Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Friday, November 29, 2024. We're starting off the day with a look at the Thanksgiving holiday schedules. Most City offices, including City Hall, are closed today and yesterday for the Thanksgiving holiday, but emergency services are available as usual[1].In local news, a Fort Worth family is mourning the loss of a husband and father of two who was found dead, with loud music being blamed for the tragic incident[4]. Additionally, a Dallas Police officer has pleaded guilty related to a demonstrator injury during 2020 protests, facing an uncertain future with the department[4].Moving on to the job market, there haven't been any major hiring announcements or notable business expansions in the past few days. However, Chevron Corporation recently announced that it would relocate its headquarters from San Ramon to Houston, Texas, before the end of the year, which could have broader implications for the Texas job market[2].In real estate, there haven't been any notable commercial or residential property sales reported in the last few days. However, it's worth noting that the city has been working on innovative approaches to provide deteriorated streets a second life, as seen with the successful implementation on Northern Cross Boulevard[1].From City Hall, residents are reminded that they will be allowed additional bags of trash following the Thanksgiving holiday, and through January 10, they can bring used fats, oils, and grease to the City for safe and convenient disposal[1].Weather-wise, it's going to be a chilly day with a freeze watch in effect. Winds will remain breezy, making it feel even cooler outside, with DFW forecasted to be 35 degrees but feeling more like 31 due to the windchill[2].In new business activity, while there haven't been any major openings or closings reported, it's worth mentioning that the Fort Worth Municipal Court is collecting personal items for the cold weather season, which will be donated to the Presbyterian Night Shelter and True Worth Place[1].Looking ahead to community events, ice skating in the stockyards is ongoing for seven weeks of family fun until January 5[1]. Additionally, join us for a weekly program that guides and prepares caretakers to send their child to Kindergarten ready for success on December 6[1].In local school achievements, Fort Worth ISD's North Side High School recently showcased the sounds of an American sport on the field meeting mariachi music in the stands, highlighting the diverse cultural experiences in our schools[2].For a feel-good community story, The Statler hotel in Dallas is continuing its tradition of saying "Thank you" to those who serve our country and community with a free meal for them and their families on Thanksgiving[2].In today's crime report, there have been several incidents in the past 24 hours, including a child taken to the hospital in critical condition after a shooting in Dallas' East Oak Cliff neighborhood[3]. Additionally, a suspected drunk driver led Sansom Park police officers on a slow-speed chase for several miles on Sunday morning[3].This has been Fort Worth Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
