Missed a few civic headlines the past few weeks? We got you.
A Spanish-style estate sits on nearly 10 acres in Southlake, blending luxury and wide-open space. Inside: soaring ceilings, a chef’s kitchen with Taj Mahal quartzite, and a private elevator. Outside: a resort-style pool, fountains, an outdoor kitchen, and even a carriage house for guests.
Announced
The Dallas Cowboys will continue to touch down at Arlington’s AT&T Stadium until 2055, at least. The city is finalizing a lease extension for “America’s Team” — locking down 29 more years of football at Jerry World. (Fort Worth Star-Telegram)
Feel Good
DFW Birthday Parades is a volunteer-led group that organizes drive-by parades for people in need of a celebration at home. Their guests of honor can range from kids with illnesses to older adults. Earlier this month, they celebrated a Navy veteran turning 100. (Fort Worth Report)
Outdoors
Grab your phone and get outside. DFW is participating in this year’s City Nature Challenge, a global bioblitz kicking off this Friday, April 24. Locals can join in by snapping photos of wild plants and animals, then uploading their observations to help document biodiversity.
Ranked
Texas clocked in at No. 21 on a new WalletHub ranking of the best states for working from home. The report weighed factors like internet costs, home size, and cybersecurity, but we’d argue there’s one more metric that matters: great outdoor work spots. Luckily, Fort Worth delivers.
Sports
Don’t get yourself in a pickle this National Pickleball Month without a place to play. Whether you’re new to the sport or chasing your next open play session, head to one (or all) of these Panther City spots.
The Word

I didn’t know much about her breed, or how to best care for her. Thanks to Embark’s Breed + Health Dog DNA Test, that’s all changed. I’ve learned Meredith is a mix of American Pit Bull, Australian Cattle Dog, Dalmatian, and that she may be at higher risk for Intervertebral Disc Disease. Now I can take proactive steps to support her health — like keeping her on a balanced diet and opting for a harness over a collar to help reduce strain on her spine.
Try Embark for your dog, discover their unique DNA, and give them the best possible care.
Do you have a favorite memory at the Fort Worth Convention Center (FWCC) arena?

Last week, we discussed the upcoming demolition of the FWCC arena. We invited readers to tell us their favorite memories of the venue, and submissions came pouring in. There’s still time to submit yours for a chance at being featured in our newsletter.
That’s a wrap on one of my favorite events of the year, the Fort Worth Food + Wine Festival. I made it out to the sold-out night one: Tacos + Tequila. My favorite was the duck carnitas street taco from Mi Dia From Scratch. Try it the next time you go to Grapevine and tell me what you think.
