Fort Worth City Manager & Billionaire With A Purse Puppy's Bad Bar Behavior

UPDATE: We did not realize we had previously made mention of the bad behavior of Sasha Bass, til a couple days ago, when we saw that this particular blog post from way back on November 21, 2021, was getting thousands of page views. In Spring of 2022 we have blogged about the Sasha Bass troubles in  Upcoming High Noon Shootout Between Sundance Sasha & Reata Micallef and in Time To Worry About Sundance Sasha With Lady Whistleworth.

A couple days I learned of an interesting incident that happened in Fort Worth involving Fort Worth's City Manager, David Cooke and Fort Worth billionaire, Sasha Bass and her purse puppy.

A bartender named Kimberly working in Fort Worth's Hotel Dryce was not happy with the behavior of Fort Worth's City Manager and that local billionaire with the purse puppy. 

Apparently Kimberly emailed Fort Worth Weekly regarding her experience with these overly self-entitled Fort Worth minions. I do not know if Fort Weekly published Kimberly's email on their hard copy edition. But I do know Fort Worth Weekly published Kimberly's email on their online version.

By the time I clicked on the link to the Fort Worth Weekly printing of Kimberly's email it had been removed, resulting in a no page found error. It was suggested in the subsequent Facebook discussion that Fort Worth Weekly took down the email after being threatened with a lawsuit.

Fort Worth Weekly meekly taking down an email after being threatened with a lawsuit seems highly unlikely to me.

Someone managed to save Kimberly's email and posted it in pieces on Facebook. That person made the following comment...

"Please read. Please share. This story has thus far been suppressed by one local newspaper. Fort Worth City Manager David Cooke, billionaire Sasha Bass and entourage. Jonathan Morris is the proprietor of Hotel Dryce. It’s been going around on Twitter but not so much on Facebook due to lack of a press URL."

I took the email pieces and turned them into one piece, which is what you can read below...

Wichita Falls Troubled Bridge Over Peacefull Water Nearly Restored

On this latest day of my ongoing daily, seemingly apparent, recreation of the Groundhog Day movie, where it almost seems as if I live a version of the same day, over and over again, with some days there seeming to be some slight difference.

Or improvement.

On this first Thursday of the 2022 version of April, it was back to Lucy Park for some high wind communing with nature via fast walking for a few dozen minutes.

A change today at Lucy Park was seeing that the rehabilitation of the Lucy Park Suspension Bridge bridge deck is completed. Awaiting the installation of new side guards to keep bridge walkers from falling into the roiling waters of the Wichita River.

This extensive restoration of this major crossing of the Wichita River is taking place over actual water.

In Wichita Falls we do not wait for the river to go dry to do anything bridge-wise, you know, to imaginarily save time and money, like some other Texas towns, well, one Texas town, is known to do.

You can see above that the Lucy Park forest floor is getting ever more green, day by day. Soon one will not be able to see through the forest of trees.

Time is flying by so fast. April will be gone in an eye blink. Then May. Then the arrival of Summer.

A few months ago I was just about 100% I would be heading northwest this Summer, to return to Washington for the first time since Summer of 2017.  There was a reunion I felt sort of like attending, but that seems to have morphed into something I can't see the point of going to the bother of attending.

I may change my mind, which I have a tendency to do. Of late I am thinking if I am going to subject myself to being on a plane I would like the destination to be some place tropical. 

I hear good things about Bora Bora. And Singapore...

Rain Brings Color Cacophony To Lucy Park With Locked Suspension Bridge

Yesterday, the first Tuesday of the 2022 version of April, saw the outer world, at my location, heated to hotter than Death Valley.

95 degrees.

Midday Tuesday, I drove in air-conditioned comfort to Lucy Park to commune with nature. Monday's storming left the outer world a bit damp and muddy. With the big infusion of incoming water causing a lot of foliage sprouting. 

Including that cacophony of wildflower color you see above, in the aforementioned Lucy Park. In the background, behind that line of skinny trees, is the Wichita River, flowing with increased water due to Monday's excessive sky drippage.

The Wichita River running high did not explain what I found next on my walk with nature yesterday.

A locked gate blocked access to the Lucy Park suspension bridge across the Wichita River. 

Why? I wondered. And soon found out. 

Though direct access was blocked by a locked gate, it was rather easy to walk around the obstruction.

In the above look at the view from the other side you can see how easy it was to walk around the locked gate, and then turn around and see why the bridge is closed.

