Growing Tandy Hills

With

the city’s recent purchase of additional land, the nature area

may finally get the protections it needs.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY MARK HENRICKS

Tandy Hills, a 160-acre parcel of public land famed for downtown views and fields of wildflowers, just grew by 16 acres thanks to a $2.75 million purchase by the city. The deal may someday provide space for more parking and even a visitors’ center, but for now the biggest impact may be to frustrate dumpers, campers — and developers.

The main purpose of the transaction from the city’s standpoint was to protect the area’s ecological integrity by keeping it from getting paved over, said Allison Docker, City of Fort Worth Green Space Champion.

“Development would have added impervious surfaces, increased stormwater runoff, and potentially caused pollution and erosion within the park,” Docker said.

METROPOLIS

That might or might not have happened if the city had not stepped up with $750,000 from the Open Space Program provided by a 2022 bond and $2 million from park fees. Plans for commercial development were in the works, said David Hinson, executive vice president at Younger Partners, the Dallas real estate firm that brokered the deal, but developers had hit some sizable snags.

“We had intended for it to be multifamily or high-density residential of some kind,”

Hinson said, “but it was cost-prohibitive based on providing access, and there’s a lot of topo

on it, too. There would be a lot of grading and retaining walls and things of that nature.”

Currently, the property that includes three addresses on Ben Avenue and one on East Freeway houses only a scattering of tents occupied by people with nowhere else to stay.

A crumbling street and a parking lot for a long-defunct restaurant provide wheeled access for people looking to dump unwanted furniture and other trash.

Don Young, an environmental activist who lives across from the park’s main entrance at 3400

View Street, has long been a champion of the facility through the citizen group Friends of Tandy Hills. Young applauds the city’s purchase and says volunteers plan to start improving the property by uprooting the many non-native trees, bushes, and other vegetation growing on it.

“We’re looking forward to restoring it and getting out the invasive species,” Young said, gesturing at a hedge of privet marring the original prairie landscape.

The new addition will also serve as a buffer to block tents, motorcycles, four-wheelers, dumpers, and other undesirables from the area reserved for nature and hiking. For now, at least, it won’t do much for the main irritation — besides foreign plants — getting Young’s goat. That is photography.

On any sunny spring weekend, Young said you can find a hundred cars parked along View Street, many driven there by photographers seeking splashy fields of flowers and dramatic downtown views as backgrounds for images. There are so many shutterbugs that they trample the flowers while jockeying for superior angles.

“These photographers come in here with families with 10 kids, and they run out in the meadow and ruin it,” Young said.

He also points to well-worn trails where dirt bikes and four-wheeled off-road vehicles have rutted the hilly land, which is supposed to be reserved for foot traffic.

For now, the various non-vegetative invaders may notice little change. The new city property is technically not accessible to the public, although eventually 11 acres or so will be part of the park. The paved sections along Ben Avenue

personnel would be on-site to staff it and police the various undesirable activities.

“The main thing we need is somebody on the property all the time,” he said.

may be used to provide more parking, and it’s possible the city will build a long-sought visitors’ center on the site of the former restaurant.

Young likes the idea of the visitors’ center, in part because it would mean parks department

All this and more will be explored in depth later this year when the city renews its partnership agreement with the Friends of Tandy Hills. Park planners will also examine and revise the 2008 master plan for the area, a process that will provide for community engagement.

Unrelated, ongoing improvements planned include additional trails and signage on the Broadcast Hill parcel adjoining Tandy Hills to the east. The big Tandy Hill news, however, is this current acquisition, which fulfills a longtime vision for expanding the facility.

The latest purchase also exhausts the funding remaining from the city’s 2022 bond program. Further down the road, the parks department proposes that the next bond election

provide another $25 million for purchasing open space.

But even if that money for more parkland comes through, this latest deal probably represents the endgame as far as adding to Tandy Hills’ scope.

“We’ve been asking the city for many years to buy this land,” Young said. “Now I think we’ve gotten all the land that can be gotten.” l

Lively Up the Scene

The Plum Boys’ new EP keeps feel-good vibes

Alive.

BY ANTHONY MARIANI AND JUAN R. GOVEA

Whatever happened to danceable keybs-forward pop? It was quite a thing a couple of years ago before sort of dying off at the hands of the kinds of aggressive musics required for these aggressive times.

But don’t tell The Plum Boys. Frontman Fabian Aguilar, bassist Bobby Elder, multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Caleb Jackson, drummer D’Andre Miskel, and multi-instrumentalist Connor Powell cut their ’80s-pop influences with moody lyricism to arrive at something like Blade Runner at da club.

The twenty- and thirtysomethings have just put out a new record that neatly encapsulates their ethos. Alive’s four tracks were recorded with Brandon Saiz (Leon Bridges backup singer Brandon Marcel, Dallas’ Sam Harvey) at his home studio in Hurst this past year.

Saiz, whom The Plum Boys knew had worked with up-and-coming Fort Worth pop singer-songwriter Averi Burk, approached them after a recent show, “and the rest is history,” Aguilar said.

Having played Tulips FTW, Lola’s, and many other North Texas venues since forming in 2020, including Tannahill’s Tavern & Music Hall, where the boys once opened for ’80s giants Flock of Seagulls, Aguilar and company celebrated the release of Alive at The Post a couple weeks ago and, more recently, at South by Southwest in Austin.

“It felt great,” Aguilar said. “We were glad to be a part of something so busy and exciting. Everyone walking around Austin was there to hear live music. The crowd was pretty packed out the whole night. There was a lot of foot traffic, and because everyone was there for the purpose of music, the crowd was very engaged and giving the energy back.”

