his issue marks the first birthday of 76107. We’re celebrating with a couple of new features. “This and

That,” a column by Mary Rogers, makes its debut. Mary is a longtime journalist and columnist, but beyond that, she’s a storyteller. In her personal and personable manner, she shares news of 76107. Like many fine writers, she’s a passionate reader, and she even clues us in to some of her favorite books she’s recently read.

We’ve also added an “Upcoming Events” feature, which doesn’t pretend to list everything that’s going on this spring. It’s a sampling of activities you might be interested in, whether you prefer to spend time in museums or the garden (or both).

Also in this issue, we continue to focus on prominent people and places. Rozanne Rosenthal certainly falls into the former category; she and her entire family are pillars of Fort Worth philanthropy. The Van Zandt Cottage, on Crestline Road near Farrington Field, may be a bit off the beaten track, but its history dovetails with Fort Worth’s own.

Speaking of historic buildings, the American Institute of Architects Fort Worth Chapter’s annual home tour in late April features a renovated 1920s bungalow in 76107, among other houses. The AIA’s Center for Architecture, also

in the ZIP, hosts public events intended to increase knowledge of design.

As always, “New & Notable” brings you details about new restaurants, construction updates and more.

There’s no need to tackle all these goings-on with an empty stomach. The “Food & Drink” feature, which samples some favorite breakfast spots, is sure to whet your appetite.

And now, please join us as we embark on our second year.

ON THE COVER

What a great way to start your day —

with breakfast out. This one’s from Brownstone.

And you thought 7th Street was busy now Dallas-based real estate developer Centergy Retail has purchased 30 acres on the banks of the Trinity River, with plans to build a mixed-use development featuring retail, restaurants, a hotel, residences and offices. The tract of land is bounded by the Trinity River to the east, 7th Street to the south, railroad tracks to the west and Kansas Street to the north. No retailers have been confirmed, but Centergy Retail says it will look to the nearby West 7th corridor for inspiration. Construction is expected to begin on the 2-million-plus-square-foot project in early 2014. centergyretail.com

Eating out in West 7th Dining choices in the West 7th development will expand as

early as this spring. Look for chef Jon Bonnell to open Waters, a coastal seafood restaurant, in late March at the southwest corner of Crockett and Currie streets. Bonnell brings with him chef Jerome Manigault from Natalie’s restaurant in Camden, Maine, who will apply his talents to oysters, shrimp and redfish dishes, among others. A tentative opening date is set for March 29. 2901 Crockett St.817-984-1110waterstexas.com American F + B (food and beverage), a new concept eatery from Consilient Restaurants, the creators of Fireside Pies, is slated to open in midsummer on the southeast corner of Currie and Crockett streets, with chef Jeffery Hobbs at the helm. Hobbs comes to Consilient from Sissy’s in Dallas. consilientrestaurants.com

National sandwich chain Which Wich will take over space in the 2900 block of West 7th Street, between Sweet Tomatoes and Wink Threading Salon. The restaurant offers more than 50 sandwiches, including low-calorie and vegetarian choices. Look for construction to begin later this spring. whichwich.com

Making progressFor anyone living or working in the Cultural District,

construction surrounding the Kimbell Art Museum and the UNT Health Science Center might seem never-ending, but completion of both projects approaches.

Situated off Montgomery Street, the new 1.75-acre green space at UNT Health Science Center is expected to be finished by May. It will feature reflecting pools, meandering sidewalks and tree-lined paths.

At the Kimbell, the construction team is working to finish the new Renzo Piano wing, directly west of Louis Kahn’s 1972 original structure, by fall. The addition will serve as a gallery space for temporary exhibitions, while the Kahn building will house the permanent collection. Constructed primarily of concrete and glass, Piano’s pavilionlike structure is designed to complement Kahn’s work and will feature striking views of the original building. Glass passageways will connect the two sections: one a pair of large, natural-light-filled galleries and the other a partially underground, grass-roofed exhibition space, the auditorium, library and education spaces.

