Took this in the Near Southside’s old warehouse district near Vickery. Lots of potential for redevelopment that hasn’t yet been taken full advantage of. I loved this old ad in the window of a (closed? abandoned? couldn’t quiet tell) plumbing fixtures store.
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.
That’s on Ferguson Supply, and it is very much still in operation. You must have been by on a weekend.
It was a weekday evening. Have never been by when the place was open, so I’ve never seen any signs of life there. Glad to know they’re open.