After forming at the Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts, The Plum Boys released a single, “Lexi,” in 2021, followed by nearly 20 singles since then. The band put out its debut album, She, in 2022,

then the EP Velvet in 2024, plus four tracks in 2025. Most have accumulated 1,000-plus streams so far.

Alive’s first single, “Snorkel,” is a continuation of the sound the guys have been specializing in since Day 1, with lots of saturated instrumentation and dreamlike synths.

The lyrics are as passionate as ever. “Too much of my life,” Aguilar sings plaintively on the first single, “I’ve been lost inside my mind / Worrying about the life / That I’ve let pass me by / All the blindsided distractions / I let take up my time / Masochism is a crime / Can’t regret it this time / This time.”

One thing that separates Alive from the previous releases is its fearlessness. And urgency.

“We went this route,” Aguilar said, “because after writing a lot about love, we wanted to open our horizons with our writing and kind of force ourselves to go within and really write about things that we think about all the time and stress over: what’s going on in the world, being aware of our character as we go on this journey as musicians trying to figure out what success means, and just straight up just being confused about the world and wanting to grow. I mean, we feel this our most cohesive stuff so far, and we’re just excited to keep growing as musicians and artists and, most importantly, as people.”

Jackson added that Alive is The Plum Boys’ most personal project, but “it’s also a little fantastical and kooky along the way, answering existential questions with the good and bad as being musicians.

“What you’ll find through the EP,” he continued, “is the realities of growing up while feeling good and feeling scared. I think this EP is a favorite from our work, and it’s edgier. Maybe us Plum Boys are becoming men.”

Some of the songs are a couple of years old but still hold up more than well enough, Jackson said. “We want people to forget their worries and dance. Our generation especially is afraid to be zany and outwardly fun and free. We want to give that feeling to people with our work, too. We want people to groove and jam like nobody is watching. We are trying to bring it back.”

SCREEN

Space Rock

The sun is nearly gone, so Ryan Gosling goes interstellar.

BY KRISTIAN LIN

It takes no genius to see the parallels between Project Hail Mary and The Martian. Both movies are based on novels by the same author (Andy Weir). Both have the same screenwriter (Drew Goddard). Both feature men who spend a lot of time talking to themselves because they’re all alone in space and it’s how they keep from going insane. Both have faith in science and human beings. However, only one of them is coming out this week. Maybe Project Hail Mary’s starry-eyed optimism is out of step with the culture, or maybe it’s what we need even more than we did in 2015. I don’t know which, but it’s more than entertaining enough to justify its ticket price and maybe even an upcharge for a premium format.

Like the novel, the movie begins with our man (Ryan Gosling) regaining consciousness on a spaceship with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Eventually, his memory returns in flashbacks that reveal that he’s Ryland Grace, a crackpot academic and middle-school science teacher. Some mysterious space microorganisms called astrophages are absorbing enough of the sun’s energy to endanger all life on Earth, so Ryland has gone on a mission approximately 12 light-years away to the star Tau Ceti to find out why it seems to be the only nearby star unaffected by the astrophages.

Ryland’s laboratory experiments with the astrophages on Earth make him the first human to contact an alien lifeform, but he makes an even bigger discovery at Tau Ceti: a faceless, fivelimbed, short-statured being from an exoplanet orbiting Sirius whose world is facing the same mass extinction as Earth. The creature’s rock-like appearance leads Ryland to name him “Rocky,” and much of the movie is these two organisms trying to figure out how to communicate and work together to save their respective worlds.

Ryland is often talking to this creature when he’s not talking to himself, but if any star can make this look easy, it’s Gosling. The co-star of Barbie is comfortable stumbling around on his spaceship and banging his head on the scientific equipment, but then he can also conjure the necessary gravitas when Ryland eulogizes the two astronauts (Ken Leung and Milana Vayntrub) who undertook the journey with him but died en route. His charm is precisely what the film needs.

Your mileage may vary regarding Weir’s sense of humor, which I liken to a physics professor joking about tachyons at open-mic night. However, one thing the filmmakers here share with him is

a willingness to drill down into the science of it all. Ryland’s expulsion from academia and his recruitment to the project both stem from his papers about the possibility of life without water, so he’s quite chagrined when he pokes an astrophage with a needle and finds it’s mostly made of water.

“It turns out I was wrong about the one original idea I’ve ever had,” he says.

Much of the movie’s 156-minute run time is all about the trial and error that goes into science, with Rocky eventually building a polyhedral cube that allows him to survive and move around aboard Ryland’s ship. Ryland then figures out how to translate Rocky’s vocalizations into English via his computer’s speech software (voiced by James Ortiz). He experiments with putting Meryl Streep’s voice onto Rocky’s words and marvels, “She really can do anything.”

The directing team of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller have engineered huge hits in both animation (The Lego Movie) and live action (21 Jump Street), and here they pull off the difficult task of making comedy in outer space, as Ryland first sees Rocky’s much larger ship and is alarmed to find it mirroring his own ship’s movements. The

setting creates both laughs and visual beauty that we haven’t seen in Lord and Miller’s previous films. When our protagonists reach an exoplanet of Tau Ceti’s, Ryland sees blue, green, and red swirls on the planet’s surface.

The flashbacks that take place on Earth don’t have the same pull, despite Sandra Hüller’s presence as the program director. The revelation about how Ryland came to be on this mission that’s likely to end with his death in space doesn’t have the impact that the filmmakers seem to think it does. Regardless, Ryland comes to realize that he can’t survive on his own, and I’m glad that Rocky is neither a demigod with superior knowledge nor a sidekick who’s there to be cute. Our main characters’ persistence in working together to save their civilizations is what gives Project Hail Mary its honest uplift. l