D Bounce at Abundio’s StudioIf you’re seeking an atypical workout, you might want

to check out D Bounce, a new trampoline class at Abundio’s Studio. Developed by instructor Stephanie Daulton Perry, the workout is a mix of moves from Pilates, barre, kickboxing and cardio coupled with bouncing on a personal-sized trampoline. “Because we are constantly moving and because we are incorporating moves from a variety of exercise regimes, D Bounce keeps your muscles guessing and never allows them to fall into a groove,” Perry explains. “The results are almost immediate. You’ll be toned in areas you’ve had trouble with in the past, all while having a blast on a trampoline.” Perry already has begun private lessons and will start 45-minute group classes in early April in a new space that the studio is renovating. $20 per class.

he second Wednesday evening of every month, folks filter into the color-filled Center for Architecture on

West 7th Street. After visiting for a few minutes and scrutinizing an architecture-related exhibit, they align themselves in rows of red-orange chairs to spend an hour or so learning about design.

Design Talk, hosted by Joe and Tracy Self, is a regular program at the center. As principals of Firm 817, Joe is an architect, Tracy an interior designer. The Center for Architecture houses the headquarters of the American Institute of Architects Fort Worth Chapter, of which Joe is a member.

The monthly talks have been taking place at the center since February 2012. They got their start as a radio show of the same name on KTCU, airing from 2006 through 2009.

As radio hosts, Tracy and Joe invited contractors, lighting designers and other architects to join them as they talked about design and took questions via phone and email.

“It was a lot of fun,” says Joe. They started the program because his wife, he says, was a little frustrated about a lack of public awareness of design.

“Not frustrated,” Tracy interrupts. “We had a lot of knowledge, and we wanted to know more. It makes design so

much more fun” to continue to learn and to share knowledge with others.

“It’s an effort to expand the general public’s knowledge of design.”

The events are intended for the public rather than for architects. Past talks have focused on working with historic buildings, revitalizing neighborhoods, television and stage design, and the Trinity River. They attract upward of 30 people, some of them regulars — including a former pilot, contractors, engineers and artists. Such a mix makes for good questions and “a lot of chatting afterward,” Tracy says.

AIA Fort Worth also hosts an annual golf tournament, design awards, continuing education for architects, a monthly happy hour and exhibitions. “Sketch Books,” a display of architects’ drawings showing their thought processes, continues through March 19. “A House For ...” runs March 23-April 30.

The Selfs believe that the more knowledge there is about design, the better off people will be. Whether they’re members of a homeowners association or a building committee, for example, they’ll be better equipped to make judgments and understand their city. Says Tracy, “I want everybody to be able to think and make good decisions.”

Home tourFrom the street, the Arlington Heights bungalow looks much like others nearby — except for the raised walls and clerestory windows visible on either side.

The 1925 Craftsman bungalow was “very small and very dark” before Firm 817’s Joe and Tracy Self remodeled and expanded it, Joe says. They added a second living space and a

covered porch to the existing three-bedroom, two-bath. It’s one of four homes open to the public during the

AIA Fort Worth Tour of Homes in late April. The homes were selected by architects, and two of them are the residences of the architects who designed them.

Here, the aim was to increase the square footage (from 1,500 to 2,000) while retaining the house’s sense of scale and its appropriateness to the neighborhood.

The remodel involved moving a dining-room wall to open up the space, installing transoms and raising the ceilings of the kitchen and master bedroom, and

putting in clerestories, all to increase the light inside. The fireplace wall was redone and modifications that had been made to the house over time were eliminated. “We made it more Craftsman style than it was,” says Joe.

Homeowners Trent and Beth Prim wanted something that lived modern while remaining mindful of the dwelling’s historical nature.

“We squeezed a lot of house into what little we had,” Trent says. “With two young kids and a dog, it gets very cozy. But there’s enough separation that if you

wanted to, you could get away.”Then there’s the wow factor — the low-

key facade gives little clue to the interior spaciousness.

