There’s been a lot of interest lately in whether blogs can cover local news to any level whatsoever. There are Fort Worth blogs that you can read that will give you some idea of what’s going on in town.  Putting “fort worth blog” into the browser will not necessarily get you the ten most relevant Fort Worth blogs (thought I’m very relieved that now FW Renaissance is at last in the top ten). In an attempt to suggest a reading list for those who want to try to keep up with the ultra-local blog scene, I’ve put together a quick list of the most-locally relevant and most-often updated blogs I know. If you know of any other blogs to recommend please feel free to add the URL and why you like them in the comments. For my purposes, the criteria are

1) Focuses specifically on Fort Worth.

2) Has a credible track record of posting no less than once per week.

3) The writing is decent. I know this is subjective.  That said, here’s the list:

For local and regional politics, club notes, restaurant reviews, etc: West and Clear.

For restaurant reviews: Fort Worth Hole in the Wall and Food and Fort Worth.

For reflections on business and real estate: Fort Worth Real Estate Blog.

For a little bit of everything Cowtown Chronicles.

And for urban design, buildings, and sustainable living Fortworthology.
