Storms and Branches and Hail, Oh My!

March 26, 2016 by Ginger

view of a cloudy sky through bare tree branchesSpring. That one word conjures up many pleasant images and scents – fresh flowers, budding trees and here in North Texas, fields of bluebonnets, all tell us it’s spring time. Unfortunately it also brings unpredictable and potentially severe weather, and recently we’ve had a little of both. But, this post isn’t about weather or how to predict it, it’s about Fort Worth storm debris left behind and how to get rid of it.

Storm-based Tree Limbs & Brush Collections

After some of these recent storms, you might walk outside to find large chunks of your trees previously in the air are now on the ground. The city recently posted how they can assist. Check out this article to see how much you can put out for pickup, and how to cut and stack debris. In addition, you are welcome to use any of the the three city drop-off stations. Just know you need to “bring a recent water bill, driver’s license or other official ID to prove you’re a resident.”

Bulk Trash Collection Days

Keep in mind with this higher-than-normal volume of bulk debris, various collections may get behind as their trucks fill-up faster than usual, so they may slide into the next day or two. If you already have items out, just be patient, they will be collected!

For other bulk items, remember the bulk trash pickup week for Arlington Heights is the week of the fourth Monday of the month. You can start loading items on your curb the weekend prior to that fourth week. For details or to look up services based on any Fort Worth address, check out the Bulk Waste Collection page on the city website.

Hulen Construction Closure in Arlington Heights Part 2

March 25, 2016 by Ginger

map showing the two blocks of Hulen just south of Camp Bowie that will be closed for constructionLast fall we alerted you to a closure of Hulen for the first two blocks southbound from Camp Bowie Blvd.

Starting on March 24th, this same section is closed off again, however, this time it will extend two months with the closure expected to run through May 22nd. Hopefully this is nearing the completion of the large drainage system installation to elevate a long-standing flooding issue on a few streets in Arlington Heights.

Living off the Bricks – Camp Bowie Boulevard

September 8, 2015 by Ginger

Yes, but you live off the bricks!

The first time I heard this was from a real estate colleague responding to my impatience (OK, whining) over the fact that our Arlington Heights home, originally built in 1922, needed work that was not progressing as fast as I would have liked. It took me a moment, then I realized “off the bricks” meant off Camp Bowie Boulevard, in which Arlington Heights sits off a key chunk of.

Camp Bowie Boulevard is indeed lined with bricks which have been continually replaced over the years, but in doing so, keeps true to it’s history. As an excerpt from our History of Arlington Heights page tells us

Present day Camp Bowie Blvd. was originally called Arlington Heights Blvd. and was paved with creosote soaked wooden blocks. In 1921 it was renamed Camp Bowie Blvd., and was paved with brick in 1928.”

Today’s Camp Bowie offers something for everyone: boutique-style shops, art galleries, bakeries and world-class museums and restaurants. The boulevard stretches for a total of nine miles from the Fort Worth Cultural District to Highway 820, however, not surprising, my favorite part is our little stretch that lines Arlington Heights. Come see for yourself!

Later this week we’ll cover a bi-annual event off the bricks known as Gallery Night…stay tuned!