Now that it’s been opened up and expanded, “the house feels very inviting,” Trent says. “It feels like home.”

Also on the tour are an Eastside home renovated by Lee Roy Hahnfeld, Brandon Allen’s renovated Ryan Place home and Norman Ward’s hilltop contemporary in Cresson.

The bungalow was opened up to let in the light, with raised ceilings and clerestory windows contributing to the effect. Photos this page courtesy of Brandon Burns

Each generation of Rosenthals inspires the next.

ozanne Rosenthal and her husband, Billy, haven’t just worked tirelessly on behalf of Fort Worth’s cultural, educational and medical community. This philanthropic

power couple has also has instilled a tradition of giving in their high-octane offspring.

The first chapter of their storied partnership began at the University of Texas, where she studied education and he earned a degree in business. Upon bringing his Bay City-bred bride home in 1975, native son Billy helped run his family’s business, Standard Meat Company, which eventually merged with Sara Lee. Rozanne taught kindergarten until she had her first child and became an indefatigable volunteer.

“My in-laws, Manny and Rosalyn, had been so active in supporting the Fort Worth Symphony, arts and the building of Bass Hall,” says Rozanne. “It was an easy decision for me to become involved in the community, too.”

She also credits her parents, David and Henrietta Krumholz, as “great examples for me. Mom volunteered for everything and served as president of the school board.” Her 91-year-old mother now lives in Fort Worth, as does Billy’s mom, whom Rozanne describes as “still a little dynamo.”

Rozanne and Billy’s commitment to volunteerism shows no sign of abating. On April 6, Rozanne will once again will don her running shoes in pursuit of her passion: the Fort Worth Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. As the woman responsible for bringing Komen to Cowtown, Rozanne says she appreciates each step, skip and sprint the hundreds of participants will take around the Ridgmar Mall neighborhood during this 21st annual race to fight breast cancer.

“When you see your best friend twice with no hair and mouth sores, you know you have got to do something,” says Rozanne. She reached out to the Dallas-based organization when her former college roommate, Joan Katz, battled the disease (Katz is a two-time breast cancer survivor). The efforts of these two cancer-fighting champions have led the Fort Worth Komen branch to raise more than $21 million for research, education and support.

Billy, meanwhile, considers himself semiretired, though he

still works with his son at their investment company, the Penrose Group. He also sits on the board of Cook Children’s Medical Center.

The Rosenthals have set a potent example of philanthropy for their children. Their oldest daughter, Ashli, and husband Todd Blumenfeld, who met at Tulane University and now live in Fort Worth, are parents to daughter Elanor Rose, who turns 2 in April; the couple will welcome their second child in August. Like her paternal grandparents, Ashli has become active on the board of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra; she will chair this year’s benefit gala.

“We are so proud of Ashli for carrying on Manny and Rosalyn’s tradition of supporting the arts.” (Early benefactors of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition and the symphony, the elder Rosenthals also supported education as significant donors to TCU; Washington University in St. Louis; and Texas A&M, Manny’s alma mater.) Billy and Rozanne’s son, Ben, also based here, sits on the boards of the Trinity Valley School and the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History; he plans to marry Madolin McWherter in June. The Rosenthals’ youngest, Maddie, graduated from the University of Virginia a few years after Ben. Maddie will finish medical school at the end of the semester; she hopes to do her residency somewhere

in the state — as her parents hope she will.In addition to their contemporary Westover Hills home on the

Shady Oaks Country Club golf course, which Billy and Rozanne built 8 1/2 years ago, the couple own a home in Aspen, where they spend upward of four months a year. (“Less now since our granddaughter was born,” says Rozanne with an affectionate laugh.) In Colorado, they relish their time outdoors, particularly skiing, biking and taking long walks.

Despite their hectic schedules, the duo still manage frequent date nights, going out to eat and then catching a movie when here in Fort Worth.

