You're probably already aware of this, but just in case, I am watching a
new series on Paramount +, starring Billy Bob Thornton, in which I think >you'd be interested.
"Landman," about oil drilling, is set in Fort Worth and filmed on
locations you probably recognize. Plus, it's excellent.
There are scenes at The Fort Worth Petroleum Club, TCU, Faith Community >Hospital in Jacklow, the Hotel Driver and the River Crest Country Club
in the first three episodes.
Jim,
Did you miss this message or just have no comment?
In addition to the locales, in your native Fort Worth, "Landman" is one
of my favorite television series EVER.

Jim is not from there originally, so would he be considered a native
just because he lives there now?

The U.S. War Department officially named Fort Worth on November 14,
1849. Named after General William Jenkins Worth, a distinguished
officer and war hero who served in the Mexican-American War.
In January 1849, General Worth proposed building a series of forts to
protect the Texas frontier. Unfortunately, he passed away from cholera
in May 1849 and the task passed to Major Ripley A. Arnold who set up
a post initially named Camp Worth...

And I guess you know why it's called "the Panther City"?

This is true but, to my amazement, I have lived here over 50 years now
so they may not deport me -- yet.
It would be pretty funny if Abbott got ICE to ship Jim back to Ohio.

In the late 1800s, during a period of economic hardship, a Dallas
attorney named Robert E. Cowart wrote a letter to the Dallas Herald, >describing Fort Worth as so quiet that he saw a panther asleep on Main >Street. This comment was intended as an insult, suggesting that Fort
Worth was a sleepy, lifeless town.
However, instead of taking offense, the people of Fort Worth embraced
the panther as a symbol of resilience and strength. The panther became
an enduring emblem of the city, appearing on police badges, public
buildings, and even inspiring the name of local businesses &
landmarks.

Oops, sorry Jim, I made an error of judgment here.
I should have responded with:
No, I don't know, please tell us, Jim.
