Cultural District | Fort Worth, Texas CULTURAL DISTRICT | FORT WORTH, TEXAS OPENED IN 2007, CROCKETT ROW spans five city blocks currently containing 275,000 SF of retail, 100,000 SF of office and 540 apartments. Today, the final phase is underway, encompassing a redevelopment and refinement of the existing property, as well as the addition of new retail space and luxury residences. Crockett Row is an open-air shopping, dining, and entertainment experience unlike any place in the city. The tree-lined sidewalks and tailored storefronts fronting the high energy of 7th Street create showcase opportunities for the best national and regional brands. We are currently enhancing the project amenities, hardscape, landscape and building architecture. We are also implementing a rotating art program and new calendar of promotional events, appointed with a carefully selected mix of shops, boutiques, inspired restaurants, entertainment venues, premier offices, and high-style apartment residences. 82 56 75 35 RAY ROBERTS LAKE COOPER LAKE 380 67 121 LITTLE ELM LEGACY WEST 78 RESERVOIR SHOPS AT LEGACY DNT 75 LAKE LAVON 114 114 67 president g e GRAPEVINE o 78 r LAKE g e b 170 u sh tu 121 r n p i ke SOUTHLAKE 69 TOWN SQUARE 34 GALLERIA 35W 35E 287 276 19 276 276 30 NORTHPARK 161 MALL 114 LAKE TAWAKONI 199 121 635 205 DNT LAKE RAY HUBBARD 183 75 NORTHEAST MALL WEST VILLAGE 820 360 HIGHLAND PARK VILLAGE 121 80 FORT WORTH 30 312 ARLINGTON DALLAS HIGHLANDS MTN 20 l UNIVERSITY PARK CREEK 30 ai r LAKE LAKE t VILLAGE / WEST BEND 80 m 12 l ARLINGTON 175 o 20 s i SHOPS AT CLEARFORK h c 45 20 20 HULEN 360 820 MALL 35E JOE POOL LAKE BENBROOK LAKE 35W 377 67 1 20 ,89 ,546 ON: 1 TRADE AREA POPULATI 45 79 287 377 67 35W 35E 287 SPRING CREEK RESERVE 3-MILE RADIUS 5-MILE RADIUS 10-MILE RADIUS 90,282 Population 266,673 Population 868,756 Population 35,900 Households 94,334 Households 315,875 Households $78,003 Average HHI $67,876 Average HHI $67,503 Average HHI 35 Median Age 33 Median Age 34 Median Age 160,768 Daytime Demo 294,993 Daytime Demo 664,014 Daytime Demo 5-MINUTE RADIUS 10-MINUTE RADIUS TRADE AREA 68,777 Population 351,801 Population 1,546,891 Population 28,100 Households 125,116 Households 566,777 Households $84,629 Average HHI $67,874 Average HHI $75,440 Average HHI 35 Median Age 33 Median Age 35 Median Age 109,894 Daytime Demo 241,958 Daytime Demo 1,073,642 Daytime Demo 35 820 183 FORT WORTH STOCKYARDS Crestwood 121 Westworth Village Crestline / Rivercrest SUNDANCE SQUARE 183 Westover Hills 30 Ridgmar Trinity Arlington Park 30 Heights Ridglea North Mistletoe Hospital District Heights UNIVERSITY PARK VILLAGE / WEST BEND FORT WORTH ZOO Fairmount 287 Ridglea Hills COLONIAL COUNTRY CLUB LAKE IL RA T M Tanglewood L TEXAS CHRISTIAN 377 O S ARLINGTON UNIVERSITY River I Park H SHOPS AT CLEARFORK C C L EAR ER FORK IV TRINITY R 35 Overton Woods 820 HIGHLIGHTS COLLEGES OF • 2015 Population - 835,626 AND • Texas Christian University • UNT Health Sciences Center FORT WORTH • #1 Fastest growing BIG city in the U.S., 15 years in a row UNIVERSITIES • Residential population growth exceeds 40% since 2000 • TCU & UNT M.D. program • #1 “Top U.S. Downtowns” and the #1 “Best Places to • Texas A&M - School of Law Land Work” in 2014 • Texas Wesleyan University • The Trinity River Vision Authority has primed 800 acres • Tarrant County College within a 2 mile radius for development • Tarrant County College - Vocational • Home to Fortune 500 companies and more than 30,000 others - employing almost 600,000 people BAILEY AVE CARROLL ST MONTICELLO LINWOOD MONTGOMERY LEFT BANK AVG HOME PRICE $565K AVG HOME PRICE $450K PLAZA DEVELOPMENT 1,500 NEW APTS, HOTEL, & OFFICE CULTURAL DISTRICT FORT WORTH & WESTERN RAILRD MUSEUM PLACE WEST 7TH ST TO DOWNTOWN & SUNDANCE SQUARE RIVERCREST AVG HOME PRICE $669K UNT HEALTH & FOCH STREET WAREHOUSES SCIENCE CENTER CAMP BOWIE BLVD AMON CARTER MUSEUM UNIVERSITY DR LANCASTER AVE CASA MANANA r THEATER e FARRINGTON iv FIELD R y it TRINITY in PARK r WILL ROGERS T k MEMORIAL CENTER r o F r a le C ARLINGTON