Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Tuesday, March 25, 2025.
We're starting with some sobering news today. A tragic incident occurred on Lisbon Street over the weekend, resulting in two fatalities and one person in critical condition. Fort Worth police have arrested 24-year-old Garrett Orais on charges of capital murder. Our thoughts are with the affected families and the community.
In more positive developments, the far southwest side of Fort Worth continues to see rapid growth. The city council recently approved rezoning for new apartments off Chisholm Trail Parkway. Councilman Jared Williams tells us that multiple grocery stores, including a new Target, are in the works for the McPherson Boulevard area. This expansion aims to bring essential services closer to residents.
Speaking of city developments, today marks a significant milestone as the Fort Worth City Council holds its first official meeting in the new Council Chamber. The grand opening celebrates a modern, welcoming environment that promises to enhance collaboration and streamline services for our residents.
In sports news, congratulations to Fort Worth Boswell High School's girls' basketball team. They've captured the school's first state championship, bringing home Fort Worth's first title since 2007. It's a proud moment for our city's young athletes.
On the economic front, we're seeing exciting growth in our athletic events. The Professional Bull Riders World Finals is set to bring nearly two weeks of Western-themed entertainment to Fort Worth and Arlington from May 8 to 18. This event is expected to draw visitors from across the country, boosting our local economy.
For those planning their commute, be aware that there was a major crash on I-35 early Sunday morning. While the southbound lanes have since reopened, we urge drivers to remain cautious in the area.
Looking ahead to today's weather, we're expecting a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 77 degrees. It's a perfect day to enjoy some outdoor activities, but keep an eye on the forecast as there's a chance of thunderstorms later in the week.
In community news, the Fort Worth Botanic Garden is gearing up for an exciting new exhibit. Starting April 1, visitors can experience a pop art installation featuring 80 larger-than-life animal sculptures made from recycled plastic. It's a unique blend of art and environmental awareness that's sure to captivate visitors of all ages.
For our sports enthusiasts, mark your calendars for the USA Weightlifting National Championships, which will be returning to Fort Worth for the next three years. It's a testament to our city's growing reputation as a sports destination.
Lastly, a reminder for our aviation buffs: Runway DFW is hosting a live plane spotting event at DFW International Airport tonight, starting at 7:30 PM. It's a great opportunity to see some impressive aircraft and connect with fellow enthusiasts.
This has been Fort Worth Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
