Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Saturday, March seventh.
We wake up today keeping an eye on the sky. CBS Texas and WFAA both tell us that the big storm system that spun off tornadoes in Oklahoma is sliding our way, bringing widespread rain and some thunderstorms across North Texas today, especially through midday and afternoon. That means we may want to plan around wet roads on I 35W, I 30, and Loop 820, and maybe move outdoor plans at Trinity Park or the Stockyards indoors. The severe threat looks lower than yesterday, but we stay weather aware as that cold front pushes through and cooler, drier air settles in tonight and into Sunday.
At City Hall, Fort Worth officials continue work on growth and infrastructure on our west and north sides, with staff focusing on road improvements and water and sewer capacity in fast growing areas around Walsh Ranch and along U S 287. These planning decisions affect how long we sit in traffic on Camp Bowie, Golden Triangle, and East Lancaster, and where new schools and grocery stores eventually land.
In the business world, the Dallas Business Journal reports that Fort Worth based Presidio Production Company has just gone public on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker F T W. That is a point of pride for our energy sector and signals steady white collar hiring downtown and along West Seventh for finance, accounting, and legal roles. Across the city, recruiters say hourly warehouse and logistics jobs remain strong around Alliance and Everman, with starting pay near the mid teens per hour.
On the housing front, local agents say the median home price in Fort Worth is sitting in the low three hundreds, with listings lingering a bit longer on the market than last year. That gives buyers a little more room to negotiate in neighborhoods like Wedgwood, Oakhurst, and around T C U, while rents for one bedrooms near West Seventh and Sundance Square are holding in the mid one thousands.
Culturally, our weekend is busy. Visit Fort Worth highlights live music tonight at the Stockyards, with shows at Billy Bobs and along Exchange Avenue, plus art exhibits continuing in the Cultural District at the Modern and the Kimbell. Downtown, Sundance Square is hosting free live music in the plaza this evening, weather permitting.
In schools, Fort Worth ISD high school basketball teams are wrapping up playoff runs, with several squads from the east and southwest sides advancing deeper than expected. Local elementary robotics clubs are also bringing home regional awards, giving our kids some well earned bragging rights.
On the crime front, Fort Worth police report a generally routine Friday night into Saturday, with a few vehicle burglaries around apartment complexes off Bryant Irvin and Beach Street, and one confirmed shooting on the east side under investigation. Officers emphasize locking cars, removing valuables, and reporting suspicious activity quickly.
For a feel good note, volunteers with local nonprofits spent the morning along the Trinity Trails near Panther Island picking up trash and planting trees, a small effort that makes our riverfront cleaner and cooler for all of us who walk, bike, and fish there.
