W and noticed some police cars on different access ramps then about 30s later got a public safety alert saying to avoid the area + I-35 is closed in that area. Anyone know what happened?

Hello everyone, here is a subreddit i created with info for the upcoming anti deportation protests and informationals, i had alot of people express they are not on other socials so decided to bring it to reddit to make getting the info out easier The protests that are being shared are by the following organizations: Tarrant Dems and Brown Berets DFW

Even the Republican parents are pissed to spend the money on private school for their daughters to get this lecture. This is what they’ll get even more of with vouchers.

With the growing likelihood that the Mavs will move to Vegas (especially after the terrible trade), DFW is in need of a new team, and will likely receive one of the new expansion teams since it is a big media market. The new team is unlikely to play at the AAC due to its age and will need a new arena. While Dallas and the suburbs would be in contention, Fort Worth is the best choice because it has a great downtown and space for a new basketball-centered development that can boost the economy of downtown and enhance fan experience. It is not a much longer drive from most suburbs than Downtown Dallas. It has public transit and plenty of parking.

How do I join the protests? I can't sit by and watch fascism and gestapo tactics.

I love taking my daughter up to alliance airport to watch airplanes but I was curious, are there any good spots at Meacham to watch planes and take picture? I’ve been up there a few times but never really found any good spots. Any advice or thoughts? Thanks!

I need some help with repairing/replacing some shelving in a closet.

Can anyone recommend a reliable handyman?

Thanks!

Coming to ft worth on a business trip in about a week. What are some good non touresty restaurants? I like mom and pop hole in the wall taverns and pubs. Nowhere bank breaking please lol.

Less than 20 votes decided the outcome in a runoff election in the city of Euless last spring.

In Grapevine Colleyville ISD, a well funded candidate backed by Patriot Mobile PAC - funded by the nation’s largest “Christian wireless carrier” saw its first defeat.

Another candidate came within hundreds of votes of also defeating the incumbent, who enjoyed support from the same crowd.

In Keller ISD, there are 3 seats up for election. All of the incumbents (as of now) will face challengers who are challenging the folks who have aligned themselves with voucher supporters and Christian Nationalism.

Mansfield’s mayor, a black man, faces a challenger that has made no attempt to distance themselves from the MAGA agenda.

Your vote in local elections is the most important in modern times. Google your city + elections / your school board. If you don’t know who represents you Google or call the Tarrant County elections office and they can tell you / help you out and tell you what districts and areas you are in.

The Fort Worth report and other websites that are local like the league of women voters will have info for you.

If you are a conservative: Vote. If you are an independent: Vote. If you are a liberal: Vote.

Is this a good gym to go to? I went by there the other day and saw the only parking is a garage - is it free to park? Thanks in advance

I made a discord for organized protests against fascism and community resources in the DFW area! This is entirely grassroots, and I'm no expert, but I think we can get a good thing going if we start really working together.

Looking into buying a home, in Fort Worth and surrounding areas would consider HOA’s but my preference is to avoid, but I know not all HOA’s are as bad as the stories on Reddit make them out to sound. Any recommendations/advice is welcomed.

Is there an express bus or train that can take someone from Fort Worth to Richardson? One of my friends has an internship in FW but is currently at UTD.

I know there are some DART express buses from Dallas but they go to Addison or Plano and I’m wondering if there’s one that goes to Fort Worth.

I checked the train and it takes over an hour of travel so I’m looking for something that would take a little less time like 45 minutes or so.

ICE has been spotted at and around La Gran Plaza/Seminary area. Please be aware, I'm hearing a lot of harassment complaints from citizens. Know your rights!

Not sure if this is allowed, but I wanted to post this bright spot I found in the face of what feels like overwhelming negativity. I couldn't find any information on this person, but apparently some kind individual is proposing paying off the Keller ISD lunch balance. I think this is admirable and worth highlighting as an example of the people out there trying to do something good. I'm sure this is a also a generous tax break, the merits of which are a whole other topic, but at the end of the day this means babies will eat without being guilted by the state for being poor, and if that's not what we're supposed to be working towards as a community then I don't want to be a part of it.

We just found out that some empty apartments near mine are being broken into, and they're flooding the units, which are leaking into ours. It looks like the leasing office is aware of the situation but has not done anything about it.

Weird Wednesday #39 is February 5 at Southside Preservation Hall. This month we're screening an R rated Romantic Comedy. More info at FWCinema.org

Howdy 🤠! Just wanted to stop in and drop a recommendation a friend told me about. It’s an ice cream shop where you basically make your own mix, then they freeze it with liquid nitrogen. I think it’s a new spot and y’all should check it out!!! They even offer frozen yogurt and vegan options!!! I must warn you, all the options are almost a bit overwhelming but it’s great.

I need to get a car that needs to be junked towed to a salvage yard next week. It's in SW Fort Worth. Any recommendations?

I'm just curious if anyone knows about this guy? What's his inspiration for doing this? We always make sure to wave back and give thumbs up. It's a slim black guy probably in late 30's to mid 40's.

I imagine living in these buildings must be so loud. So many new apartments going up on I-30.

I recently bought an all-black car and I’m wanting to avoid those dreaded swirl marks from standard car washes. I live in an apartment on the southside near Clearfork, so washing it myself at home isn’t really a great option. Does anyone have recommendations for car wash options that are gentle on the paint and won’t cause damage?
