I didn’t even get 5 miles away from my office when I had to take a quick detour for the pic of the day.

Something has been weighing incredibly heavily on my mind lately. There’s a beautiful place in Fort Worth that corporate America is wanting to ruin. This place has so much sentimental attachment to it, for hundreds if not thousands of people. Some of the best times I’ve had in Fort Worth, some of the most amazing people I’ve met, all have occurred at this place.
Ladies & Gentlemen, the Ridglea Theater in Fort Worth:

Now before some of you locals start in with “Well all they ever do is play heavy metal shows,” let me say… this place could play nothing but silent movies for the rest of eternity, and I’d be pleased as punch. This isn’t about the type of music played there.. quite honestly, to be blunt, I’ve grown weary of the “boys club” that the Ridglea music scene has become (you know, where the same acts play over and over again, regardless of the talent). The Ridglea could host nothing but country music from here on out, and while I may not attend, I’d still be able to admire the beauty and splendor that is the Ridglea Theater. Theaters like the Ridglea are no longer a dime a dozen; they’ve become an endangered species. We should save every bit of Americana we can.

So, please everyone (esp citizens of Fort Worth), please visit the Ridglea Theater website and obtain the information for the city councilman who needs to hear our pleas.. Save the Ridglea. http://ridgleatheater.com/
