Fort Worth is exploding

[Herbie Hancock 7,489]

Sorry, I’m an angry and elf and on tapa. They’re out of just about everything that my kids will eat or snack on. Meat market and produce was fine, but everything else was a calamity. Coupled with the fact that 86% of people in there thought they were the only motherfuckers in the store and just moseyed around and loitered as such was the cherry on top of the turd sundae.

obliviots.  i have resigned to the fact that this is everyone else's world and i am merely a passenger on their ride.  some people are having a really shitty ride.

[Fudbelty 2,809]

If you went to the HEB in Hudson Oaks it’s been like that for weeks now. They aren’t able to keep shit on the shelves. Same with Wally World right down the road. It’s almost creepy how bad it’s getting.

[wild_turkey 3,296]

Central Marker is fine except for the people clogging up aisles part. Don’t go on a weekend.

How’s the Oktoberfest? Thinking about checking it out after work tomorrow

Piggybacking on this question, is Mayfest still a thing?

[Fudbelty 2,809]

Hasn’t been the last two years.

Hope y’all aren’t trying to drive 30 around Horne tonight

[shadow_operative2.0 16,255]

Speaking of that area, there's another hot chicken joint in that failed sub shop, but they also do hot seafood. Gonna hit it up soon.

Don't go downtown Saturday morning. The Aggies' pretend soldiers will be doing a pregame march around downtown. 

[Hank_Hill 19,991]

Do they know Fort Worth isn’t Arlington? Oktoberfest was cool for a Thursday night, can see it being an absolute clusterfuck Saturday.

I haven't confirmed it yet but I heard a Buffalo Wild Wings in going in close to the Tom Thumb on 7th.

If true, they continue to make the area as much like a soulless suburb as possible.

I don't think that B-dubs was one of the anchor tenants they had in mind when they build that development.  They must be desperate.

[JOSEYWALES66 1,853]

I wouldn't shock me if the person who told me this mixed up the name but he said it is a B Wild Wings and it is going in the corner spot directly behind the Tom Thumb.  There was a pizza plaze there for a couple of months when it originally opened but I think it has been vacant since then.

Checking in with west Camp Bowie....

Quote

Fort Worth police on Friday announced that three dismembered bodies were found in a burning dumpster on the city's west side on Wednesday.

The fire department responded to a report of a dumpster fire in the 3100 block of Bonnie Drive about 6:15 a.m. Wednesday and made the gruesome discovery, police said.

The bodies appear to be an unknown child, a young teenage or adult female, and an adult male.

The man was identified as 42-year-old David Lueras, known to frequent the Dallas area, and has ties to Hurst, Euless, and Bedford

man fuck that. 

[Herbie Hancock 7,489]

How cosmopolitan

[Fudbelty 2,809]

That’s a couple blocks from where SS grew up playing ball(I’m assuming he played at Western Hills). My kid plays soccer right there too.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,255]

I know the area very well. 80/Cherry Ln/Alta Mere, quite the triangle there.

Their website says BI is ‘temporarily closed for renovations’, but a buddy said there’s a bigass For Lease sign out front. 

The For Lease sign is closer to the street, must be for something else in the complex. Razzoo’s has banners on both sides of the restaurant saying ‘Temporarily closed, excuse the mess’. 

[Dr Fear 1,290]

3 people shot around last call time in west 7th last night. Anyone hear anything?

So who here has taken the train to Fair Park?

If so, what time do you leave?

[Herbie Hancock 7,489]

Done it every year for the last 6. We usually catch the early one. 6:55 or something like that. Should take slightly under an hour to get to AAC and then bus shuttle to fair park from AAC is 10-15 minutes depending on traffic

May I ask why you don't take the train to the Fair Grounds?

 

[Herbie Hancock 7,489]

It doesn’t go there. They stop at AAC and then you walk across the parking lot to a shit ton of DART buses and they drop you off at the front gate to the fair

[TornACL 7,792]

Take the first train, for sure. 

When you get to AAC, there will be like 8 busses lined up to take people to the fair. 

Every mouth breathing idiot will line up for the first bus in line. So if there's already a long line of people, skip the line and go straight to the second one and board. 

On the way back you can DART to Union Station and take the TRE back from there. If it's a long wait for the next train you can go into the Omni for a drink, but beware that hotel is always chock full of Sooners.

Taking my kids out on Friday night before the game.  Any suggestions on where to go?  Coming from Granbury.

What kind of food and cost are you looking for?

Last time someone started a thread before the TCU game, people that haven’t lived here in decades were recommending places that had been closed forever.

Kip’s Big Boy was a great recommendation.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,255]

The Italian joint on University was my favorite, can’t even remember the name it’s been gone for so long.

Looking more for fun for the kids and less on food.  One is 16 and the other is 10.  I was thinking Sundance but the Railhead should have some Longhorns there.  Where else?

Railhead will be WAY too packed on that Friday.

It's already happening this year. Someone on the TCU game week thread suggested downtown Fort Worth as a place to pregame before kickoff. 

Also, fuck Railhead.

[Hank_Hill 19,991]

As a recent transplant going to the game, where should I pregame?

[Herbie Hancock 7,489]

I’m pretty sure in that same portion of this thread someone threw out Billie Miner’s as well

Seriously, what was that Italian joint on University that the idiots recommended? 

[NOMAAA 1,700]

sardines?

[shadow_operative2.0 16,255]

Yes, that was it. Some idiot tried to tell people to go there two years ago. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,255]

1/4 mile from Colonial, yo. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,255]

Found it, this is fun.

That place opened when I was in high school.  If your date liked jazz and Italian it was pretty good.

I read that as jizz and Italian. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,255]

That’s fine, but don’t tell someone to go there when it’s been closed for 8 years like in that thread.

Any good anniversary dinner recommendations? Looking for a place for my parents, they always go to Reata but my mom was asking about if I knew any other places around. I don't know much at FW anymore so I figured I would ask here. Italian would be preferred but if you have other recs please let me know. Thanks,

There is the il Modo Italian place downtown at that new hotel, but I haven't been there.
