As noted yesterday, over around Texas Wesleyan the TownSite Company has acquired most of downtown Polytechnic Heights and is in the process of restoring the buildings there. Here are some photos I took of the restoration progress over the weekend. Looks to be a cool project.
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.
I hope they keep the old blade signs.
Wow – great memories. I used to go to this Ashburn’s as a little girl. Can’t wait to see the finished product.
i was wondering why you did not take photos of the ONLY business in the area???? BURGE HARDWARE.
Paul,
I didn’t have a lot of time to get photos – it was sort of a quick run-through while I was on the way to another appointment on the east side. Was not intended as a slight at Burge. Just a quickie to show the work being done on the buildings.
I’m only one guy. Sometimes I miss things.
