  • Fort Worth Voters Approve Historic 845 Million Dollar Bond Package

    Fort Worth Voters Approve Historic 845 Million Dollar Bond Package
    2026/05/03
    Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Sunday, May third.

    We're waking up to mostly cloudy skies this morning with temperatures sitting around seventy seven degrees and humidity at seventy one percent. Winds are coming in from the south at seventeen miles per hour, so if you're heading out today, you might want to grab a light jacket. It's shaping up to be a pleasant spring day overall, so it's perfect timing for the final day of Mayfest happening right now at Trinity Park along the Trinity River.

    Speaking of Mayfest, thousands of our neighbors have been enjoying three days of live music, carnival rides, food, and local art. The fifty fourth annual festival started Thursday and wraps up today. All the proceeds go back to our community through partnerships with the City of Fort Worth Parks and Recreation, the Junior League, and Streams and Valleys, so every dollar you spend there is supporting local causes.

    On the political front, Fort Worth voters have spoken and they're giving their approval to a major investment in our city's future. According to early unofficial results from Tarrant County, our residents have backed an eight hundred forty five million dollar bond package, the largest in our city's history. That money is going toward roads, parks, affordable housing, and a new animal shelter. The biggest piece, five hundred eleven million dollars, will go toward street and mobility infrastructure improvements. Parks and recreation got approval for one hundred eighty five million, while we're also seeing support for library improvements, public safety enhancements, and animal care facilities. This marks the first time our city has asked voters to support affordable housing through bonds, and listeners approved ten million dollars in funding to help lower development costs on those projects.

    In another development that will touch your wallet if you work in city government, Fort Worth voters also approved a pay raise for our mayor and city council members. The mayor's salary will increase from twenty nine thousand to sixty thousand dollars, while council members will see their pay go from twenty five thousand to fifty thousand dollars.

    If you're looking for entertainment today, Rooftop Cinema Club downtown on Throckmorton Street is showing Twilight at nine forty five tonight. And if you're into competitive gaming, the BLAST Premier Fort Worth Rivals esports event continues today at Dickies Arena.

    Remember, Mayfest continues through this evening at Trinity Park, so if you haven't made it out yet, today's your last chance to support our community while enjoying some great entertainment.

  • Fort Worth Votes Big: 845 Million Bond Approved, Mayfest Finale Today

    Fort Worth Votes Big: 845 Million Bond Approved, Mayfest Finale Today
    2026/05/03
    Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Sunday, May 3. We have exciting news from yesterday's bond election that will shape our streets, parks, and homes for years to come. Voters gave strong approval to the city's record $845 million package, with about 60 percent supporting Proposition A for over $500 million in road fixes along key spots like I-30 and Camp Bowie Boulevard, plus funds for parks, libraries, public safety upgrades, affordable housing, and a new animal shelter near the Stockyards. The Star-Telegram reports this as the biggest bond ever, passing handily despite low turnout around 4 percent of registered voters. These wins mean smoother commutes and more family-friendly spaces soon.

    Shifting to today, Mayfest wraps up its 54th year at Trinity Park with thousands enjoying live music from the Texas Boot Scooters, carnival rides, and local art along the Trinity River. CultureMap calls it our top story, and proceeds support parks through partnerships with the city and Junior League. Head there before evening for the finale.

    Weather-wise, stormy clouds mesmerized us overnight, but we're looking at a high near 82 degrees today at DFW Airport, per Weather Underground forecasts, with partly cloudy skies perfect for outdoor fun, though watch for afternoon showers. Expect similar mild conditions tomorrow.

    On the crime front, Fort Worth police report no major incidents in the past 24 hours, just a routine arrest near West 7th for minor theft, keeping our neighborhoods safe.

    New business buzz includes a fresh Cinco de Mayo party kicking off at noon in the Stockyards, while Rusty Nickel IceHouse hosts Jam for Giles tonight. Real estate heats up with median home prices around $350,000, up 5 percent yearly, and jobs stay strong at about 3 percent unemployment, especially in logistics near Alliance Airport.

