After living in a 36 foot RV for three years, we have gone back to the "stix and brix" way of life. it is time for one of us to get a retirement income finished and have a life after work. We will be posting all there is that we find about living in this downtown area of Fort Worth, Texas.

Out and About in Downtown

Every city has these and its going to be forgotten decorations on the older buildings. As these age the time will come for some of them to be demolished. Its a shame to have them come down but we are a "throwaway" society that replaces the old with something newer.

Away up on top of this building is some very unique items that are very hard to see. The only way for us and you to be able to view them is by a zoom lens on a camera. Its an office building with unknown descriptions for the cast stone or concrete that was placed there so many years ago.


This is a larger view of the building showing the top five floors and the location of the items in the larger zoomed picture.

Hopefully some out there will appreciate this and what it meant to somebody when they paid their money to have them as apart of the building.

This is the Worthington Bank building located south of the east "free after 5 and on weekends" parking lot.


There is a park about 2 miles northwest of us and we have gone there twice to have a picnic in the park.

We remembered to take the camera the 2nd time and caught the local habitants at play. Neither of them were very close and we used our 10x zoom to get these closeups.

We watched them for a couple of hours and got more pictures but I am only posting these two on the blogg.



As you can see this one is very play full and had a good time. We enjoyed watching him/she go up and down the tree.

We took our fried chicken, fries, slaw and cold drinks for an afternoon out on a weekend to do something different.

i hope you enjoy these and they following pictures as i get them posted over the next days of our time as we are "out and about in downtown".

Hi Richard and Shirley; So glad to see you are going to continue blogging. We have spent a lot of time in the downtown Ft. Worth area and loved it. It is one of the "friendly" big city area. We liked the water park and especially enjoyed the western art galleries and museums.

Keep in touch.

I enjoy reading your blog Richard. Even though you and Shirley are not on the road, you still have interesting things to post about. I have never been to Ft. Worth, so I like reading about it.
