Have a fun and safe holiday weekend!!

Did You Know?

I love Fort Worth! One of the best decisions I ever made was being born here a few years ago. Okay.....quite a few years ago. Sometimes I get a little wistful missing the Fort Worth I grew up in (like the soda shops and ice cream parlors....I was a kid, remember!), but there are some cool things happening here right now too.

Did you know that the cost of living in Fort Worth is lower than the national average? And that unemployment is also lower than the national average? I didn't know anything about the cost of living when I was a kid, but it sure makes a difference to me today!

Fort Worth is a safe place too. It is ninth on a list of the ten safest cities with a population over 500,000. And it is the ninth best city to live in and start a business, according to Forbes Small Business. I always did pretty well with a lemonade stand, and business is booming in real estate.

There's always something going on here. This weekend alone there are two fun events at Panther Pavilion located at 395 Purcey. Radfest MusicFestival is Friday, May 24, and the Backwoods Paddle Party is on Saturday, May 25. Radfest is a concert that showcases DFW artists, food trucks, local vendors and adult beverages. What more do you need? The Backwoods Paddle Party kicks off the summer paddling season with a bang......music, food, disc golf, demos, discounted rentals, and more!