“Billy has been a meat supplier to lots of wonderful local restaurants,” says Rozanne. “We especially love Charleston’s Restaurant, Fred’s, El Rancho Grande and Joe T.’s.”

To her considerable gratification and pride, all three adult generations of Rosenthals continue to devote considerable time and resources to Beth-El Congregation. In 1997, Billy and Rozanne donated the seven acres of land where the temple now sits. Ashli and Todd married there in 2009.

“We truly love this community, and it’s been such a privilege to play a part with all of these wonderful organizations,” says Rozanne. “People are so very generous in Fort Worth.”

Van Zandt Cottage earns National Register status for 1936 restoration effort, the first in Fort Worth. And now it’s being restored again.

Preservation Prize By Anita Robeson

K.M. Van Zandt, above

he little house that visionary businessman K.M. Van Zandt and his family had lived in during the 1870s was uninhabited and dilapidated when Fort Worth’s bang-up Frontier Centennial celebration practically landed on its front porch.

The year was 1936, and all across the state, Texans were putting up markers and hosting celebrations to observe the centennial of Texas’ independence from Mexico. Not to be outdone by Dallas, site of the official state celebration, Fort Worth built a “frontier” theme park west of downtown that included a burlesque show, a circus arena and Indians on horseback attacking a stagecoach.

Land for the celebration was purchased by the city from the K.M. Van Zandt Land Co., and in the southeast corner of the property, at what is now 2900 Crestline Road, sat the old house.

With all the hoopla going on, the house might have been forgotten had it not been for the Women’s Division of the centennial, which chose the Julia Jackson Chapter #141, United Daughters of the Confederacy, and the Frances Cooke Van Zandt Chapter, Daughters of the Republic of Texas, to sponsor a restoration.

That restoration, although not authentic, recently earned the Van Zandt Cottage a place on the important National Register of Historic Places as an early, if not the first, effort to preserve a site

University Drive and Trinity Park, is also a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark. In 2002, it earned city landmark status for being the oldest home in Fort Worth on its original site. The city’s Parks and Community Services Department owns it, and it’s operated by the Log Cabin Village, which is across University from the Fort Worth Zoo.

No one knows what the house, built between 1856 and 1869, looked like when it was new, but in 1936 it was described as having a central corridor with two rooms on each side. That dogtrot style suggested a log house, but it wasn’t built of logs. The 1936 restoration, overseen by architect Joseph R. Pelich, took about a month. Improvements were made to the house’s foundation and windows, siding was put on, and the back porch was enclosed. When shutters were added and window frames were painted white, the house was turned into “a romanticized version of its former self,” consultant Susan Allen Kline of Fort Worth wrote in the National Register nomination. The word “cottage” wasn’t associated with the house until the 1960s.

Khleber Miller Van Zandt, 1836-1930, served as a major in Gen. Hiram B. Granbury’s Brigade during the Civil War and later was a prominent banker, businessman and civic leader in Fort Worth. His many accomplishments included playing a key role in bringing several railroads to town, co-founding the city’s first newspaper and building one of the state’s first streetcar systems. In 1871, he bought the land that would be the site of the Frontier Centennial and later become the city’s Cultural District. His father, Isaac Van Zandt, laid most of the groundwork for the treaty that annexed Texas to the United States.

Although routine repairs had been made to the house since the restoration, by 2000 the foundation, siding, windows

The Van Zandt Cottage, built between 1856 and 1869, is undergoing a second restoration.

and other materials used in 1936 were not looking so good. About that time, Jane Cranz, a civic leader and granddaughter of K.M. Van Zandt, rallied family members and others interested in preservation to form Van Zandt Cottage Friends, a nonprofit group dedicated to working with the city to restore the cottage back to the way it looked in 1936.

The Friends’ accomplishments in preservation and fundraising have been praised by Log Cabin Village museum director Kelli Pickard as “an excellent example of the importance of partnerships, preservation and stewardship of our historic resources.”