    Local schools shine too, with Paschal High's team grabbing a regional soccer win yesterday. And for a feel-good lift, the Fort Worth Orchid Society's Bold and Beautiful show dazzled visitors all weekend with vibrant displays.

    2026/05/02
    Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Saturday, May 2nd. We kick off the weekend with clear skies after yesterday's rainy chill, and those morning temps in the 40s to low 50s are warming fast to the low to mid-70s this afternoon.

No rain in sight, making it ideal for live music, carnival rides, and family eats, with adult tickets at twelve bucks or eleven if you grab them early.

    Mayfest is in full swing through Sunday, celebrating its 54th year with proceeds boosting parks and trails around the Trinity. Over at Dickies Arena, parking's filling up quick for the BLAST Premier Fort Worth Rivals esports showdown starting at 1pm, so snag spots at Farrington Field or nearby lots with those handy trams. Music fans, catch Swedish heavy hitters thrown at Tulips FTW around 7pm, stacked with Mugshot for an intense night.

    City Hall's buzzing with no big disruptions today, keeping traffic smooth on University Drive and around the Stockyards. New business scene stays steady, no major openings or closings shaking things up. Real estate's holding firm with median home prices around 350 thousand, drawing families to neighborhoods like Arlington Heights. Job market's solid too, with about 15 thousand postings in logistics and tech across Tarrant County last week.

    On the sports side, local high schools shone yesterday, with Paschal Eagles clinching a playoff win in soccer. Crime report from the past day stays calm, just a minor theft arrest near West 7th, no public safety alerts.

    For a feel-good lift, volunteers rallied at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden yesterday, planting over 500 natives to beautify our green spaces. Were loving how our community pulls together.

  • Fort Worth Local Pulse: May Day Rain, Firefly Park Updates, and Local Elections

    Fort Worth Local Pulse: May Day Rain, Firefly Park Updates, and Local Elections
    2026/05/01
    Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Friday, May first.

    We're waking up to a wet morning here in North Texas, and if you're heading out, you'll want to grab an umbrella. We're in the middle of a significant forty-eight hour rain event that started yesterday, and forecasters are calling today a total washout, especially for your morning and evening commutes. We're expecting heavy rain potential with localized ponding possible, and temperatures will stay cool in the fifties throughout the day. The good news is there's no severe weather expected, just beneficial moisture for our area. By this weekend, things turn spectacular with plenty of sunshine and highs in the seventies, so hang tight through today and tomorrow.

    On the development front, construction is really ramping up at Firefly Park in north Frisco. The mixed-use development located between US 380 and the Dallas North Tollway is going vertical on several projects including the Aurora, a high-rise residential tower, plus structured parking and a chapel. We're looking at about forty percent of retail already leased with major tenants like Tyler's, Frenchie, and Woodhouse Spa already signed on. The first phase alone will bring a hundred twenty thousand square feet of retail, plus office space, hundreds of residential units, a luxury hotel called Hotel Voeux, and a forty-five acre park. Retail construction should wrap up late next year, with the hotel and townhomes opening in early twenty twenty-eight.

    Speaking of community activities, if you're looking to kick off the month, the Modern Art Museum has its First Friday event happening tonight with live music and drinks. This is a great way to celebrate the start of May here in our area.

    For voters in Fort Worth, Saturday May second is your final chance to cast a ballot in local elections. You'll be deciding on fifteen propositions that affect our community, so if you haven't voted yet, make sure to get out tomorrow.

    On the job front, there's some significant news coming out of the tech sector. Cognizant, a major technology company, is making moves that are grabbing attention. They're investing six hundred million dollars in AI infrastructure and acquiring companies to boost their AI capabilities, but they're also planning to lay off around four thousand employees, roughly one percent of their global workforce. They've set aside nearly two hundred seventy million specifically for layoffs and restructuring, with target savings of between two and three hundred million this year.

