I'm going to note a couple things here. After an attack at this location by one of the employees…read morelast night, I will be filing information with the police. I have looked back over the comments here and noticed that there is somebody named Sam S as the business owner. I find it interesting that you cannot see his profile or his full name or picture. I'd actually considered reaching out to the owner about the incident, as it looked as if the owner is fairly responsive, but after attempting to find out who "Sam S. Business Owner" is, it's not possible here. I'd like to know who Sam S is. Not only was there an issue with the employees attitude upon entering the establishment, but after the attack, attempted to take his picture with my phone as he backed away towards the kitchen, putting his hand in front of his face, it seems all of his brothers, of the same ethnicity, surrounded him. They all work there. The group of about 10-12 ethnic young men started yelling at me and said put your phone away, while attempting to grab it. I did get this one picture of the attacker(employee, and will be seeing Care Now today and talking with the police as the incident involved a knife from his pocket. I'm not sure who the owners are, seeming what looked like a bunch of possibly Somali looking employees come to his rescue, and keeping me from taking that attackers picture, you can see that they don't act like normal Americans and they seemed to have accidents. I've never seen anything like this. Just be careful if you decide to go in this place. Also, noted during this visit, other employees were clearly drinking on the job. I didn't see this young man (attacker) drinking personally, but with other employees mentioning that the General Manager was there, so they needed to hide their drinking, it makes me wonder if the whole staff is constantly drinking or on something else. I have brothers who proudly served our country, these Landmark employees will not intimidate, as they so stated after the attack.

About 45 minutes south of Ft Worth is the historic and still smallish town of Granbury Texas…read more Growing up in Dallas I was familiar with the name and where it's located but,I never visited. I've been to many of the surrounding towns like Cleburn and Weatherford but, just never had occasion to go through Granbury. That all changed yesterday when I was in need of a day trip. You know, the kind that refreshes. The whole idea of driving an hour or two and exploring and discovering a place you haven't been always pushes my hot button. Granbury has been a popular day trip spot due to its Dallas Ft Worth proximity for sometime. It began " Gentrifying" long before it was trendy. Partially because of the lake that's there as a result of the Brazos river. Combine that with a small Texas town and you have a winner. I rolled into town about 10:30 am on a cloudy and chilly day. Parked the car and began walking around the square. In the center of the square,as with most Texas Towns,sits the Hood County Courthouse. Texas courthouses are located in the county seat. In this case Granbury. As a result,counties grew out of this design and a lot of significant history lies in the court houses of Texas. A bonus is,85% of them are archetectually beautiful. The Hood County Courthouse is less beautiful but still unique. I didn't have time to fully explore but, will return to do so. There is a lot of limestone readily available around this area and as a result,a significant number of the historic buildings were built from it. This has resulted in most of them surviving over 100 plus years and adding to the charming aesthetic of the town square. Nothing is vacant here. All the buildings in town are preserved , restored and occupied. I love to see that. Too many of our small towns are decaying due to lack of demand and neglect. If you live within an hour or two,you can't go wrong checking out the historic Granbury Square with all its shopping,restaurants and historical attractions. Go!

The Granbury Square is actually a truly neat area of Granbury, TX…read more It's no surprise that it lies near Lake Granbury - or rather, the Brazos River. The one negative I found was the majority of the road signage. Could be clearer. Put in more adequate places. Nearby is the Hilton Garden Inn where I stayed. If you're able to shell out even more money than that, I was highly intrigued with places like Hotel Lucy, Inn on Lake Granbury, Blue Heron Bed & Breakfast, and that place I really wanted to snooze in at... N on the Square. Without someone to accompany on this Thanksgiving road trip, I did not feel inclined to dig so deep into my pocketbook. The Square itself was decorated rather tastefully for Christmas when I was there 11/25-26/2023. Other points of interest that piqued my interest: + Granbury Opera House + ghost tours (there were at least two that I saw mentioned, but not sure if they were even open) + The Fillin' Station (a burger joint) + several other eateries including a taco shop, coffee bar, a wine bar, saloon, and a few shops and boutiques Public restrooms were available. Parking was free in all of the lots and side streets I drove past. Lastly, I would like to recommend the Ketzler's Schnitzel Haus and Biergarten for dinner. I have a review for that place in queue.