Ted Gupton of Fort Worth, Friends president and a Van Zandt family member, says the group also wants to promote education about the history and culture of Fort Worth and its settlers. Gupton especially wants people to learn about the growth of the city on the west side, home of the Cultural District. “The west side makes such a contribution to the city,” he says.

In 2005, preservation architect Art Weinman of Fort Worth did a comprehensive study of the house, and a restoration plan was developed. The foundation was leveled and repaired in 2007, and work has been done on the floor framing, windows, porch and stairs.

Next to be restored are the window shutters, the back door and the interior, including furnishings. Period-appropriate wallpaper will be hung, electric and HVAC systems installed and the

exterior painted. The Friends also want to improve the look of the approximately 2-acre site.

Visitors are welcome to look around the outside of the house. The property also includes two granite markers recounting the Civil War service of K.M. Van Zandt and of Gen. H.P. Mabry.

The cost of finishing the restoration, setting up a maintenance endowment, making site improvements and having a historical interpreter at the cottage for scheduled tours is approximately $350,000, Pickard says. The Friends so far have donated about $50,000. The goal is to have the restoration done in three years, but Gupton says that timeline depends on the Friends’ ability to raise additional money.

Cover Model Contest finalist for Medi-Weightloss Clinics says after losing 62 pounds, she has gained

her life and health back!One year ago, Tricia Trammell made a resolution to lose weight and get healthy. Before finding Medi-Weightloss Clinics Fort Worth, Tricia was 186 pounds.

“I was always exhausted and everything hurt,” says Trammell. “All I could do was go to work, then come home and simply crash because I had no energy left over to give my husband and children at the end of the day. I felt powerless with no hope for the future of my health.”

Then Tricia found Medi-Weightloss Clinics Fort Worth. She quickly began losing weight, and started looking and feeling better than she had in a decade.

Today, Tricia has lost over 62 pounds, and is a finalist in a national Medi-Weightloss Cover Model Contest.

“I have people ask me about my transformation almost every day,” says Tricia. “I am so grateful for Medi-Weightloss Clinics.Their program is one that truly works!”

Real Eye-openersA room with a view

A museum is a place for visual enrichment, and the restaurant at the Modern incorporates that mission. Cafe Modern overlooks architect Tadao Ando’s gorgeous reflecting pool, making it, arguably, the prettiest place for brunch in Fort Worth.

Chef Dena Peterson runs a kitchen that focuses on local and seasonal ingredients. All eggs are cage-free, and many of the ingredients come from local growers. In keeping with the mission to adjust the menu to the calendar, the

menu changes every three months. The current brunch menu includes pineapple upside-down pancakes, served with a brown-sugar rum sauce; a mushroom quiche; and Benedict Florentine, which smothers the expected poached eggs and toasted English muffins with an unexpected creamed spinach. Sip on a Bellini or an Irish coffee while you wait for your breakfast to arrive.

This is a dress-up place and, particularly on Sundays, a place for formal family gatherings. (Think little girls in long dresses and big hair bows.)

For hearty appetitesWhether you’re going to be hitting the Trinity

Trail for a long bike ride or scouring the aisles of a flea market for treasure, Fred’s Texas Cafe is a great place to fuel up before an active Sunday.

Brunch, served Sunday only, is a hearty affair. Fred’s “outlaw chef,” Terry Chandler, created a menu with selections like chicken-fried steak and eggs; rib-eye steak and eggs; and the signature breakfast, quail and eggs, which features two skillet-cooked birds with salsa, along with two eggs any style, and biscuits and gravy. The migas plate is another hearty meal, piled high with eggs and sided with fried potatoes and exceptionally good borracho beans. For slightly more delicate appetites, Fred’s recently added a French toast plate.

You can choose from two dining spaces: the familiar small red building with the wide windows and the yellow-vinyl-covered seats or the slicker, covered patio. The “cold-ass beer” that Fred’s touts might not go with breakfast, even one that features an 8-ounce rib eye, but the mimosas sure work well.