The Lucy Park suspension bridge appears to be in rehabilitation mode. The fencing which previously prevented one from falling off the bridge has been removed, leaving only the cables which hold up the suspended bridge deck. 

At the far end I could see a large section of bridge deck has been replaced. Something I have long thought has been needed. I am assuming this replacement will continue til the entire bridge deck is refurbished, with new guard rail fencing installed. 

All of which will be a major upgrade to one of Lucy Park's main attractions.

Today is scheduled to be another HOT day. I'm glad I shed 20 pounds in March. Losing insulative adipose tissue renders it easier to keep cool when the outer world is way too HOT...

Upcoming High Noon Shootout Between Sundance Sasha & Reata Micallef

I saw that which you see above in a High Noon in Sundance Square: Reata’s Micallef takes a stand article in the online version of the Fort Worth Business Press. 

This was yet one more article about the mess created in downtown Fort Worth by Sasha Bass. We recently blogged about this mess in Time To Worry About Sundance Sasha With Lady Whistleworth.

So, the Sasha Bass mess has already been talked about in this venue. This article about the downtown Fort Worth Sundance Square mess did not so directly make Sasha Bass the focus of the mess, such as other articles have about this issue.

What got my attention in this Fort Worth Business Press article was the following paragraph which contained verbiage of the sort I have long been perplexed, and annoyed by, in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, but not the more reality based Fort Worth Business Press...

Sundance Square is 35 blocks of downtown Fort Worth real estate owned by Ed and Sasha Bass. Both Sid and Lee Bass, two of Ed’s brothers, exited the Sundance partnership and sold their interests to him and his wife. The concept for Sundance was eldest brother Sid’s idea and he put the plan together back in the early 1970s. It was his brainchild and it developed into a unique and classy urban development, admired by many cities across the country. It came to epitomize Fort Worth’s motto of “Cowboys and Culture,” with its reference to famed Western outlaws and rascals, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, juxtaposed with the addition of a small, world-class art museum, The Sid Richardson. Sundance Square set the tone for the entire city. Today it is dotted by vacant storefronts and is the subject of intense controversy.

___________________________

I was several years into up close observation of Fort Worth before I learned that Sundance Square was a 35 block downtown development scheme, foisted on Fort Worth by the Bass family.

Early on, asking downtown locals where Sundance Square was, I was usually pointed to parking lots by a huge mural of the Chisholm Trail. Years later an actual square was finally built at that location, goofily called Sundance Square Plaza.

So, according to this article in the FWBP Sundance Square was a Bass brainchild intending to develop downtown Fort Worth into a unique and classy development.

Really? I really do not mean to be rude here, but, is what I have seen in downtown Fort Worth considered unique and classy? Really? Where? How" When?

Currently the north end of downtown Fort Worth features a boarded up eyesore homage to Fort Worth's history called Heritage Park. The south end of downtown Fort Worth is the location of the notorious Water Gardens, a location which a few years ago drowned a few downtown Fort Worth visitors.

Are Heritage Park and the Water Gardens outside the 35 block classy and unique Sundance Square area? Why does the classy and unique downtown area have so few shopping venues, such as department stores and full sized grocery stores, which most downtowns have?

The Star-Telegram is notorious for claiming this that or some other perfectly ordinary thing in Fort Worth is making towns far and wide green with envy.

This article in the FWBP is claiming Fort Worth's unique and classy urban development is admired by many cities across the country.

Really? What would those cities be? How was this admiration for Fort Worth's downtown classiness and uniqueness expressed?

I have been to dozens of downtowns across dozens of American states. The only thing remotely unique about downtown Fort Worth is that boarded up Heritage Park, and the Water Gardens. The rest of downtown Fort Worth is perfectly nice, I would not suggest otherwise, but it is also perfectly ordinary, as previously said, not even remotely unique and classy.

And downtown Fort Worth is an extremely small downtown for a town with almost a million population. A downtown with few skyscrapers, thus not having a recognizable skyline, such as many other cities have, such as the worldwide recognized skyline of downtown Dallas.

Really, can anyone explain what is unique and classy about downtown Fort Worth? 

Before it was destroyed by the ill-fated new downtown Fort Worth Radio Shack corporate headquarters, Fort Worth actually had something somewhat classy and unique in acres of free parking linked to the heart of downtown Fort Worth by the world's shortest subway.

The free parking and free to ride subway is long gone, with downtown Fort Worth turned into an expensive place to park to enjoy all that imaginary unique classiness. The parking problem is just one facet of the current downtown Fort Worth Sundance Square Sasha mess.

