A Different Part of Fort Worth w/pics

The Berry Theater has a long history in Fort Worth but it's not clear how much of a future it may have.  Abandoned theaters can make the finest kind of rock bars.

All photographs by Yevette in the last few weeks while on VA runs.





Built during another time it was tough in America and this came from FDR's New Deal in 1930.  It's now almost ninety years later and it's not even showing that much wear although used quite heavily.





This is the Henderson Thing because no-one is really sure what it is, what it does, or if it has any meaning whatsoever.



Note:  possible drone trap as it sucks them into the bottom part where they can't find their way back out


Check Cashing Outfit



When you get away from the concrete and glass downtown.


Restaurant La Hacienda



Here is the real life where there are no rich businessmen who get million-dollar handouts and instead out here people work up from the ground.


Spanish is everywhere and this business looks like it had bigger money behind it.





Pedro's Tires isn't much different from any other city





Pollos Locos is a prime example of Texas crazy.


A legislator was arguing it must be renamed the Crazy Chicken because America speaks English, damn it.

It seems obvious most U.S. politicians are too lazy to consider multiple languages but the world pays little attention to such unidimensional thinking.



Meanwhile, the CCPD watches over all of it.



Fort Worth cops drive white cruisers so you know if there's a B&W behind then it's Dr Phil looking for a curbside shrink job to try to shake out of you an excuse to search the car.  They are not funded in the same way as normal city cops and represent what is possibly one of the most dangerous phenomena in America.  If there is money and they can make the faintest case it will be used for drugs, they can and will take it with almost no chance you will get it back.  For everything that's wrong with American law enforcement, you can find it in the CCPD.

The cops in the white cruisers are regular cops doing regular cop things but the CCPD cops are the ex-military steroids monkeys and they're extremely dangerous, heavily-armed, and nearly psychotic.