The Ol’ StalwartOl’ South Pancake House has been serving pancakes

and more 24 hours a day for exactly 50 years. A study in brown, this place looks like it has not been touched by decorator hands in all those years, but that doesn’t stop the crowds, who, even though there are multiple dining rooms, are lined up waiting for a seat on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

The crowd here is mixed: TCU students, families, seniors and even the occasional celebrity.

The menu is large, with everything from buckwheat pancakes to cheese blintzes, from corn cakes to corned beef hash. The big draw, however, is the German pancake (and its little sister, the Dutch baby). The German pancake is an egg-based crepe dressed tableside by servers creating a show, much like the entertainment waiters in high-end establishments used to provide preparing a Caesar salad. The German’s topping of fresh-squeezed lemon, whipped butter and powdered sugar is so yummy it can take restraint not to pick up the plate and lick when that last bit of delectable pancake is gone.

For early risersIf you start work at 7 a.m., you’ve got plenty of time for

breakfast washed down by two — make that three — cups of coffee at Daybreak Cafe & Grill, which opens at 5 a.m.

With just nine or 10 tables, the tiny restaurant on White Settlement Road is your basic hole-in-the-wall. The decor is early taxidermy mingled with an eclectic mix of photos and Texana. No pretentions here, which is part of the allure for the regulars, who show up like clockwork every morning for breakfast and conversation with friends. The service is fast, the food is solid, and the prices absolutely cannot be beat. The All American breakfast — two eggs, hash browns, toast, and bacon or sausage — is under $4. For diners with a big hunger, there’s a pork chop plate with two eggs and sides for under $5.

In addition to traditional American breakfasts, Daybreak serves up excellent Mexican breakfasts, including chilaquiles, migas, breakfast burritos and smaller breakfast tacos. Many customers pick up breakfast burritos to go.

A little something sweetThe Swiss Pastry Shop has been sweetening life for Fort Worth

residents for 40 years. Breakfast options at this unassuming eatery include scrambled

eggs, omelets, pancakes — all the usual suspects, except for waffles — plus the unusually named Grandma Bunion’s pancakes. Served only on Saturdays, they are a get-your-body-moving combination of whole wheat, oats, flax, millet, sunflower seeds, walnuts, raisins and molasses.

But it’s not pancakes, healthful or otherwise, that make the Swiss different from other breakfast spots; it’s the pastries. Five bakers arrive at 3 a.m. and begin rolling out a bevy of baked goods. Sticky buns, cinnamon rolls, cream cheese pockets, cherry sweet rolls, apple strudel, almond sticks, chocolate crescents, squirrel muffins and so much more. Squirrel muffins? Another Saturday-only offering, squirrel muffins include flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, raisins and cinnamon. Swiss Pastry Shop does have a way with names.

For the sophisticateLocated in the bustling West 7th

development, Brownstone restaurant has an urban, big-city feel.

On a recent warm Sunday morning, customers relaxed at tables outside, one couple soaking up sunshine and Bloody Marys while their dog rested at their feet. Brownstone has a Build Your Own Bloody Mary menu. Select your brand of liquor (choose from vodka, tequila or bourbon), your tomato juice base, your spicy ingredients (horseradish, Sriracha, cayenne,Worcestershire, etc.) and garnishes.

Inside, Brownstone is high-ceilinged and sleek. Most items on the menu have a slight twist from the expected. Eggs ranchero are served on cilantro rice. The roast pork enchilada with salsa verde is tricked out with feta. And the sinfully rich French toast begins with bread pudding, which is then sliced, battered and pan-fried.

Brunch on Saturdays starts March 16.

nyone who travels Camp Bowie Boulevard or West 7th Street in the Cultural District knows

that the luxury apartment community at Museum Place just west of Eddie V’s is racing to the finish line.

