Fort Worth’s Cowtown Coliseum hosts rodeo showdown

Fort Worth’s historic Cowtown Coliseum is buzzing as the National Finals Breakaway Roping brings the top 15 ropers in the world right into the heart of the Stockyards. With a $300,000 purse and the world title on the line, every second counts—literally. Hali Williams is making waves with lightning-fast runs, but the leaderboard is tight, and local fans are loving the action. The move from Las Vegas to Fort Worth, prompted by a horse virus outbreak, has made this year’s event even more memorable. Who do you think will take home the gold buckle? #Sports #FortWorth #BreakawayRoping

Fort Worth’s TEXRail extension finally moving

After years of talk, the TEXRail extension from downtown Fort Worth to the Near Southside medical district is finally getting real, thanks to a $33 million contract greenlight. While there’s still about $20 million left to secure before full construction can start, crews are prepping for early work like track upgrades and new train storage. With ridership already climbing and new connections to DART’s Silver Line, this project could make commuting way smoother for locals. What changes do you hope to see with the new rail stretch? How might it impact your daily routine? #Transportation #FortWorth #TEXRail

Fort Worth’s winter storm: Protect your yard now

Single-digit temps are headed for Fort Worth, and your yard could take a real hit if you don’t act fast. Deep watering before the freeze helps plants survive, and frost cloth (not plastic!) can save your flowers—supplies are running low. Move potted plants to the garage or wrap them up, and mulch beds to slow the freeze. Disconnect hoses, cover faucets, and trim weak tree branches to prevent damage. Don’t forget pets and garden art—bring them inside! What’s your top tip for prepping your home and garden for this kind of Texas cold snap? #Home #FortWorth #WinterStorm

Big changes coming to Northwest ISD schools

Northwest ISD is redrawing its school boundaries, meaning many Fort Worth families will see their kids heading to new campuses starting fall 2026. With two brand-new schools opening—Dr. Leigh Anne Romer Elementary and Floyd Barksdale Middle—some neighborhoods are shifting to help ease crowding. While a handful of older students can apply to stay put, most will need to follow the new lines. If you’re in the district, keep an eye out for official notices and check the online School Finder to see if your street is affected. What do you think about the changes? Will this help or hurt your community? #Education #NorthwestISD #FortWorth

Fort Worth steps up for neighbors facing the freeze

As temperatures drop below freezing in Fort Worth, hundreds of volunteers hit the streets to connect with people experiencing homelessness—offering not just warm hats and hand warmers, but real conversations and support. Stories like Darren Richie’s remind us that homelessness can happen to anyone, and a little compassion goes a long way. The annual Point in Time Count isn’t just about numbers; it’s about seeing our neighbors, learning what they need, and breaking down stereotypes. What do you think our community can do to make a bigger impact, especially during harsh winter nights? #Safety #FortWorth #Homelessness

Fort Worth faces deep freeze: How gardens survive

Fort Worth’s Botanic Garden is in full defense mode as a deep freeze threatens over 100 acres of plants this weekend. Staff are hustling to cover sensitive blooms and winter greens with frost cloth, and even giving new plantings a big drink of water to protect their roots. It’s wild to think that sudden cold can stress plants so much that, in rare cases, trees can literally explode from expanding sap! While that’s unlikely here, the dramatic weather swings are a real challenge. Anyone else prepping their yard for the cold? Share your tips or worries below! #Home #FortWorth #DeepFreeze

Fort Worth study tests heart-saving implant

A new kind of heart implant being tested right here in Fort Worth could change how we protect people from sudden cardiac arrest. Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital is part of a global study tracking patients with extravascular ICDs—devices that monitor and shock the heart back to life if it stops. Unlike older versions, these new ICDs are implanted outside the heart and veins, which means less risk of infection. With over 350,000 cardiac arrests happening outside hospitals each year in the U.S., this could be a real game-changer. Would you consider an implant like this for yourself or a loved one? #Health #BodyHealth #FortWorth

Big changes ahead for I-35W commuters

Anyone who battles the daily grind on I-35W between Burleson and Fort Worth knows the frustration of bumper-to-bumper traffic. Relief could finally be on the horizon: TxDOT is moving forward with plans to widen and rework this notorious stretch. Options on the table include expanding to up to six lanes each way, adding express or reversible lanes, and even improving frontage roads with bike and pedestrian paths. Major fixes are also being considered for the worst interchanges. Local input is still crucial, so if you live or work nearby, your voice can help shape the future of this vital corridor. What changes would make your commute better? #Transportation #FortWorth #I35W
