Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker, who proposed an urban rail car system for the city, has said the Tarrant County route would be “an integral part of our transportation future” to benefit Fort Worth, now the nation’s 11th-largest city with more than 1 million residents.
The 12 projects include bike facilities along Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s nearly completed Silver Line commuter rail in Addison, which was awarded $7.7 million. Another $12 million will go toward the T.C. Rice Trail in Carrollton, connecting Denton County Transportation Authority’s Hebron Station to DART’s Frankford station in North Carrollton.
It was a tough night for MAGA-aligned candidates in Texas. In the May 3, 2025, local elections, voters across the state decisively rejected far-right candidates, particularly in school board and city council races. From Tarrant County to Collin County, and from San Antonio to Dallas, communities chose leaders who prioritize public education, inclusivity, and pragmatic governance over culture wars and partisan agendas. This widespread shift signals a growing resistance to extremist politics at the local level.
I haven't kept up much with this since moving, but I first read about Synagro and their biosolid fertilizer when it started causing problems in Johnson County, Texas.
From the story as written, it seems locals see this as a temporary win, knowing that Las Vegas Sands will keep trying to get a casino approved until they get what they want.
I will admit that I haven't been back to downtown Arlington since I graduated from UTA in 2014, and even then there was some movement on making downtown more dense, like the new library complex and some apartments, but this is nice to see.
I no longer live in the area, but I took DART every day when I lived in Dallas. I'm glad to hear about this reversal. I think DART needs more funding, not less, though I doubt it will get a substantial amount in this environment.
I never went to a game here, so I have no attachment. It is a shame that it couldn't be saved. Once (if....) Panther Island fills out, a local stadium would be a pretty cool amenity.
This looks to be self-produced and pretty amateur but it was so cool to me to see what a big influence Dallas and Dallas radio was to the rock scene in the past decades. From the start of KZEW (The Zoo), to Q102, to Freddy King’s career and the Vaughn brothers qrowing up in Oak Cliff. So many famous bars and clubs that aren’t around anymore featured. Every major label had an office in Dallas at the time.
I don’t really like Grandscape so that’s kind of a turn off. It looks cool for a sporting event but I’m sure tickets and concessions are $$$. I would go for a planetarium or nature show if it was reasonably priced.
Robert Morris, who founded and led Gateway Church for nearly 25 years in the affluent Dallas-Fort Worth suburb of Southlake, Texas, resigned after the scandal came to light in June. His exit sent thousands of evangelicals into a season of struggle that has lasted months.
Dallas Black Dance Theatre terminated its entire company of dancers Friday, according to a statement posted on social media by the labor union representing the dancers. A national organizer for the union confirmed Saturday that nine dancers were impacted.