I really do not understand why Fort Worth, as portrayed in its various press, can not be honest about the town. Why the chronic groundless hyperbolic propaganda? 

Propaganda pretending to be something you are not is a recipe for not becoming something better.

Downtown Fort Worth is a living example of this...

Wichita Falls Is A Surprisingly Cool Town Despite Being HOT

Yesterday I came upon an article which named 5 surprisingly cool towns where you can buy a home for $150K or less.

The towns were Little Rock, Arkansas, Rockford, Illinois, Syracuse, New York, Topeka, Kansas and the cool town I currently live in...

Wichita Falls, Texas

What follows is the blurb in the article about Wichita Falls...

Home prices in Texas spiked 23.3% in the last year, making many cities unaffordable if you’re working with a $150,000 budget. Not Wichita Falls, however, which was an oil boomtown in the early 20th century. Named after a historic waterfall that was washed away by a flood in the 19th century — and replaced by a 54-foot-long manmade cascade in 1989 — the city is about halfway between Dallas-Fort Worth and Oklahoma City. Wichita Falls has plenty of local attractions, including the River Bend Nature Center, which houses a butterfly conservatory; and more than 40 parks. There’s also the Kemp Center for the Arts, which showcases symphony and ballet performances, as well as art exhibitions. The town has two live theater troupes — Backdoor Theatre and the Wichita Theatre Performing Arts Center — and a ballet school, the Wichita Falls Ballet Theatre. For less than $150,000, you can buy a newly renovated 3-bedroom, 1200-square-foot home in the city. Along with excellent Tex-Mex, the city also offers quality steaks from nearby cattle farms at restaurants like McBride’s Steak House. One of the main downsides is that Wichita Falls is hot in the summer; temperatures in the city climbed above 100 degrees for 100 days in 2011, a Texas state record.

________________________

More than 40 parks? I must do some park searching, because I have not visited anywhere near that many parks in this town.

Even though I've not been to anywhere near that many parks here, I have wondered if Wichita Falls has more acreage devoted to parkland than any other town in America. Because this town does have several large parks. Lucy Park and Lake Wichita Park come to mind.

I have not heard of any plans to have a city wide celebration celebrating Wichita Falls being a cool town with affordable housing. I suspect such will not occur.

Early on in my experience of finding myself appalled by another Texas town, called Fort Worth, there was an amusingly embarrassing incident where Fort Worth did have a city wide celebration over such a thing.

A Washington, D.C. lobbying group promoting the concept of towns having what are known as Urban Villages named Fort Worth one of America's Top Ten Most Livable Cities With Urban Villages.

Fort Worth city officials acted like a homely girl waking up one morning to find herself in the Top Ten in the Miss America pageant, actually breathlessly asking how long this honor was good for. To be told, ten years.

I suspect Fort Worth was the only town, so enamored of this imaginary honor, that it was asked how long the honor was good for.

During the time this was happening I found myself up north, in Tacoma, a town with actual Urban Villages, which also was in the Top Ten of this D.C. lobbying group's bogus list.

At that point in time, whilst in Tacoma, I found myself visiting Tacoma's Deputy Mayor. He was driving me around town in his Prius. He had recently been to DFW and asked how I could stand living where there was no scenery, asking me this as we were looking directly at Mount Rainier. I replied that the wildflowers are scenic.

I then asked if Tacoma had itself a citywide celebration when Tacoma got that Most Livable Urban Village accolade. 

The Deputy Mayor replied that no, there was no celebration. We politely thanked them, and that was it.

When I told the Deputy Mayor Fort Worth had a citywide celebration he thought I was joking, and didn't believe me til I showed him my blog posts documenting the ridiculousness. 

I remember him asking me if Fort Worth actually had any Urban Villages, to which I told him not of the Tacoma sort, nothing like Old Town or Proctor, but Fort Worth does have a somewhat Urban Village in what is known as the Magnolia neighborhood.

Fort Worth's ten years of being a Top Ten Most Livable Urban Village city must be about up.

I wonder if the Trinity River Central City Uptown Panther Island Riverwalk District Vision will one day be known as an Urban Village? More likely it will one day be known as a vast wasteland which once was one of America's Top Ten Boondoggles...

HOT Lucy Park Sunday With Yellow Wildflowers

On this first Sunday of the 2022 version of April, it was back to Lucy Park I ventured today, to get myself some aerobically acquired endorphins via fast walking the Lucy Park backwoods. 