My mother was raised here therefore I've spent a lot of time here even though I don't live in the area now. The north/south and east/west rail road was a huge attraction to the area decades ago. The town had it's own transit system and was a potential site for Texas Tech. Take an hour or so and take a look at the items on display.

When I showed up and found the place closed, I called to check, and Tim kindly agreed to give me a tour even though I was the only guest. He made sure I felt comfortable throughout and kept the experience engaging with local history and stories. We cruised around the Trinity Garden, which ended up being one of my favorite parts. On top of that, he shared fantastic restaurant recommendations. It felt more like exploring the city with a friend than a formal tour. Huge thanks to Tim for making it such a memorable experience. I'd absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for something unique and enjoyable!

I spent about 10 mins trying all the different things our tour guide asked me to practice. I pickled it up very easily. Everyone did so as well. Anyone can ride segways. I wish we had more segways all over the country. Tour started off in the downtown Fort Worth area. We stopped at many historic destinations along the way. Tour guide was very funny and very knowledgeable. My favorite part was by the riverside. Absolutely gorgeous weather to ride Segways and made our trip even more memorable with lots of great pics. Our tour guide took some incredible pics of us. Highly recommend this experience if you're trying to do something cool and fun.

"We can beat them, just for one day We can be heroes, just…read morefor one day" (David Bowie) Ever see that dopey 2001 Pearl Harbor movie with Ben Affleck and  Kate Beckinsale? For my money, the movie's greatest scene revolved around Cuba Gooding, Jr. He played the role of a cook aboard the USS West Virginia when it was torpedoed by Japanese bomber planes on December 7, 1941 in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The movie shows him cradling his dying superior officer in has lap, then in a rage manning an anti-aircraft machine gun and without any training on the weapon, shooting down several Japanese planes. That movie character was based on a real man and the actions depicted in the movie are real. The Navy cook's name was Petty Officer Second Class Doris (Dorie) Miller of Waco, Texas. He was an athlete, and played fullback on his high school team. In 1939, when he was 20 years old, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy as a mess attendant third class. Two years later, his heroism and resulting newspaper accounts of his actions made him an American hero. He was the first Black American to be awarded the Navy Cross for combat valor. Miller was killed in action just two years later when his carrier was sunk by a Japanese submarine. In his honor, the Navy named an escort frigate after him (The USS Miller) in the 1970's. A nuclear powered aircraft carrier to be launched in 2029 will also be named in his honor. The memorial is located on the grounds of Doris D Miller Park on the banks of Brazos River in close proximity to the famous Waco Suspension Bridge. The memorial shows Petty Officer Second Class Miller standing tall and looking straight ahead in front of an abstract metal sculpture representing his ship. There are relief panels nearby that tell the story of this hero's life.

This home was built in 1892, and is still in the original family. This is a High Style House with…read moreQueen Ann stylistic influence. The home was constructed of materials that were typical to the period, the outside walls were cypress wood held in place with square nails, and the home was placed on stone piers which were cemented together. The interior of the home was decorated with materials particular to the area as well, with wallpaper, window and door moldings, and milled tongue and groove wood paneling in the hallways and kitchen. The home was built with five bedrooms and has a basement. There was a small house on the property that was converted to a barn after the Daniel House was built. There were also two other outbuildings, a chicken house and a small wash house, both were frame construction on stone foundations. The wash house is the only outbuilding that remains today. At the turn of the century the kitchen was updated and the back upstairs bedroom was converted to a bathroom and storage room. A stairway was added at this time leading from the kitchen to the upstairs bathroom. A downstairs bathroom was added in the 1920's. Two of the three original chimneys were removed in the 1930's to make way for gas heat, and other than electricity and the bathrooms the house remains much the same today as it did when it was built. Hand-woven rugs even still grace the floors of the home along with other details particular to the era. The home is owned by the grand-daughter of William B. Daniel, Jane Craddock. This home is in the Register of Texas Historic Landmarks as well as being a local landmark. The Daniel House was designated a Granbury Historical Landmark by the City of Granbury Historic Commission September 5, 2000. This information was obtained from their website.

Jefferson David Brown began his career as a businessman in his Uncle's dry goods store and before too long, became a partner. J. D. Brown became sole proprietor of the business in 1881 and moved it to the Granbury Square.
