Just like Jon Bon Jovi, we’re halfway there. Woah.

At noon on Wednesday, July 2, we’ll be at the exact midpoint between the start and end of 2025. And that got us thinking: How can we make the second 182.5 days better than the first?

  • Make friends | Whether you’re a born-and-bred Fort Worthian or a transplant to our beautiful city, there are plenty of ways to make friends here. Our guide offers classes and clubs for bookworms, volunteers, aspiring chefs, artists, and sneakerheads.
  • Get active | Speaking of sneakers, Fort Worth’s Ampersand hosts Ampersand Run Club every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday, which could be the perfect challenge for the latter half of 2025. If running isn’t your thing, there are 30+ gyms in our city.
  • Explore your city | Last but certainly not least, we all love finding a new spot around town to refresh our routine + add some variation to our weekends. Luckily for you, our Restaurant Roundup is updated monthly with the buzziest new eateries in FTW.