With the temperature in the 80s, Lucy Park had a lot of visitors today.

Picnickers, disc golfers, bikers, walkers, scooters, baby carriage pushers, and me.

That is the Wichita River you see above, flowing with extra water due to recent sky drippage. When that happens, the river returns to its preferred reddish brown color.

Green is sprouting out all over. On the ground, leaves in the trees and underbrush. Soon the scene above will look like a jungle, with passage through not so easy. That and then one has to be on the lookout for snakes.

Coming out of the Lucy Park backwoods, at the bottom of a bluff on which the Lucy Park Japanese Pagoda sits, the Pagoda looks taller than when you look at it at its own level.

I still have not learned, despite years of inquiring, the story behind why this Pagoda is in Lucy Park.

Soon after passing the Lucy Park Pagoda I came up this display of yellow wildflowers coloring up the landscape.

I read, a couple days ago, in the monthly Tandy Hills online newsletter, that the Tandy Hills wildflowers are tardy. Usually by this time of the year the hills are alive with a cacophony of color.

It is speculated that this past odd winter, with its many high and lows, has confused the foliage, not knowing if it safe to sprout, or is yet one more Arctic Blast going to arrive.

That cycle of HOT and cold continues. Today we are in the 80s. A cold front arrives in a few hours, with rain and likely thunderstorms, with the temperature high only in the 60s.

With rain likely falling tomorrow I don't know where I will get my daily endorphin dose...

Wichita Falls Moves From Tornado Alley To Wildfire Alley

I saw that which you above, this first Saturday morning of the 2022 version of April, in an article in today's Wichita Falls Times News Record. Apparently, I am no longer residing at the Southern end of what is known as Tornado Alley.

I now live in Wildfire Alley.

Other than the weekly tornado sirens test I have not heard the tornado sirens erupt in Wichita Falls since I have been in this town. I have also not seen a wildfire since being here. When I lived in the DFW zone I thrice had up close tornado experiences. 

But, I have never seen a stereotypical twister of the likes one expects to see. Instead all I've seen is an angry looking odd-colored wall of clouds, in which a tornado was spinning.

Last night I thought we might be going into tornado mode, due to the wall of black clouds I saw to the west as the sun set. That turned into a few lightning strikes, along with some rain, but little wind.

My location in this town is right where one of the worst tornadoes ever to twist, twisted into town, way back in 1979. This is known, locally, as Terrible Tuesday. This deadly tornado spun through the area I live in, doing damage along Southwest Parkway, the Sikes Senter mall, and the MSU president's residence, among other locations I am familiar with.

There is a historical marker marking the Terrible Tuesday Tornado at the park at the west end of Sikes Lake.

This deadly Wichita Falls tornado was part of what is known as the 1979 Red River Valley tornado outbreak.

Four informative paragraphs about the Wichita Falls Terrible Tuesday Tornado in the Wikipedia article about the 1979 Red River Valley tornado outbreak.

The Wichita Falls tornado formed in Archer County and moved northeast and damaged a few rural homes and high voltage towers. It rapidly intensified as it entered the city near Memorial Stadium by McNiel Jr. High on Southwest Parkway, which was located to the west of Wichita Falls at approximately 6:07 p.m. damaging both structures severely. Hail the size of golf balls preceded the touchdown and continued for approximately 15 minutes. It then became calm before the winds began to pick up.

The massive wedge tornado, which was at its maximum 1.5 miles (2.4 km) wide, cut a 2.5-mile (4.0 km) swath of destruction through the south side of town, leveling everything in its path. It destroyed an apartment complex near the beginning of its path. It also took its first lives there. It later destroyed a restaurant, the majority of Sikes Senter, the major mall, and another apartment complex where it took more lives. Neighborhoods all along Southwest Parkway were leveled and nothing but debris and destruction remained.

A number of people tried to flee as the tornado moved along U.S. Highways 281 and 287. Roughly half of the 42 people killed were in their cars. It then moved into Clay County and changed its appearance to display a multiple-vortex structure. There were at times five separate vortices visible within the tornado. It inflicted additional damage south of Dean and Byers, but no more fatalities occurred. It crossed into Oklahoma where additional damage occurred before it dissipated.

The injury count for this tornado was 1,740, the most injuries ever recorded for an F4/EF4 tornado

I hope it is not tempting fate to suggest Wichita Falls is no longer in Tornado Alley...

