Adventures in and Around Fort Worth

"YES!" Chris Kruger shouted from his seat in the Commercial Board of Adjustment meeting Wednesday morning. After an intense hour-long debate Aug. 3 at Fort Worth's City Hall, and months of pushing through red tape, the board gave 7 out of 9 votes (the minimum required) in favor of Fort Worth's first food park. But not without hesitation. After applicant Chris Kruger made his case,  a long series of concerns verbalized by the opposing side and the Board made things uneasy. Questions like:Where are people going to park? Should a park be set up in a chemical-heavy industrial neighborhood where large trucks move to and fro? Will the traffic disrupt the existing businesses? Is it safe for kids to be roaming the streets in this area? The three people opposing the food park all represented manufacturing companies in the area. "My first reaction was, 'what a neat concept.' My second reaction was, 'where is everyone going to park?'"