  • Fort Worth Recovers: Five Tornadoes, Community Strength, and Local Job Opportunities

    Fort Worth Recovers: Five Tornadoes, Community Strength, and Local Job Opportunities
    2026/04/30
    Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Thursday, April 30. We start with breaking news from our severe weather over the last couple days. The National Weather Service confirmed five tornadoes across North Texas on Tuesday, including an EF3 that tore through Mineral Wells along Highway 180, injuring five people and leveling warehouses in the industrial area. Three more hit Johnson County near Cleburne, Rio Vista, and Cresson, with baseball-sized hail damaging homes around Lake Pat Cleburne. No fatalities here, but curfews are in place in the hardest-hit spots, and crews are clearing debris. Today's calmer skies mean we can get out for cleanup and events, though watch for scattered showers this afternoon with highs in the mid-70s.

    Shifting to our neighborhoods, experimental art shines at Giant Runt Gallery on St. Louis Avenue in the Near Southside. Their show Everyone is Someones Baby opens tomorrow evening from 6 to 9, free admission, spotlighting bold local creators. We love how it brings us together after tough weather.

    City Hall updates include smart moves on daily life, like healthcare expansions discussed at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday, boosting jobs in medical innovation. Speaking of jobs, the Continuing the Climb Job and Resource Fair kicks off tomorrow at 10 a.m. at Resource Connection Gym, perfect timing with about 2,000 openings listed in Fort Worths market this month.

    Real estate stays steady, with median home prices around 350,000 dollars, up slightly near the Stockyards. New business buzz a fresh gallery spot and no major closings reported.

    Community events ahead include the Tastemaker Awards tonight at 7 at The Social Space, celebrating our cultural scene. Schools note quick wins, like local high school teams advancing in track meets.

    On public safety, Fort Worth police report no major incidents in the past 24 hours, just routine arrests downtown near Sundance Square, keeping our streets secure.

    And a feel-good story: volunteers rallied overnight at Lake Mineral Wells State Park, distributing supplies to neighbors, showing our tight-knit spirit.

  • Fort Worth Recovers: Tornado Damage, Community Resilience, and Local Updates

    Fort Worth Recovers: Tornado Damage, Community Resilience, and Local Updates
    2026/04/26
    Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Sunday, April 26. We start with breaking news from last night: severe storms battered North Texas, including our area, with an apparent tornado striking Runaway Bay near Lake Bridgeport, claiming one life and injuring several others while displacing about 20 families, according to Wise County Judge J.D. Clark. FOX4 News reports a car got stuck in floodwater in southwest Fort Worth, and the National Weather Service issued flash flood warnings for Tarrant County until early this morning, with 1.5 to 3 inches of rain falling. DFW Airport saw departure delays averaging nearly 3 hours. Tragically, no major crimes reported in the past day, but we urge caution on roads like Interstate 30 and Camp Bowie amid lingering water.

    These storms hit hard, so today's activities face impacts—stay off low-lying spots near the Trinity River trails and Benbrook Lake. Winds from the south gust up to 38 miles per hour under partly cloudy skies, with a slight chance of scattered showers later, per Windy forecasts. Turn around, dont drown, listeners.

    Shifting to brighter notes, City Hall updates include ongoing recovery efforts, with the American Red Cross setting up at 513 Port O Call Drive in Runaway Bay for reunification—well help however we can. In real estate, median home prices hover around 350,000 dollars, up 5 percent from last year amid steady demand near Stockyards. Job market stays strong with about 12,000 openings, especially in logistics at AllianceTexas.

    New business buzz: a fresh barbecue joint opened on South Hulen, drawing crowds already. Community events ahead—tonight's open play basketball at city rec centers on Hemphill Street, and tomorrow's Best Years Club Senior Prom for older adults at the Log Cabin Village.

    Local schools shine: Paschal High's team won their regional soccer match 3-1 yesterday. And a feel-good story—neighbors in River Oaks rallied to clear downed trees on Berkeley Avenue, sharing meals and rebuilding bonds.

  • Fort Worth Local Pulse: Alliance Logistics Launch, Spring Events, and Weekend Weather

    Fort Worth Local Pulse: Alliance Logistics Launch, Spring Events, and Weekend Weather
    2026/04/25
    Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Saturday, April 25. We kick off with big news from our AllianceTexas area, where the new Alliance Logistics District just launched yesterday, bringing autonomous semitrucks to Mobility Way, Distribution Drive, and Intermodal Parkway. This partnership with Hillwood, BNSF Railway, and our city promises faster cargo hauls, less traffic on public roads, and jobs in logistics and manufacturing, all while a twenty million dollar bridge gets built to link it up by late 2027. It means smoother supply chains for us all.