No Foolin' With Horses Or Life Jugs Or Slotemakers On April Fool's Day

At my first abode, when I moved to Texas, the three horses you see me sitting with, above, were part of the household. The horse named Caution knew how to open the gate to the backyard. Caution would then lead the other two in for a visit. 

I forgot to mention that this morning, whilst looking for a Delicate Arch photo, I came upon the photos you see here.

I thought I remembered one of the horses getting in the pool, and it being a bit of a struggle to get the horse back on dry land. I have been informed that this is a false memory, likely the result of a nightmare.

My cat, Hortense, who made the move to Texas via flying, liked the horses. Hortense would purr, whilst holding her by a horse, and would reach out with a paw to pet the horse.

Moving on to Life Jugs...

The above photo was taken in Dinosaur Valley State Park.

Dinosaur Valley is one of my favorite Texas parks, with great hiking and mountain biking trails. The park has a swimming hole courtesy of the Paluxy River. I was slightly appalled when I saw the LIFE JUGS: THROW A DROWNING PERSON sign, with two jugs hanging from the sign.

Was this supposed to be a joke? Or are they serious. The swimming hole looked fun to swim in, except there were turtles enjoying it. You don't want to swim with turtles. I was chased by a big turtle whilst swimming in Lake Grapevine. If I remember right that turtle chased incident was the last time I got into a Texas lake.

Moving on to more signs...

Washington's Maxine sent me the above photo a couple months ago. She saw this in a store in Lynden. 

Slotemaker is Dutch for Jones.

The original Slotemaker farm is a short distance east of Lynden. For some reason the Slotemaker road signs get frequently stolen. One or two of my nephews engaged in this practice, with the purloined signs hanging on their bedroom walls.

Let me see if I can find a photo of the last time I was looking at the Slotemaker road sign.

That would be three of the youngest Slotemaker Jones, Ruby, Theo and David, standing under the Slotemaker Road sign whilst their favorite uncle takes a picture of them.

The above photo was taken August 12, 2017, almost five years ago. Hard to believe it was that long ago. In my memory it seems like yesterday.

That was one special, unforgettable day...

(If you click on the link the date on the blog post is August 14, that being the day the post was posted, but August 12 was the date the photo was taken)

This Morning My Calendar Took Me To Arches National Park With Wanda

 

I flipped my wall calendar to the new month of April this morning to find this month's featured National Park is Arches National Park, in Utah.

I had been to all the other Utah National Parks before finally visiting Arches after having been to Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef and Canyonlands National Parks.

All the Utah National Parks are scenic wonderlands, with great hiking. Hike-wise, I think Arches is my favorite, due to the ranger guided Fiery Furnace Hike. 

On Utah license plates you see Delicate Arch being the symbol of Utah. You do not need a ranger to guide you on the hike to Delicate Arch. The hike to Delicate Arch may be my all time favorite hike.

Let me see if I can find one of the photos I took of Delicate Arch, which turned out to be one of my all time favorite photos.

Found it...

That would be Wanda the Washingtonian next to me, with Delicate Arch behind us.

This photo was taken by my now antique Casio digital camera, which had the ability to take what are now known as selfies, before phones made that practice ubiquitous.

Seeing Arches National Park this morning sure makes me want to once again gaze upon a scenic wonderland. I have not gazed upon a scenic wonderland for over three years, with the scenic wonderland of Arizona being what I gazed upon at that point in time...

Time To Worry About Sundance Sasha With Lady Whistleworth

 

Yesterday Elsie Hotpepper pointed me to a couple news articles about what is currently worrying locals regarding downtown Fort Worth.

This morning, via the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, I saw the headline you see screen capped. 

So, the Star-Telegram is also reporting on that which is worrying downtown Fort Worth.

Basically, what is worrying people is troubles with the management of the downtown Fort Worth organization known as Sundance Square.

Sundance Square perplexed me, and others, upon first visiting downtown Fort Worth and seeing signage pointing to Sundance Square. But, there was no square in Sundance Square, til years later when one of the downtown parking lots was turned into Sundance Square Plaza. I forget how many years it was til I learned Sundance Square was the name given a downtown Fort Worth revitalization project.

I remember learning this and thinking, yikes, if this is the revitalized version, what was this sleepy downtown like before getting vitalized?

Is that homage to Fort Worth's heritage, known as Heritage Park, still a boarded up closed eyesore on the north end of downtown Fort Worth? Or has Heritage Park been revitalized? Heritage Park at the north end of downtown Fort Worth, and the Water Gardens at the south end, are really the only two things about downtown Fort Worth which are even remotely unique.