All 217 apartment homes at what’s now called Vue du Musée are on schedule to be completed by the end of May, with the first homes ready for April occupancy. These first ones open onto Arch Adams and Sixth streets, says property manager Hazel Roberts.

Don’t expect “party central” here, warns Hazel, but do look for interesting retail and service businesses and a mix of eateries in the heart of this apartment community.

Lots of fountain-filled outdoor dining areas are meant to attract diners and more restaurants to the site. Right now developers are interested in Main Street Bistro & Bakery, Primebar, and Boca Chica Tapas & Tequila, she says, with more to come.

Oh, and because girls don’t live by bread alone, of course you’ll find a nail spa, too. More later.

Who knew?In 1911, the Fort Worth Driving Park, a popular

horse-racing track, was located behind what is now Montgomery Plaza on the eastern edge of 76107. There, on a January morning, thousands of people

paid 50 cents each to watch French aviator Roland Garros lift off in a Bleriot monoplane.

Other pilots who had arrived by train for the Great Aviation Meet, a traveling troupe dedicated to introducing the public to the wonders of the flying machine, refused to take off in the high winds that buffeted the city that day.

“It was the first flight in Fort Worth,” says researcher Bill Morris, who along with Jim Hodgson, director of the Veterans Memorial Air Park, has led the charge to have this almost forgotten bit of Fort Worth history commemorated with a Texas Historical Commission marker.

The marker has been approved, and it looks as if a long-unnamed park at the corner of Carroll and Mercedes streets, across from the Montgomery Plaza complex, will become “First Flight Park.”

“The developer may even be interested in putting up a life-size replica of Garros’ plane,” says Jim.

Bill believes the marker dedication might not happen until Jan. 12, 2014, the 103rd anniversary of that historic first flight. More later.

Your neighbor needs helpThe Tarrant Area Food Bank has been a 76107 cornerstone for years,

dishing out more than half a million meals and snacks each month to 13 hungry counties.

On March 28 at 11 a.m., you’ve got another chance to give this neighbor a boot up by attending the 11th annual Empty Bowls luncheon. You know the drill: Sample soup from about 30 vendors and take home a wonderful bowl crafted by a local artisan.

You don’t even have to go far to help. Find this fundraiser at the Amon G. Carter Jr. Exhibits Hall in the Will Rogers Memorial Center, right here in 76107.

Lisa and Andrew Fuld, who happen to live in 76107 and own 4 Color Press right down the street from the food bank, are this year’s chairmen.

Author. Author. Nancy and Ted Hankamer raised their girls Kay and

Sarah in 76107 and have never moved. Now this family is celebrating, and you’re invited to the March 13 party from 4:30 to -6 p.m. at the Deborah Beggs Moncrief Garden Center at the Botanic Garden.

Kay, an Arlington Heights High grad, is now Kay Honeyman, and her first novel, The Fire Horse Girl, is just out, published by Arthur A. Levine Books, an imprint of Scholastic. Could there be a better reason to party?

Kay became interested in Chinese-American history when she and her husband adopted their two children from China through the Gladney Center for Adoption: first Jack and

very recently Lily. Kay’s book is the story of

Jade Moon, a Chinese girl born under the unlucky sign of the fire horse, and her journey to 1923 America, where she is detained at Angel Island.

Full of humor and packed with action, this debut novel is classified as “young adult,” and some readers say it has “crossover” potential. So what does crossover mean? Think the Twilight series, The Hunger Games, Pretty

Little Liars and The Mortal Instruments. Barnes & Noble will be at the party selling books, and

of course Kay will sign a copy for you. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Gladney Center.

On my nightstandI just read Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, and the characters were

so rich I hated to finish it. But then I knew it would be good before I read a word, because it was recommended by Becky Brumley, the reading champion of the Red Oak Foundation on Carroll Street.

I moved on to The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom, recommended by my neighbor Leigh Ann Connally, a fearsome reader. That’s another good read. It begins in 1790, when an orphaned Irish girl becomes an indentured servant on a tobacco plantation.