HEIGHTS AVG HOME PRICE $354K FORT WORTH CULTURAL Located at University Drive & 7th Street, the epicenter DISTRICT of Fort Worth’s coveted and acclaimed Cultural District, Crockett Row is surrounded by renowned museums, the Will Rogers Memorial Center, shopping, restaurants, professional buildings, luxury apartment communities, as well as the very best of Fort Worth’s established neighborhoods. • 6.5 million tourists visit annually • 2,180,000 square feet of office space in the immediate area • Restaurant & bar sales in the 76107 and 76102 zip codes exceed 30% of citywide total; alcohol sales on average exceed $5MM per month • 4,312 multi-family units and townhomes within one mile • Residential density is 3x the city average.

  • Press Release: the End of An
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 26, 2021 Media Contact: [email protected] The End of an Era: Abilene Zoo Mourns Loss of Male Lion Abilene, Tx - The Abilene Zoo is saddened to share news of the passing of its male lion, Botswana, on March 25th. The senior lion was humanely euthanized after a severe loss of mobility due to a suspected stroke in the overnight or early morning hours of the 25th. Botswana would have celebrated his 19th birthday June 23rd. "Losing an animal is never easy," said Zoo Veterinarian Dr. Stephanie Carle, "Knowing our staff did all that was possible to help Botswana live a long life and pass with dignity brings us peace." Zoo staff had been closely watching and managing Botswana’s health as he aged. A physical exam conducted last week revealed the senior lion’s kidney disease and dental concerns had progressed significantly. Botswana was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease approximately 3 years ago, and had developed high blood pressure and other conditions associated with it. Chronic kidney disease is one of the most common aging abnormalities of both exotic and domestic cats. "Animal care staff pour their hearts into caring for all of the animals daily, and it is like losing a family member when it is time to say goodbye. Our team has prepared for this day because we knew that Botswana was reaching the end of his life due to his advanced age," said General Curator and Animal Care Manager Denise Ibarra. "We truly mourn the loss of the animals we come to love, and Botswana will forever be a part of the Abilene Zoo." Botswana was born June 23, 2002, and outlived the average 16-year life expectancy of lions in Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) accredited zoos by nearly 3 years.

    Cameron Park Zoo Annual Report INSIDE THIS ISSUE: 2013 New Arrivals 2 Achievements 3 The Zoo has a lot to celebrate... Veterinary Care 4 Conservation 5 It is hard to fathom that Cameron Park Zoo has been open for 20 years. As you think The Numbers 7 about the Zoo’s beginning it is evident that many changes and improvements have taken place. Thanks to the support of our local community, donors and friends, Cam- Special Events 8 eron Park Zoo has proven to be successful. As you read through this annual report, 9 you will see the major accomplishments of the Zoo staff and the many partnerships Education that have been developed to improve the animal collection and facilities. Donors 10 Over this past year we have had several firsts and sadly we have had to say good bye to some very special animals. We are fortunate to have hired Dr. James Kusmierczyk, (or Dr. K). He has jumped right into the middle of the animal collection. Working with several local physicians and our primate staff, they are one of only a few institutions that have successfully recorded the blood pressure of an orangutan voluntarily. That is amazing. Through rigorous training they have gained the animal’s trust. Sadly this last year we had to say good bye to some of our older animals. Sam Jack and Jeffrey were guest favorites. It sounds a little Disneyesque but working at the Zoo you get to experience the cycles of life. The joy to see them born and then the realization that life always ends, when they pass.
