Last Ride of the Year

The temperature was 57 degrees (13.8 C), with a 15mph headwind.


I rode over to 7th Street and had a look at our newest bike lanes. This is the view from the east end looking west.

I believe the lanes extend all the way to University Drive.

After a little sightseeing I started looking for a place to eat. I had read a positive review in Fort Worth Weekly about The Tavern and decided to give it a try. It was easy to reach by bike. The restaurant is located at 2755 S. Hulen, across the street from Marvin's Electronics.

I ordered the fish tacos with grilled mahi-mahi. The fish was very good although I think Fort Worth Weekly's definition of Tex-Mex differs from mine. Folks on the border in south Texas, where me and my wife grew up, will eat just about any gland, organ, and body part of a cow, goat, or pig. I've eaten just about all of it. I had never seen a menu that offered fish tacos, and had never tried one, until I moved to Fort Worth.

This is a nice looking mid-century modern home, but somebody needs to tell these people to remove those evergreen trees and shrubs. They obscure the most interesting feature of this house, the large front windows.
