MediterraneanGrocery Wholesalers in Fort Worth, TX

The 2023 results are in, and U.S. News and World Report has deemed five Dallas-Fort Worth universities among the best grad schools in the state, with some departments landing among the top 100 in the country.

U.S. News publishes its national "Best Graduate Schools" rankings every year, which looks at several programs including business, education, engineering, fine arts, health, and many others. For the 2023-2024 report, the publication decided to withhold its rankings for law and medical schools, which will be published later this year. It also changed the methodology for ranking education and business schools by focusing on outcome rather than a program’s reputation and selectivity.

The University of Texas at Dallas Naveen Jindal School of Managementranked No. 3 in Texas and No. 27 overall in the nation, with its project management program ranking eighth best nationally. The Jonsson School of Engineering earned the No. 73 spot among engineering schools, and sixth best program in Texas. Additionally, the university's audiology and speech-language pathology programs landed the No. 2 and No. 10 spots in the nation.

Southern Methodist University followed right behind UT Dallas for the No. 4 top graduate business school in Texas, and No. 33 overall. The university also has the third best graduate education school in the state, and 49th best nationally.

Denton's University of North Texas earned the No. 6 spot in the state for its graduate education program, which ranked 99th overall. It faired similarly in the business category at No. 95 nationally, and ninth best in Texas. Most notably, UNT has the No. 20 best library and information studies programs, with its health librarianship program ranking the sixth best in the nation. The public affairs department also earned some nods for its No. 8 and No. 10 overall ranks in local government management, and homeland security and emergency management programs.

At No. 50 nationally and No. 6 in the state for its graduate business school is Fort Worth's Texas Christian University. The graduate education school ranked No. 8 in Texas, and No. 125 overall. It also has the No. 43 best doctorate nursing program in the nation.

The University of Texas at Arlington earned the No. 4 spot in Texas for its graduate engineering program, and No. 69 nationally. It is the No. 54 best master's nursing program and No. 51 best social work program in the nation, according to the report.

“When prospective students are considering their options for graduate school, the Best Graduate Schools rankings are designed to help them identify schools that excel in the program they want to study,” said LaMont Jones, senior editor of Education at U.S. News. “With many options available, U.S. News provides a wealth of data in an easy format to help each student make the best decision.”

Some category rankings have not been released for the 2023-24 school year, but the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center ranked No. 2 in Texas in the “Best Medical Schools: Research” and “Primary Care” categories for 2022. Additionally, the School of Law at Texas A&M University in Fort Worth and the Dedman School of Law at Southern Methodist University previously ranked No. 2 and No. 4 respectively in Texas for the 2022-2023 academic year.

Tannahill’s Tavern & Music Hall has launched a weekly brunch and live gospel concert series. The Stockyards venue’s Sunday Gospel Brunch & Social happens every Sunday at 11:00 a.m. A big brunch buffet starts at 12 p.m., and live music, courtesy of Linny Nance & The Network, begins at 12:30. Buffet items rotate and so far have included pecan smoked ham, herb roasted leg of lamb, smoked salmon, crispy fried smashed potatoes, smoked cheddar grits, charred carrots, and French toast bread pudding. The cost is $49 a person, plus a mandatory 20% gratuity. Booze is extra.

A familiar face in the local restaurant industry has taken over one of the city’s oldest restaurants, Margie’s Original Italian Kitchen, a staple of the Westland area since 1953. Gigi Howell and biz partner Bourke Harvey recently acquired the restaurant from longtime owner Keith Kidwell, who acquired it from the family of Italian immigrants — including Margie Walters — who opened it. Margie’s will be closed for about two months as Howell and Harvey make tweaks to the menu and interior. One change they’ve already made: The restaurant is now called Margie’s Italian Gardens.

Margie’s is in great hands. As I noted in a profile I wrote about her last year, Howell has strong ties to the 70-year-old restaurant: Her parents met there while they were both employees — her mom a hostess, her dad a busboy. Matter of fact, Howell’s family was instrumental in the development of Westland, and now Howell is doing her part to revitalize the once-bustling area. In addition to revamping Margie’s, she recently opened a burger spot just a few feet away, JD’s Hamburgers. Look for Margie’s to reopen this summer.

It was great to see Fort Worth’s Lola’s Cuban Food on NBC/Channel 5’s news a few weeks ago. After four years of running a food truck, husband-wife owners Liliam Morin and Miquelin Herrera are on the eve of opening a brick-and-mortar at 4608 Bryant Irvin Road, Ste. 440. In early April, NBC did a segment on the restaurant and how a low-interest loan from the new CDFI Friendly Fort Worth helped. According to the NBC story, since it started last year, the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund has provided $10.3 million so far in new capital to minority-owned businesses in Fort Worth. On its website, CDFI Friendly Fort Worth describes itself as “an independent, not-for-profit organization that exists solely to match CDFIs to financing needs in Fort Worth.” For more info on CDFI, visit cdfifriendlyfortworth.org.

Said the company representative.

