The reborn Pulido’s Kitchen & Cantina restaurants will remodel a former Western wear store in Willow Park into a new Pulido’s, co-owner Bourke Harvey said.

The shop at 104 S. Ranch House Road was recently a location of the Lazy J Ranch Wear shops and had previously been home to other Western wear shops, a tractor dealer and an RV dealership.

Pulido’s, founded in 1967 in Fort Worth by Dionicia and Pedro Pulido to feed his railyard co-workers, was sold last year to Westland Restaurant Group. Westland remodeled and reopened the original location at 2900 Pulido St. 

Westland also owns JD’s Hamburgers, West Side Cafe and Curly’s Frozen Custard along with a second Pulido’s, 1224 Precinct Line Road, Hurst.

The company has also announced plans to reopen Margie’s Italian Gardens, 9805 Camp Bowie West Blvd., and to open La Iglesia, an upscale interior Mexico restaurant at 3420 Longvue Ave., along with a bar and grill, Fuel Stop 80, at 9813 Camp Bowie West Blvd. 

The company did not keep former Pulido’s properties near Benbrook and in Cleburne. 

The restaurant at 5051 Benbrook Highway has reopened as Don Melquias, joining locations in Acton and Joshua.

Margie's is taking goddamn forever. 

 

I'm hitting Don Melquias next week for lunch, will report back.

Rex’s Bar & Grill, a sports grill and hangout from the owner of Ol’ South Pancake House, will open any day at 1501 S. University Drive. 


Drive by there twice every weekday, construction work didn't really start until August. They did build a big patio in the back, I will post a picture next week. They also must have a high opinion of their food, there is a dedicated To-Go entrance.

Watching the Cover 3 Podcast on YouTube right now and they're interviewing Tim Love at Tannehill's in the stockyards. He seems more likeable in this kind of format.

I never even see anyone working on Margie’s and drive by there several times a week.
I think he’s somewhere out here Aledo way. He attends church at Christ Chapel off 20 and Mikus.

This…heard he has something with some land in Parker County.

Whitey was two years older at Hills, he turned out a little better. 

was sitting at the Crescent Wrench couple weeks ago in Cresson,  some guy, last name Meadows came in and told us all about it... over and over and over.   sounds like its gonna be great place though.

Nearby, the Bottled Blonde bar closed, going the way of another alcohol-driven alliteration, Concrete Cowboy. 
Anyone ever step foot in either? 

We stepped into CC one night when I had a babysitter and a hotel room downtown. I can’t imagine a douchier scene with the exception of Koe’s riot room. It was as if Varsity and Landmark bred with a chick from Azle.

Haven't been in quite awhile, but they also used to run everyone out around 1:40 am. That shit ain't cool. 

9 ultras and 2 fireballs for 25 bucks is really cool

Pearl Snap is closing. They had a really good breakfast combo where you could pick everything you wanted before the menu changed that I really liked and was affordable. Afterwards they had like $17 plates of French toast. Never really had regular lunch there.

Who heard of this joint? Looks like it started in Austin, now inside the comedy club on the Main St side of the long-gone Fox.

Got one good rec, but he’s a big skatehead. 

$21 for a burger and fries. I'll let a few more people try it before I decide to take the plunge. I does look good though.

somebody earlier on here said they’d print money and I was kinda wait and see… but holy shit their soft opening has been line out the door daily along with a cop directing drive thru back up. 
 

looking at the menu, I don’t get it at all. I also lived 2 blocks from the lowest Greenville location and never saw a line (and never went myself). Generally busy/populated but not packed.

I was at Edwin Watts on Thursday. Line was only about 5 deep outside the door. I guess I should've went. The guys at Edwin Watts said they've been receiving free samples for awhile now. Said the vanilla latte tasted like someone putting french toast into a blender. Very sweet.

Random note… Fuego Burger on 377 just south of the circle, damn good and consistently damn good both with menu wide quality and across multiple visits.

FWISD is currently having a board meeting with a consultant presenting consolidation options, one of the suggestions is folding North Hi-Mount into South Hi-Mount Mount.

Buddy just sent a screenshot of one of the news stations saying good ol’ Western Hills may be done soon. Shucks. 
It's mostly elementary schools and a few middle schools. I'll post the ST story tomorrow. Western Hills Primary was one of the elementaries on the block.

You know damn well I can read the Startle-gram. 
Lol, I didn't see that slide. They were talking a bunch about a new 2000 student Benbrook High School that maybe would take WH kids?

Good lord that would be so perfectly Fort Worth for them to close Stripling MS just as a massive reconstruction comes down the home stretch, paid for by the ‘21 bond package. On par with the library dropping insane cash on a music CD collection ~5 yrs ago. 
 

This city’s leadership is so incredibly dumb, gullible, or on the take. Maybe all 3.

That's not going to happen to Stripling. My wife is the architect on the new building/renovation (she did Paschal before this). I have no inside info, but my wife pointed out that Stripling now has several dedicated science rooms, a band hall among other things that are completely inappropriate for an elementary school or pretty much anything besides maybe a very small high school. Even FWISD wouldn't just walk away from all the bond money being spent there. Also, that pla presented last night is pretty dependent on some new money (most likely the form of a new medium sized bond) to add classrooms, etc. to the existing schools taking on students from the closed schools (maybe they can use some of the unspent 2021 bond money?). That's even a harder sell if they are viewed as wasting the existing bond money.

Good intel and I saw that on the stripling construction page, all the speciality additions. $60M price tag expected, about 50% complete per that site. 
 

After seeing what they’ve allowed downtown to turn into along with panther island boondoggle, I’ll never say never with this city. This is not to mention how bad they shit the bed on attracting corp relocations as every other part of dfw exploded with job growth (distribution centers ain’t gonna cut it)
 

also, the library cd purchase was $600k to be spent from 2017 to 2019.

Damn that’s wild seeing both dezavala and daggett on closure watch, that’s essentially all of fairmount and Ryan place wiped out. Surely they would just be consolidated into one

How long ago did that Church’s by Z Boaz close? That son of a bitch was there forever. 

I used to drive by there all the time when I worked out there a few years ago, I swear they used a piece of plywood on a hinge for a door for almost a year after I guess someone broke the glass in the door.  It was secured with a latch and a padlock.

Depending on where the new Benbrook school goes that would suck for the families off Chapel Creek and in Lost Creek.

Back behind that church that’s across the street from Westpark 

So a little southwest of the baseball fields.
