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.

LOL I think I remember them. Isn’t University the cross street on 7th? The apts sound great. I remember when all bills were paid by apts. Don’t see that anymore. Probably much better built in the 40’s than now. Cheapy construction is mostly what you get. I remember the 7th Street theater and Kleinsmitdt(?) bakery. Loved their gingerbread men cookies.
