La Villita

La Villita Historic Arts Village is an art community in downtown San Antonio, Texas, United States. There are art galleries, stores selling souvenirs, gifts, custom jewelry, pottery, and imported Mexican folk art, as well as several restaurants in the district. La Villita connects to the San Antonio River Walk and its outdoor venue, the Arneson River Theatre. It is close to the Alamo, the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Rivercenter Mall, and HemisFair Park. It is within walking distance of most downtown hotels. Located on the south bank of the San Antonio River, La Villita was one of San Antonio's first neighborhoods. It was a Native American settlement and then a collection of primitive brush huts, called jacales, for the Spanish soldiers (and their Indian wives and children) stationed nearby at the Mission San Antonio de Valero (an active mission from about 1718 to 1793, now better known as the Alamo). After a flood in 1819 washed away most of the huts, more substantial adobe houses replaced them. Late in the 19th century, European immigrants from Germany, France, and Italy moved into the area and soon became active in business and trades: retailers, bankers, educators, and craftsmen. The variety of architectural styles seen in La Villita's buildings reflects the cultural mix, from the one-room homes of the poor to the larger houses of the prosperous. La Villita deteriorated into a slum in the early part of the 20th century. During the Great Depression, work began on the River Walk, a make-work project funded by the Works Progress Administration which came close to La Villita. The project, led by Mayor Maury Maverick, sponsored a companion effort in 1939 by the National Youth Administration to restore and preserve this colorful part of San Antonio's history. The NYA offered classes in arts and crafts as part of its program. Today La Villita is an arts community, and is included in the National Register of Historic Places listings in Bexar County, Texas. The galleries and shops found in one city block offer art by local and regional artists featuring oil paintings, sculptures, watercolors, metal art, rock art, textiles, copperwares, pottery, jewelry, stained glass, and regional folk art. During four nights of the Fiesta San Antonio each April, La Villita is host to a Night in Old San Antonio with dozens of booths grouped to offer fifteen areas for various kinds of food, such as Sauerkraut Bend, China Town, Irish Flat, and the Mexican Market. The outdoor festival, with its narrow streets decorated with paper flowers and papel picado (cut paper banners), typically attracts 85,000 celebrants, many wearing costumes and unusual hats. The event is a major fundraiser for the San Antonio Conservation Society. Contributing properties Twenty-seven houses or buildings are listed as notable in the district. Some of these are also notable individual listings. References External links Official web site

Cypress Waters station

Cypress Waters station is a DART Silver Line commuter rail station located in Cypress Waters, an exclave of Dallas, Texas surrounding North Lake. Located along Belt Line Road near the northwest corner of the exclave, the station serves a mixed-use development surrounding the lake, and it also features a park-and-ride lot for commuters from neighboring Coppell. The station is decorated with a "water and wind" theme by local artist Chris Judy. History The Silver Line was constructed atop an existing freight rail corridor originally built by the St. Louis Southwestern Railway. The corridor originally stayed north of Belt Line Road and passed through Coppell. Since Coppell was not a DART member and thus would not be able to house a station, the corridor was re-routed approximately 1⁄3 mile (0.54 km) south to Cypress Waters, an area within the city limits of DART member Dallas. In 2022, shortly after construction of the corridor began, developer Billingsley Co. announced plans for a hotel and 2 million square feet (190,000 m2) of office space in a 151-acre (61 ha) area surrounding the station. This served as an extension of an existing 1,000-acre (400 ha) development on the southwestern side of North Lake. The station opened with the Silver Line on October 25, 2025.

Knoll Trail station

Knoll Trail station is a DART Silver Line commuter rail station in Dallas, Texas. The station is located in Far North Dallas near the intersection of Arapaho Road and the Dallas North Tollway. It serves adjacent apartment and office complexes, as well as Prestonwood Town Center. Unlike most DART stations, Knoll Trail does not have a dedicated parking lot. The station is decorated with an "urban refuge" theme. History In 1990, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) purchased a former St. Louis Southwestern Railway corridor between Fort Worth and Plano for a future commuter rail line. In 2006, the city of Dallas proposed a development plan for the Far North Dallas segment of the corridor. The plan proposed three stations on the segment, including one at Knoll Trail. The other two Far North Dallas stations (located at Preston Road and Coit Road) would later be removed from the plan, but Knoll Trail was retained. In 2017, developers for the Dallas Midtown project (located 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south of the rail line at the former site of Valley View Center) proposed an elevated transit system connecting the project and Knoll Trail station. The station opened, alongside the rest of the Silver Line, on October 25, 2025. References External links Dallas Area Rapid Transit – Knoll Trail Station

