Angel Mikeska who was my landlord that works for Near Southside Properties is dodging my texts messages regarding getting my security deposit back from my rental property at 2212 W Rosedale. Finally got a text back about where my deposit went days later. Was told that some holes in the wall from screws and nails (that I spackled myself) and some paint was 1200$ worth of work. DO NOT RENT FROM THESE CROOKS. I'd leave 0 stars if possible. One year later and still no deposit back.
I think ArtsGoggle is one of the best art show and fun-for-all events in Fort Worth. This year's event (2024) was as good as it gets. The thing I like best about ArtsGoggle is that is features local artists. Like, very local painters, sculptures, photographers, all the delicious Magnolia restaurants and bars, plus weavers, resale clothiers, knitters, along with student art from the art departments in local high schools. I hope that ArtsGoggle will ALWAYS be this local and funky and doesn't succumb to national fine-arts vendors that you see during Main Street Arts Festivals. Then, this year ArtsGoggle collaborated with Lost n Sound so that there were line-ups of local musicians and bands playing at the ArtsGoggle stages AND at various venues throughout Near Southside. It was lots of fun! If you have never been to an ArtsGoggle event, make plans to go next year. You won't be sorry!
I popped in off the street today to ask what they do. I met Jeff and he was very willing and able to describe the organization. It sounds very much like a Chamber of Commerce but they are more focused on construction in the immediate area than the Chambers Commerce that I know of would be. They do events that bring businesses and residents together in ways that display culture and showcase talent. They are in the planning phase for next year right now, but I was impressed so I calendared the next one!
My husband and I bought our first home in the Fairmount neighborhood because of all the great things the Near Southside, Inc is doing to support local businesses in the area. They also execute community events that are unique to anywhere else in Fort Worth!
I found the front staff very condescending. Constantly telling me I had no insurance coverage, when I am fully aware I do. the front desk staff seems to think we have to tolerate their disrespectfull and condesending manors. Not me. Three visits and an average of 4 hours to wait to each time see the doctor is enough for me. I'm moving on. Thank you but no thank you.
