It's A Friday Roundup

Ah, Friday. Let’s see what’s happening elsewhere in the blogosphere:

At West & Clear, Steve’s got a weekend entertainment post, news that the S-T might start charging for online content, more bad news for the S-T as they announce looming staff cuts, and news of Rahr’s new Iron Thistle winning National Grand Champion at the 15th annual United States Beer Tasting Championships. Way to go, Rahr folks!

Pete finds an interesting post on the economy and asks does sustainability ever cross your mind?

Sonja talks about O. B. Macaroni and Fort Worth social media, has her own Fort Worth web roundup, writes a letter to college students everywhere, and makes her own statement about the sad condition of Heritage Park.

The Amon Carter Blog asks you to doodle for a cause, and mentions the winners of the kids’ art show at the Stock Show.

Food in Fort Worth reviews an Omni hotel in Washington, D. C.

Fort Worth Hole In The Wall classes itself up for a night at Zambrano’s.

The Modern Blog has a “Find Me” contest, finds a video of Vik Muniz at TED, and talks about the density of art (and not in a science class sort of way).

In non-Fort Worth-specific blogs, we’ve got:

The Transport Politic talks about the strong positive response to the call for high-speed rail design submissions made by Rep. John Mica (R-FL), Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City (I), and former transportation secretary Mary Peters.

Discovering Urbanism asks, what does density look like?

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.

    Thanks for the Rahr Beer/Omni tip. The wife and I will be partaking in the activities tonight. Sounds like a hoot.