The station façade prominently features UTD's logo. As part of the construction, nearby Rutford Avenue was extended north over the railroad corridor. DART also constructed a surface parking lot for the station, though a parking garage built by UTD has been proposed. History In 2019, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the Silver Line at the future UT Dallas station site. DART began construction on the site in 2021. On June 10, 2024, DART introduced a bus route which stops at the future station site. The station opened, alongside the rest of the Silver Line, on October 25, 2025.

Lake Tawakoni State Park

Lake Tawakoni State Park ( tə-WAH-kə-nee) is a 376.3 acres (152.3 ha) state park located in Hunt County, Texas, United States, 11.2 miles (18.0 km) north of Wills Point. It is on the south central shore of Lake Tawakoni, a 37,879-acre reservoir on the Sabine River. The park opened in 2002 under a lease agreement with the Sabine River Authority. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department manages the park. History Constructed in 1960, the lake is named after the Tawakoni Native American tribe, who used to live in the area. It was built to provide a source of water for the Dallas area. The park came to media attention in 2007, because of a giant communal spider web on the premises of the park. The web was mostly the work of thousands of long-jawed orb weavers (Tetragnatha guatemalensis), but other spider species were found to have also joined in. On January 22, 2009, a fire swept through the park, burning approximately 125 acres (51 ha) of park property. Nature Animals Lake Tawakoni State Park is teeming with wildlife. Animal species seen in the park include red and gray fox, bobcat, coyote, Virginia opossum, common raccoon, American beaver, eastern fox squirrel, Mexican long-nosed armadillo, white-tailed deer, red-eared slider, pond slider, diamondback watersnake and several species of frogs and toads. Additionally, birders have identified more than 200 species of birds in the park like eastern bluebird, killdeer, northern cardinal, downy woodpecker, and black vulture. The lake holds many different species of fish such as striped bass, white bass, largemouth bass and crappie but is noted for its blue catfish. Plants Bur oak and cedar elm dominate the forest of Lake Tawakoni State Park. Large shrubs Osage orange and farkleberry along with Virginia creeper and poison ivy are in the understory.

Lake Worth (Texas)

Lake Worth is located on the West Fork of the Trinity River. It is entirely inside the city limits of Fort Worth, Texas, United States. History and development Lake Worth was built in 1914 as a reservoir and for recreation. The property is owned by the City of Fort Worth, while the Tarrant Regional Water District controls the reservoir's water rights. The lake has a moderate fluctuation with stained clarity. Submerged vegetation is sparse. There are shallow flats covered with cattails and other emergent species. When first impounded, Lake Worth provided boating and recreation that drew people from throughout the North Texas area. Over time, the lake became more neglected, but the expansion of Fort Worth has recently brought the lake and its parks new popularity. Since the early 1960s, many calls were made for dredging the lake and restoring its recreational potential, but city leaders were either unwilling or unable to fund the expensive proposition. This funding problem ended in the mid-2000s, when it became technologically feasible to access natural gas of the Barnett Shale, which partially lies underneath the lake. A movement of Fort Worth citizens has pushed for retaining a portion of that gas revenue windfall for renovating and developing its public recreational potential. This movement proposes to make improvements such as dredging the lake, setting aside 400 acres (1.6 km2) of additional city-owned land as green space, building trails and other recreational infrastructure, and integrating the overall area into a "world-class" park such as New York's Central Park (the city currently operates a 3,000-acre (12 km2) park on the lake's northern end as the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge. A capital improvement plan and vision plan have been developed to address development of Lake Worth and surrounding property. Mythology Lake Worth is considered the site of one of the best documented cryptozoology sightings. In July 1969, a large creature was sighted by numerous people over several days. The creature was described as part goat, part fish, part man. The locals refer to the animal as the "Lake Worth Monster" or the "Lake Worth Goatman".
