I was born and grew up in Fort Worth. Familiar with where you are talking about. It’s just hard to remember as I haven’t been back for 30 years. LOL I think I remember the Parkview Apts. Wasn’t there a children’s museum around there? Maybe next to or across from the Will Rodgers where the Rodeo is held. Also, isn’t Amon Carter museum across from the Kimball?

Will Rogers Auditorium, Amon Carter, MMoA and the Kimball formed a huge “square”. The Children’s Museum (Natural History/Texas History/Planetarium [and now also iMax]) is still there too.

The Parkview Apartments were right behind the Kimball and next to University. I really loved living in Fort Worth back then. Great place to walk or ride the bike. The Parkview was built in the forties, I believe. Hardwood floors and real wood Venetian blinds. All bills paid (have forgotten what that is like). Lots of characters lived there.

The new 7th Street Bridge was built last summer and fall to replace the old bridge which had been deemed unsafe.

As for the museums, the Children's Museum was rebuilt and expanded about five years ago, and they just added a new wing to the Kimball.
