Antique & Vintage Finds
Readers’ Choice: Montgomery Street Antique Mall (2601 Montgomery St, Fort Worth, 817-735-9685) Critic’s Choice: Ain’t that Something (341 W Main St, Azle, 817-913-1515) This antique shop is absolutely worth the drive! Ain’t that Something has countless vendor booths with so many treasures inside, all at reasonable prices. Seriously, there is something there for everybody in this shop. Shop owner Marie also hosts regular events at her store and regularly participates in local community events like Main Street Azle Wine Crawl and Sting Fling. It’s so much fun!

At their two newly renovated locations in Fort Worth, Links offers solid services starting at $11 for a single wash with options to upgrade. In addition, they have plenty of complimentary self-service options — including vacuums, mat cleaners, and towels — ensuring your car leaves squeaky clean.
Place to Buy CBD or THC Place to Buy Cigars Readers’ Choice: Thrive Apothecary (126 S Main St, Ste 100, Fort Worth, 817-480-7098) Critic’s Choice: Emerald City Dispensary + Lounge (937 Woodward St, Fort Worth, 817-238-3025) Emerald City is more than a place to buy whichever THC products are currently legal (hint: Delta 9 is apparently OK). As a “consumption lounge,” it’s also a fun place to chill. With trivia on Tuesday nights, DJs on Thursday and Sunday nights, and Kush & Karaoke on Friday nights, Emerald City is a hang zone even the Wicked Witch can appreciate.

The best part: The team is friendly and knowledgeable and won’t look down on you if you don’t know Wolverine’s actual first appearance was The Incredible Hulk No. 180 instead of the commonly accepted 181.

Grocery Store
Readers’ Choice: H-E-B (three area locations) Critic’s Choice: Town Talk Foods (three area locations) Life is hard. Gas is expensive. Do yourself a favor and shop at Town Talk. It’s the Seconds & Surplus of the grocery world, and every visit is an adventure. Sometimes you find gourmet items you wouldn’t normally budget into your grocery list. Other times, just the basics. Either way, it’s worth the trip.

In this economy, we just want our cheap beer, cheap whiskey, cheap cigars, and maybe a snack or two, so for meeting those criteria while also offering crack service, Total Wine & MoreAlliance is our fave. With seemingly unlimited rows of bottom- and top-shelf booze, plus a humidor, lots of handheld bites, and low prices, this TW is hard to beat.

The one exception to this maxim is Pixee Paws Pet Palace. Dogs are often thrilled to be dropped off here for boarding, as the open, crate-free environment is basically just 24/7 playtime for your furry friend.

A Note from State Senator Taylor Rehmet
I did not grow up planning to become a State Senator. I joined the Air Force and worked B-52 bombers in defense of our country. Later, I became a machinist at Lockheed Martin, turning wrenches and working second shift alongside men and women who measure a good day by whether the job got done right. I became active in my union because I learned something on the shop floor that applies just as well on the senate floor…when something is broken, arguing about whose fault it is does not fix the machine.

Voting Phase
The bands and musicians with the most votes, along with additional selections from our small-but-mighty band of music writers, will move on to the Voting Phase. For the full month of December, Weekly readers will pick their favorites from the final list. During both the Nomination Phase and the Voting Phase, this is limited to one ballot per person. (Don’t try to cheat. We always catch you.)

The draft permit, if approved, will codify the conditions under which the area must operate. The permit will not authorize new construction. The executive director has completed the technical review of the application and has made a preliminary decision to prepare a draft permit for public comment and review. The executive director recommends issuance of this draft permit. The permit application, statement of basis, and draft permit will be available for viewing and copying at the Diamond Hill-Jarvis Library, 1300 NE 35th St, Fort Worth, Texas 76106-4552, beginning the first day of publication of this notice.

Comments relating to the accuracy, completeness, and appropriateness of the permit conditions may result in changes to the draft permit. A person who may be affected by the emission of air pollutants from the permitted area may request a notice and comment hearing. The purpose of the notice and comment hearing is to provide an additional opportunity to submit comments on the draft permit. The permit may be changed based on comments pertaining to whether the permit provides for compliance with 30 TAC Chapter 122 (examples may include that the permit does not contain all applicable requirements or the public notice procedures were not satisfied). TCEQ may grant a notice and comment hearing on the application if a written hearing request is received within 30 days after publication of the newspaper notice. The hearing request must include the basis for the request, including a description of how the person may be affected by the emission of air pollutants from the application area. The request should also specify the conditions of the draft permit that are inappropriate or specify how the preliminary decision to issue or deny the permit is inappropriate. All reasonably ascertainable issues must be raised, and all reasonably available arguments must be submitted by the end of the public comment period. If a notice and comment hearing is granted, all individuals that submitted written comments or a hearing request will receive written notice of the hearing. This notice will identify the date, time, and location for the hearing.

This mailing will also provide instructions for public petitions to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to request that the EPA object to the issuance of the proposed permit. After receiving a petition, the EPA may only object to the issuance of a permit which is not in compliance with the applicable requirements or the requirements of 30 TAC Chapter 122. Mailing List.
