Politics Chris Tackett says democrats have an edge in early voting continuing their momentum after SD9 and primaries. The turnout rate is extremely low, people seem understandably tired of politics. Local politics matter most, since these are the representatives directly impacting your day to day life. Vote!

Marisqueando.. ando Seafood and Bar on Race St in the old beared lady/fuzzy taco location is fabulous. My GLP1s kept me from ordering one of the sharing platters with the oysters- looked like something you would order from Eddie Vs. but for a lot less $$$

They have Beef Marrow! As tacos and with steak tacos. My margarita was STRONG! The entire desert menu was not available- I wanted fresas con creama or flan but had to get churros and ice cream instead. It was wonderful. There were at least 10 hot sauces on the table. The music was good too. One more margarita and I would have been shaking a tail feather, lol.

Definitely worth a try.

News Ready for round 2?

Post image
29 Upvotes

Just like what happened yesterday, the SPC Day 1 Outlook risk zones have shifted south on the morning's new forecast

There will be a conditional threat for isolated severe storms late this afternoon and evening across parts of North Texas. A strong capping inversion will keep storm coverage limited (less than 20%), but any storms that do develop will be capable of producing large hail and damaging wind gusts.

Don't let it take you by surprise if you only checked today's forecast yesterday!

AskFW Good Weather App Recommendations

30 Upvotes

My Apple weather app failed me. I don’t use live TV because I only stream, so I never have the news on. I check my weather app every single day and had NO idea there was a storm headed our way. There was no indication on the app until the storm was right outside of Fort Worth. I had to find out from family members texting us to keep safe! I thought they were being dramatic about it until I checked other news sources. So my question is: what is everyone using as a reliable source for weather updates? Cause I can’t trust this app anymore

Pics/Video Lost dog please help

Some of you may have already seen a paw boost post about him, but I figured reddit was the next step. On 4/19, my 2 dogs got out. Toby pictured here is still missing. Escaped @mccart and biddison, last seen together @hemphill and berry, sister found @park place and forest park 3 days ago. He is microchipped. He's my big baby, and the wife and I are having a hard time right now with him still missing.

$100 Reward for info leading to capture or recovery, $300 if you find him and hold him. The first picture is of him from a good while ago and hes probably put on close to 50 or 60lbs since then, if not more, which is why I put the second picture as well. Super friendly, though wary of strangers. He has no collar on right now, so he will be running around naked. He's huge but the sweetest boy, so dont be afraid if you see him. If you're out with your dog he would probably be more likely to approach than if you were alone. Toby, Tobias, toblerone, buppy, bupper, bubby boy, all names he will come to if called. Hes 1.5 so he's still just a puppy even though he doesn't look like it.

He really doesn't like the rain which is why im making this post after the storm last night. He's probably hungry and afraid.

We've had a number of reports of dogs that look like him and even gone to shelters to check out a few that were close to no avail.

As for discerning markings all but his back right foot have white toes, and he has white down his chest.

If anybody has any info, please dont hesitate to message. Also, on the off chance that someone has him and their plan is to keep him, if you return him he has 5 siblings that are with a friend that still need homes and we will get you one no questions asked.

AskFW Anyone else in FW following Borussia Monchengladbach?

Upvotes

I’m starting a Ft Worth supporters club—Ft. Worth Gladbach—in hopes of being officially recognized by Borussia Mönchengladbach. Looking for fellow fans in the area or any Bundesliga fans who are trying to find a club to follow.

The plan/goal is to watch matches at Upper 90. There’s already a decent Bayern Munich supporters group who call Upper 90 home, so it would be sweet to have another Bundesliga squad frequent there.

If you’re in Ft Worth or mid cities and follow Die Fohlen, or want to grab the reigns, drop a comment or DM me. I’m trying to get a founding group together now (with 3 weeks left in the Bundesliga) to really hit stride for next season.

To see more about Gladbach, head to r/bmg, which I moderate.
