  • Résumé

  • Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Friday, February 21, 2025.

    We start with breaking news from Wise County, where a serious accident occurred yesterday evening. A train collided with a Honda Accord near Paradise, leaving one man with serious injuries. The incident happened at a private crossing on Texas 114 near Don’s AC Service, and the victim was airlifted to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth[4].

    In local government news, the Fort Worth City Council has made significant decisions affecting daily life. They have unanimously approved a resolution for the new plans for the Juneteenth Museum, which will be located at the Southside Community Center property. The city will contribute up to $15 million for the museum[1].

    On the job market front, the Dallas Fed has released its annual employment forecast, indicating a softer Texas job market in 2025. Economists expect about 225,000 new jobs to be added this year, slightly less than the 244,000 added in 2024. The forecast also notes that job growth in trade, transportation, leisure, hospitality, and government slowed notably last year[5].

    In real estate, there are updates on short-term rental lawsuits in both Dallas and Fort Worth. The Fort Worth case has been assigned to a new judge this week, highlighting ongoing legal battles over short-term rentals in the area[1].

    Culturally, we have exciting news from the TAPPS State Swim Championships. Local teams performed well, with FW Nolan Catholic Vikings securing third place in the Division I boys' competition. Notable individual performances include Colt Kipp from Fort Worth Christian, who placed second in the 500-yard Freestyle and 100-yard Backstroke events[3].

    In community news, downtown Bridgeport has received a historic designation, with Halsell Street being added to the National Register of Historic Places. This recognition marks a milestone in the city’s efforts to preserve its heritage and foster community revitalization[4].

    Looking ahead to the weekend, we have no significant weather alerts, but it's always a good idea to check the forecast before planning outdoor activities.

    In local school achievements, Fort Worth ISD has named Karen Molinar as its permanent superintendent, providing stability to the district[1].

    On the crime front, we have a report of a significant incident from the past 24 hours. However, we want to emphasize that public safety is a top priority, and we encourage everyone to stay vigilant.

    Finally, in a feel-good community story, we highlight the efforts of local museums. The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is in the news due to the seizure of photographs from an exhibit by photographer Sally Mann. Civil liberties groups have asked Fort Worth PD to return the photos, sparking a conversation about censorship and artistic freedom[1].

    This has been Fort Worth Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
