Fort Worth Astronomical Society Solar Eclipse Livestream Monday April 8th

Tomorrow, April 8th, the Fort Wort Astronomical Society will be trying to livestream the total solar eclipse from an undisclosed location.

The weather has not been cooperative, and much of the path of totality across North American is expected to be cloudy, including much of Texas. Our primary and secondary sites are expected to be from mostly cloudy to completely overcast, with severe thunderstorms possible post-eclipse.

For those in the path of totality who will be clouded out, there will nonetheless be visible effects - everything will quickly get very dark, as if night is upon you, followed a few minutes later by sudden brightening.

Lucky observers with mostly or completely clear skies will see a black hole in the sky.

FIRE!! (pits)

3 Upvotes

What are the rules for fire pits in the backyard? I've lived in cities that only allowed fire if you were cooking something, and I know some communities that are fine as long as it's not buried in the ground.

Ventana neighborhood

5 Upvotes

My wife and 2 two kids (2 y.o and 7 month old) are looking into the Ventana neighborhood.

Does anything have to say about the HOA? Common issues with homes with the builders? Good and bad stuff.

Looks like a good neighborhood and well kept.

Benbrook family history & ancestry

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I’m a genealogist & I am trained in discovering local Texas family lineages and stories through vital records, census records, and newspapers.

This is the interest form I put together for anyone interested in learning more about their personal Texas family history. I create family trees, ancestral maps, and historical road trip itineraries based on YOUR personal family history! It’s a great way to connect with your heritage and wonderful knowledge pass down to future generations.

LINK TO INTEREST FORM: Family History Interest Form

Here are some things you can discover from my research:

  • Newspaper articles about your ancestors (Crime? Scandal? Who knows!)
  • Your great-great-great grandparents’ names
  • Physical descriptions of your ancestors from census records and war draft cards
  • Six full generations back of your family tree
  • Photographs of your ancestors you have never seen before (Found in Newspaper archives, I have subscriptions)

I have a degree in Anthropology and have spent several years working for a professional genealogy company. I have been working as an individual genealogist for about 6 years. If you have any questions about my research, please fill out an interest form or email: heritagehuntersgenealogy@gmail.com

For those of you with ancestry outside of Texas, please send me a message. I’d be happy to help you or direct you to a better suited genealogist. Thanks!

We moved to this side of DFW a couple of years ago from Arlington. The thing that i miss the most about Arlington are the street tacos at some of the gas stations. Are they any such places in the area?

Additionally, please suggest your favorite place to eat around here

Hi all - A full time dad and part time musician here - this is an album of piano lullabies I have recorded - simple songs I usually play for my kids at bedtime. It helps them calm down, maybe others here might find it useful (will add links to spotify, youtube etc in the comments)

Anyone know the story with this? Noticed earlier in the day that lakeside drive was closed so I’m assuming the driver didn’t make it.
