Thanks for the kind words

Just wanted to give a shout-out to Francis Shivone at Food in Fort Worth for his kind words about my humble little bit of blog nerdery here:

Much of Fort Worth near downtown is in some form of new construction, planned construction or renovation. The biggees are: the Trinity River Vision just north of Fort Worth, downtown itself, and the most visible, 7th Street, just west of downtown.

Last Friday, FortWorthology website host, Kevin Buchanan, did a comprehensive review of all things downtown with photographs of everything to go along. Fort Worth has some good websites and blogs but I think Buchanan is doing the best job amongst us. Fort Worth Architecture has trimmed their site in the last few months and FortWorthology has filled the need for good photographs of renovations and new construction.

Really – thank you. I do what I can, and have always been thrilled that anybody else even reads this little corner of teh Intarwebz. The fact that people actually like it well enough to read it every day has always been very flattering. I’ve always subscribed to the (fairly tongue-in-cheek) philosophy laid out by a favorite writer of mine, James Lileks:

“Genius flames and dies, but amiable competence can live forever.”

Seriously, though, it’s very gratifying to have fans of your work, especially when it’s something so fairly niche and geektastic as mine. So, sincerely – thank you all for reading.

Responsible and thoughtful comments are welcome. Be aware, though, that this site exists in part as an advocacy site for New Urbanism and its potential to remake Fort Worth into an even more livable city than it is today. Thoughtful dissent is generally welcome insofar as it fosters thoughtful replies. Inflammatory dissent, whether intentional or not, will be deleted. Commenters whose comments we routinely delete will be banned. Nothing personal, but this is a privately owned and operated web site, and we are aiming for a specific tone and audience. Work within those guidelines and all will be well.

    Amiable competence, huh? I like that. Honestly, though, yours is one of the more interesting blogs in the DFW area. It looks like there’s a lot of exciting things happening in Fort Worth.
