Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind? It certainly crosses ours — especially when we’re cruisin’ down I-30 listening to The King of Country. So we thought we’d gather up some of ourfavorite Funkytown tunes + invite y’all to do the same.
We’ve made a collaborative playlist, where you can add your own go-to tracks and we’ll turn up the volume. Here are a few to get us started:
🎵 “Dallas Days and Fort Worth Nights” by Chris LeDoux
🎵 “Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind” by George Strait
Now we’re passing the aux cord over to you. Create a free Spotify account (if you don’t already have one), open the collaborative playlist, add it to your library, and add a song that makes you think of Cowtown.

Last week, there were not one, but two celebrity sightings in the 817. Did you see them? Emmy Rossum from “Phantom of the Opera” and “Shameless” stopped by Roy Hutchins BBQ in Trophy Club, while Sam Elliot from “1883" and “Landman” stopped by Joe T. Garcia’s. I guess it’s time to update our list of celebrity sightings.
