News Notes
Biz
  • The owners of Downtown Cowtown at the Isis said that they will no longer operate the theater. In an online post, owners Jeffrey Smith and Debbie Garrett-Smith thanked the community for its support over the last two years since they took over. There’s no word when or if the theater will reopen.
Announced
  • Earlier this week, the Fort Worth Public Library announced Midori Clark as the new director. Clark was previously the director of library and cultural services for the city of Aurora, Colorado. Clark will take over on Tuesday, Jan. 2, and replace Manya Shorr, who resigned in May.
Closing
  • Taco Heads — which Sarah Castillo started as a food truck in 2010 — was sold to chef Tim Love’s restaurant group. The Stockyards location will close Sunday, Dec. 31 and the restaurant near Dickies Arena will close Thursday, Feb. 29. It’s unclear what Love has planned for the restaurants. (Fort Worth Star-Telegram)
Transit
  • Take a train ride with Santa and Mrs. Claus to the Dallas Holiday Parade this Saturday, Dec. 2. The Trinity Railway Express is offering a special holiday ride from Fort Worth to EBJ Union Station in Dallas where larger-than-life floats will make their way through downtown.
Concert
Drink
  • Pinky’s up — Thompson’s Bookstore will host a formal holiday tea this Sunday, Dec. 3. “You, Me, and A Cup Of Tea” is open to all ages and includes fruit, pastries, macarons, tea, and a glass of champagne. Grab your tickets.
Watch
  • A new weekly, half-hour series on PBS called Texas Parks and Wildlife will explore the great outdoors and local legends, including the Lake Worth Goatman. Other episodes explore areas like Lake Corpus Christi, Prairie Dog Ranch, and Melton Ranch.
Ranked
  • No. 2. That’s what Fort Worth ranked as one of the worst cities for parking availability. Cowtown scored 1.27/10 for its lack of amenities and parking lots. However, the cost of parking is relatively low at just $75 per month for certain parking garages.
Finance
  • We aren’t given many 21-month grace periods. Oil checks, doctor appointments, Tax Day... time speeds by between them. But The Ascent found a credit card offering 0% intro APR on balance transfers for 21 months — among the longest we’ve seen to avoid interest charges. Learn more.*
Shop
  • Which ugly Christmas sweater would you choose? We’re liking: the Santa hat-topped wine glass or the “Home Alone” print featuring Catherine O’Hara.*

From the editor
The only form of self-care I really indulge in is getting my nails done, but sometimes I like to treat myself to a massage or facial. I have ClassPass — a price-conscious monthly membership — that I can use for workout classes, spas, and other self-care services. If you’re looking for a variety of fitness options and salons without paying an arm and leg, I highly recommend checking it out.