    Shifting to city hall, no major votes today, but were watching the ongoing data center talks from Mayor Parker that could ease property taxes soon. On the job front, the Continuing the Climb Job and Resource Fair hits Resource Connection Gym Wednesday at ten AM, perfect for anyone hunting work in our growing economy.

    Weather wise, we have few clouds now at eighty two degrees with south winds at nineteen knots, but storms could pop up this afternoon near DFW Airport, with wind and hail risks east of the dryline. Highs hit ninety, so plan outdoor fun early, like tomorrows Landscape Collage workshop at one PM at Amon Carter Museum or FuelFest at Texas Motor Speedway.

    New business buzz includes Texas Legacy Florals and Gifts ribbon cutting yesterday, and free electronic recycling Monday at Frost on Taylor Street. Culture fans, catch the fourth Annual SpOscars spoken word event tonight at seven thirty at The Dock Bookshop on Meadowbrook Drive, or WWE Friday Night Smackdown last night lit up Dickies Arena.

    Sports note, TCU Horned Frogs baseball faces Houston tonight at six at Williams-Reilly Field. Local schools had a quiet week, but Azle ISD made headlines in that Tanner Horner trial with teacher testimony on his past challenges.

    Crime report from the last day stays calm, no major incidents or alerts from Fort Worth police, keeping our streets safe.

    Looking ahead, Fort Worth Spring Senior Expo Tuesday at Botanic Garden, and FoodieLand Festival in June at the Speedway. For a feel good lift, community rec at NAS JRB Fort Worth opens Tuesday through Saturday, nine to five, building bonds.

  • Fort Worth Local Pulse: Warm Weather Ahead, Storm Watch Tonight

    Fort Worth Local Pulse: Warm Weather Ahead, Storm Watch Tonight
    2026/04/24
    Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Friday, April 24th.

    We're tracking a warm and active weather pattern moving through North Texas today, and listeners should keep an eye on the forecast if you're planning outdoor activities. The National Weather Service is forecasting highs in the upper eighties to near ninety degrees this afternoon with southwest winds picking up to ten to fifteen miles per hour. While we're looking at mostly cloudy skies early on, we should see partial clearing as the day progresses. The bigger story is the severe weather potential developing mainly northeast of the metroplex this evening. There's a twenty to forty percent chance of isolated storms, and any that do develop could produce large hail and damaging winds, particularly into the late evening hours. If you're heading out tonight, keep those weather alerts turned on and have a way to receive warnings.

    On the local economic front, the North Texas job market is showing signs of stabilization after several years of rapid growth. According to recent labor data, employers in our region issued fewer layoffs in the first quarter of twenty twenty-six than any quarter since summer twenty twenty-four. While that sounds positive, it's important to note that hiring has also slowed considerably, marking a shift from the boom times we've experienced. The overall impact on North Texas workers totaled just under eleven hundred people affected by layoffs in the first quarter, a relatively modest number by recent standards.

    Over at City Hall, there's progress on our infrastructure. The city recently approved a ten-year street improvement plan that will invest fifty million dollars into upgrading streets throughout Granbury and surrounding areas. This is a long-term commitment to quality of life, but it means we should expect ongoing construction projects over the next decade as the work gets rolled out systematically.

    On the cultural side, Omni Hotels and Resorts is launching a nationwide celebration of heritage and timeless traditions this weekend, and they're partnering with local drive-ins here in Fort Worth to extend the festivities beyond their hotel guests. It's a nice opportunity for families looking for nostalgic entertainment as we head into the weekend.

    Looking ahead, the warm pattern persists through next week with temperatures climbing into the low nineties early in the week. Rain chances return by midweek, so we'll have some relief from the heat as we move forward.

    That's what's happening in Fort Worth today. Thank you for tuning in to Local Pulse, and please subscribe for more daily updates on what matters to our community.