Now I’ve started Queen of America by Luis Alberto Urrea, the elegant writer who also penned The Hummingbird’s Daughter.

Calendarupcoming events

There’s no shortage of things to do right here in our own backyard. Here are a few:

76107

Fort Worth Show of Antiques & Art

It sounds like a contradiction in terms: an antiques show featuring modernism. But somehow, for a show at its midcentury mark, midcentury modern offerings seem appropriate.

“Modernism is old,” explains Jan Orr-Harter, director of the 50th Annual Fort Worth Show of Antiques & Art, which this year will increase its emphasis on midcentury modern. (You may remember the event as the Dolly Johnson Antique & Art Show.)

“It’s a very desirable category of antiques because of the design. It’s also very functional.”

Midcentury modern traces its roots to the late 19th and early 20th centuries — or, if you want to go further back, to American primitives, with their straight lines and simple materials, she says.

Even though this year midcentury furnishings and other objets will constitute the show’s largest category, lovers of more elderly items needn’t feel slighted. With 110 exhibitors in its new, larger space (Will Rogers’ West Texas Room), the show offers a rich variety of styles, including American, French, Western, industrial and more. Art, including examples from the Fort Worth School (1945-55), will be another focal point.9 a.m.-7 p.m. March 8Happy hour party 4-7 p.m.9 am.-5 p.m. March 9Will Rogers Memorial Center3400 Burnett-Tandy Drive$7, good for both daysParking $8, reimbursed for carpools of 3 or more817-291-3952fortworthshow.com

Fort Worth Botanic GardenThe lettuce is planted, the bulbs you put in last fall are blooming, bags of mulch are stacked and ready to distribute — right?

OK, maybe not. If your garden’s not that pulled together yet, don’t worry. Plenty of springtime activities at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden will help you figure out what to plant and how to plant it. You can buy some of your favorite plants or, if you don’t want to get your hands dirty, just look and enjoy. • YardSmart Seminar Learn from local experts about growing vegetables and saving water while keeping the landscape looking nice.

At the museums

The Amon Carter hosts “Big Pictures,” a collection of 50 large-scale photographs spanning nearly 150 years. The exhibition examines the theory embraced by many photographers, including William Henry Jackson and Margaret Bourke White, that larger images engage the audience more by depicting greater detail and simultaneously drawing them into the scene.

The Modern begins a new FOCUS series on graffiti artist Barry McGee. Although best known for his guerilla-style murals on inner-city buildings, McGee boasts a degree in painting and printmaking from the San Francisco Art Institute and is a sculptor and painter. The exhibition, featuring a collection of his drawings, paintings and sculptures, will be in the first-floor galleries adjacent to Martin Puryear’s Ladder. March 31-June 2. $10. Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, 3200 Darnell St., Fort Worth; 817-738-9215 or themodern.org

Grackle Art GalleryIt’s a novel way to approach an exhibition. In his Arlington Heights home, photographer and sculptor Matthew J. Sacks mounts art exhibits that open to the public for only one evening (sometimes longer, by appointment). There’s nothing art-snobby about these casual events. Sacks moves all the furniture out of the way, and the crowd tends to spill over into the backyard. Billy Hayes and Paul Leicht help with the planning and organizing.

There’s not even any money involved, Sacks says. “Occasionally work does sell out of there, but we have no financial interest.” Rather than selling, he aims to promote local artists. “We do stress a professional level.”6-11 p.m. March 16: Adam Neese, photography,April 13: Jessica Fuentes, multimedia,4621 El Campo Ave. 817-738-5259

Gallery NightIt happens twice a year: The art scene spills out of the galleries and museums and onto the streets. Gallery Night is one big party (or maybe it would be more accurate to say a lot of little parties), with shops and restaurants joining the usual venues in displaying sculpture and paintings. The event takes place March 23, with most participants open from noon to 9 p.m. Check the museums for hours and admission, but for the most part, it’s free. fwada.com
