Keep FW Funky

So in case y'all haven't noticed yet, Fort Worth is pretty awesome.  The energy in this city the last few years has made me so happy.  I knew Funkytown would gain popularity, I knew that... hey, it's why I'm here.  But the recent boom has been amazing! People are flocking here and with change happening quickly, it's important to focus on always keeping our roots... in Fort Worth's case, keepin' Fort Worth Funky!

We are unique because we are a small community with spectacular amenities right outside our doors.  We have cowboys and hipsters and we're dedicated to supporting our local businesses.  One of the best ways to do this is to search for groups that maintain relationships with small businesses.

Check out Keep Fort Worth Funky and consider getting your membership card!  You'll receive discounts to lots of local joints, discounts on merchandise and more!

I'm having an architectural moment here









I don't know what it is exactly about this old abandoned shop in Near Southside Fort Worth, but I'm utterly obsessed with it. Sometimes I just drive by and stare. Often I will purposely take a longer route to my destination, just to see it. What is it about this place?
I think it must be the red, white & blue. I find it almost poetic in a way... symbolic. A specialized trade, an ornate and unique skill... our red white & blue abandoned for modern mediocrity... a shop empty but not gone... a "be back" sign and a "no trespassing" sign in coexistence. Which is it? Be back soon or gone for good & don't walk this property.
I, for one, pray for the revival of the once great red, white & blue.
