News Notes
Development
  • Local nonprofit Center for Transforming Lives broke ground on its new headquarters earlier this week. The $38 million expansion — on the northeast corner of East Berry Street and South Riverside Drive — is expected to open in November 2024. It will provide early childhood education, housing services, and economic mobility programming.
Coming Soon
  • A new barbecue restaurant specializing in ribs will open at 923 E. Seminary Dr. next month. Ribee’s — created by the award-winning pitmasters at Goldee’s — will sell five varieties of ribs including dry-rub, sweet, spicy, tangy, and a rotating rib sauce. (The Dallas Morning News)
Real Estate
  • Construction will begin this month on 300+ rental homes at Golden Triangle Boulevard and North Riverside Drive — 14 miles north of downtown. The Village at Golden Triangle will be built on 30 acres with one- to three-bedroom floor plans, private yards, a community pool, and a fitness center. (Multi-Housing News)
Plan Ahead
  • The Fort Worth Zoo’s annual Boo at the Zoo event will return Friday, Oct. 27-Sunday, Oct. 29 with trick-or-treating and themed entertainment. Guests can enter the pumpkin decorating contest by sending a picture of their pumpkin art by Friday, Oct. 20 at 10 a.m. to receive free tickets to the event.
Closed
  • Earlier this week, Sushi Nomi in far north Fort Worth closed its doors. In an online post, the restaurant said it will be closed until further notice. While it’s unclear why the restaurant closed and no official re-opening date has been announced, Yelp seems to think that it will open back up Friday, Dec. 1.
Seasonal
  • A Halloween-themed pop-up market will be held on Sunday, Oct. 29 at SoMa District Micro Park in the Near Southside. Dress up in your best costumes for trick-or-treating, local vendors, and delicious food trucks on Halloween weekend. The event will take place from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Ranked
  • Cutting Edge Haunted House reclaimed the title of the scariest haunted house in the nation according to USA Today. The 100-year-old meatpacking plant was lauded for its twisting corridors, live actors, and special effects. Explore three other local haunted houses.
Finance
  • One card, all the perks. A $200 welcome bonus, unlimited cash back, and 0% interest into 2025 (all with no annual fee) almost sounds too good to be true — but this card has it all.*

From the editor
When it comes to candles and glassware, the limit simply doesn’t exist. Those are just a few of the items I’ll be stuffing in some Boo Baskets this holiday season. I was also recently gifted these Fort Worth skyline glasses, and although I’m not a whiskey drinker, they make for some pretty adorable iced coffee cups, too.
