A real shame: The Rainbow Lounge Raid of 2009

On June 28, 2009, the Rainbow Lounge, a LGBT club in Fort Worth, was raided by the Fort Worth Police (FWPD) and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) for suspicious (homophobic) reasons.  A patron was seriously injured in the raid.  Several TABC employees were fired but neither that agency nor the FWPD will admit the reasoning.

It's a fun place with really nice people.  How dare they.  The bartender said that threatening notes are still left on the front door saying another raid is imminent.

Kind of a shame...

The Armour Swift Meatpacking Plant-Forth Worth Texas:

I'm a strict vegetarian, but I love decaying historical buildings.  It appears as if this old meat packing plant is going to be torn down soon.  Click here to see the Fort Worth Star Telegram article, which includes a history of the property.


I was not willing to jump the fence in broad daylight with tons of cars driving by.  But click here to see some pictures from someone who was.