Well, I guess it could be said that downtown Fort Worth is also unique in that it is the only big city downtown in America without any department stores. Or full sized grocery stores.

Because of the lack of shopping venues downtown Fort Worth is a ghost town on the busiest shopping day of the year, that being Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. We have made mention of this in various venues, including Day After Thanksgiving on my Eyes on Texas website, and multiple blog posts, including Having Fun Looking For Black Friday Shoppers Today In Downtown Fort Worth.

The two articles about Sundance Square which Elsie Hotpepper directed me to are...

'It is a shell': Reata's departure isn't the only issue facing Fort Worth's Sundance Square

and 

What's the Deal With Sundance Square?

The comments following the What's the Deal article are quite informative and enlightening.

Basically locals with an interest in downtown Fort Worth, such as restaurant owners, and other business owners, have been having trouble with a woman named Sasha Bass, the young trophy wife of Fort Worth billionaire, Ed Bass, who is 76 years old.

A paragraph from the Wikipedia article about Ed Bass...

Bass is a long-time supporter of downtown redevelopment, and has been described as a "leader in what is recognized as one of the most successful urban revitalization efforts in America". He and his family began the Sundance Square development in 1982. It combines commercial and residential space in the central business area of Fort Worth, and it received the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce's Spirit of Enterprise award in 2004. He led the development of Bass Performance Hall, financed without public funding, which opened in 1998.

The high cost of parking in downtown Fort Worth has become a troubling issue, and may account for being one of the reasons for the drop in the number of downtown Fort Worth visitors.

Since I have been keeping my eyes on Fort Worth I have witnessed many incredibly stupid things. The stupidest may have been letting Radio Shack build a new corporate headquarters at the north end of downtown Fort Worth. A corporate headquarters which Radio Shack could not afford, which was eventually turned into a Tarrant Community College campus.

The reason the Radio Shack debacle was stupid was that it ruined the other thing remotely unique about downtown Fort Worth, in addition to Heritage Park and the Water Gardens, that being the acres of free parking, with the world's shortest subway line taking visitors from the parking lot into the heart of downtown Fort Worth. 

Free to park, free to ride the subway.

I frequently frequented downtown Fort Worth when the parking and the subway made it easy. After the subway and parking was destroyed I only visited downtown Fort Worth a few more times.

The Sundance Square Sasha Bass Scandal has spawned another amusing thing Elsie Hotpepper directed me to, that being the Lady Whistleworth Instagram page, where Lady Whistleworth is the "Center of morality, governance, fashion - precisely because they are all broken."

No one knows who Lady Whistleworth is. Below is a screencap from the Lady Whistleworth Instagram. And below the screencap you can read the most recent Instagram posting from Lady Whistleworth. And just to be clear, the Evil Queen to which Lady Whistleworth refers is Sasha Bass...

Dearest Readers,

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

While we all learned this morning that a long time iconic downtown restaurant is unfortunately looking for a new location, this author has also heard that the dark cloud of Servitude is beginning to fold inward against the evil oppressor.  It seems, you see, that time is indeed running out for our Queen. As previously penned, there is increasing pressure with lenders to resolve the mortgages concerning the Queen’s properties which are on the verge of default. The problem is whilst she actively shops new lenders, in what we all hope will be another one of her futile endeavors, she is also actively working against tenants and commerce in general! Raise the rents? Check! Raise parking prices? Check! Pay any tenant to leave the Square that does not share her “vision”? Check! One would think that this rate of failure, combined with her immeasurable grandiosity, should finally prove persuasive enough to bring justice to Fort Worth!

At this point it may also be instructive to review the Queen’s resume, which won’t take long: No college degree. No career. No business experience. Family history of criminal activity, arrests, convictions, shoplifting, green card marriage, & disenfranchisement of all associated Royals. How could a lender look at this background and track record and do anything BUT foreclose? The real silver living to the cloud though is that perhaps the Brothers will hear the cries of their fair City, and come to the rescue. It would resolve things for all parties involved.

God Save the Queen? No, God Save Fort Worth!

 

Ever Yours,

Lady Whistleworth

___________________________

The verbiage of all the Lady Whistleworth postings is at the same high level of elevated snarkiness as the above example.

Upon reading the Lady Whistleworth words I thought she might be Elsie Hotpepper. I asked Elsie if it was she, to which Elsie said no, it was not she. So, who is Lady Whistleworth?