A garage door spring is a critical component of any garage door. It is what helps to support the weight of the door and allows it to be opened and closed with ease. If a spring breaks, it can cause the door to become very heavy and difficult to open. Garage door springs typically last about 10,000 cycles (about 14 years). However, they can break sooner if they are not properly maintained. A professional garage door repair company like Metro Garage Door Repair LLC can replace a broken spring quickly and efficiently.

A garage door has several key components, including the garage door opener. The opener is what helps to open and close the door automatically. It consists of a motor, transmission, and chain. If any of these components fail, the door will not be able to open or close properly. A garage door repair company can quickly diagnose and repair any issues with a garage door opener, and Metro Garage Door Repair LLC offers a full warranty on all opener repairs.

Over time, garage doors will become worn out and cease to function properly. When this happens, it is time to replace the door. The Fort Worth garage door service company offers a wide selection of new garage doors for commercial and residential properties, and their team of experienced professionals can help their clients choose the perfect door for their needs and budget. Whether a new installation or a replacement, Metro Garage Door Repair LLC can handle the job efficiently.

The needs of a commercial property differ from those of a residential property. A commercial garage door must be durable and withstand heavy use.

Historic Fort Worth released The Fort Worth Most Endangered Places list yesterday, and it’s a doozy.

One of the real gut punches is the Allen Chapel at 116 Elm Street. It was designed by William Sidney Pittman and built in 1915. He is the same gentleman that designed the Knights of Pythias Temple in Dallas, which was thankfully rescued and is now the Klimpton Pittman Hotel.

Pittman was the first black architect in Texas and married Portia Washington, the daughter of Booker T. Washington. This chapel is particularly significant because it was designated as a Texas Historic Landmark in 1983 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. These designations, unfortunately, do not protect a building from demolition.

I know. It’s crazy.

Only five of Pittman’s structures were still standing in 2020. All the rest, including the 1913 Carnegie Library of Houston, have been demolished. It seems when a structure has deferred maintenance, which is common in historic buildings, people quickly dismiss these important pieces of our history. Of course, intelligent investors benefit from any structure that already has state and national landmark status. Any approved restoration project should qualify for the Texas Historic Preservation Tax Credit Program. That’s 25 cents on every dollar spent on restoration expenses, including architectural and engineering fees.

When you consider the importance of Pittman’s work both historically and culturally, this is something that should fill us all with not only despair but also anger. We must do better. The Fort Worth Most Endangered Places list is an opportunity for everyone. We can spread the word and we can look to the wins.

Look to The Wins

Those Texas wins include The Kimpton Pittman Hotel in Dallas, or pretty much anything Todd Interests touches. Look at The National at 1401 Elm Street in Dallas. Originally known as The First National Bank Tower and Elm Place, it was built in 1965. It was Texas’s biggest historic preservation project, costing over $450 million. It’s a significant success story and the best example of what savvy investors can do with historic buildings. It just takes vision and creativity.

The Fort Worth Most Endangered Places list brought attention to the 1950 Ridglea Theater. Demolition was halted, and a new owner restored this much-loved iconic building to its original splendor. It’s hard to believe the Fort Worth stockyards were ever in danger, but they were. Historic Fort Worth funded a historic resources survey that turned the stockyards into a historic district. Can you imagine Fort Worth without the historic stockyards?

FORT WORTH, Texas – The Texas A&M men's tennis team was selected to its 27th-consecutive NCAA Tournament, earning an at-large bid in the TCU Regional. The Aggies will take on SMU to open the event at 2 p.m. on Friday, May 5th at the Bayard H. Freidman Tennis Center, followed by the matchup of UT Arlington/TCU. The winners of each match will face off on Saturday at 4 p.m.

"We're in a really high-quality regional," said head coach Steve Denton. "However, I do think that our experiences last year in the tournament and in matches this season will help us. We have a tough opening match with SMU which we won't overlook, then hopefully have another opportunity to play on Saturday."

The Aggies are coming off a top-five finish in the SEC regular season, improving one position from their 2022 campaign. The Maroon & White followed up their conference regular season success with an impressive run in the SEC Tournament, as the team advanced to the semifinals after downing then-No. 6 South Carolina. Fifth-year graduate Guido Marson earned All-Tournament Team honors for his performance.

"I think all of the guys are excited for the start of the tournament," fifth-year senior Noah Schachter said. "The team is carrying a lot of momentum from the matches at the end of the season and in the SEC Tournament, so we hope to use that in these opening rounds."

The Aggies picked up a pair of SEC postseason honors, as both Schachter and Raphael Perot were selected to the All-SEC First Team. The duo also earned invitations to the NCAA Singles Championships which will take place following the team championships at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida.

"I think it is set up well as we are playing in familiar conditions," Perot said. "We're excited for the match with SMU, and then I really want to play TCU. Playing the best teams in the nation is always a great experience. I think we have shown we can play with anyone in the country, so we hope to do that this weekend."

WEEKEND SCHEDULE

TICKETS Fans can purchase tickets at the main entrance of the Bayard H. Freidman Tennis Center for $5 (cash only).
