Old Souls

Since it’s National Adopt a Senior Pet Month, we thought we’d celebrate.

BY KATHERINE BROWN

In honor of National Adopt a Senior Pet Month, we’d love to direct you to some animals and their caretakers at the Humane Society of North Texas.

Animals are considered senior pets at age 7 and older, and senior pets are a small percentage of intakes at the Humane Society: only 4% senior dogs and 2% senior cats. Cassie Davidson, senior director of marketing, communications, and public relations for the Humane Society, feels older animals are just special.

“As a shelter worker,” she says in an email, “we’ve seen so many animals come through our doors, each with their own story. But the ones that stick with us the most are the senior dogs and cats, those who have spent years by someone’s side only to find themselves here, waiting for a second chance. They come in with gentle eyes, wise and calm, looking at us as if they’re saying, ‘I’ve been loved before. Can it happen again?’ ”

A common reason senior animals may come to the shelter is due to finances. People may not be able to afford senior pet care.

After coming to the shelter, it typically doesn’t take long for senior animals to find a home. The average length of stay for senior dogs and cats at the Humane Society is about 27 days. This amount of time is less than the average stay for younger dogs and cats.

However, Davidson acknowledges the challenges of getting senior animals adopted.

“Sure, we face setbacks,” she says. “Some senior pets come in with health issues or limitations that can make them seem less adoptable. And, yes, there are a few that will stay with us longer, waiting, but to see a senior animal get adopted is nothing short of incredible. They settle into a new home with an almost immediate sense of appreciation, as if they know this second chance isn’t guaranteed.”

Most senior animals do eventually get adopted. At the Humane Society, that amounts to 76% of senior dogs and 86% of

METROPOLIS

senior cats. The remaining senior animals are transferred to animal welfare groups, given back to their owners if stray, or continue waiting to be adopted.

There are advantages to owning a senior pet, too.

“They’re past the puppy or kitten stage, already housetrained, and they’re looking for stability, not adventure,” Davidson says. “For many people, they’re exactly what a family needs.”

Davidson hopes more people will consider adopting senior animals.

“Every day,” she says, “we see the impact a home has on them. They might have gray whiskers and a slower pace, but they still have so much love left to give. All they need is someone willing to give them the space to show it. So, if you’re considering adding a new pet to your family, we hope you’ll think about adopting a senior. You won’t just be changing their life — they’ll change yours, too.”

You can contact the Humane Society of North Texas by emailing Communications@ HSNT.org or by calling 817-332-4768. You can also visit HSNT.org. l

Davidson: “Don’t let his age fool you. Doc is full of spunk! The 8-year-old loves belly rubs, games of fetch, and gets along well with other dogs. However, he prefers a kitty-free home.”

Davidson: “This bonded pair who are both 10 is the perfect combination of fun and calm. Jill is a sweet, serene soul who spreads peace wherever she goes, while Jack loves playing fetch and being your loyal buddy. When it’s time to relax, Jack is more than happy to laze around the house. Jack isn’t a fan of kitties, so a feline-free home would be ideal for him and Jill.”

Davidson: “6-year-old Ellie is a gentle giant at 80 pounds of pure love. She adores her humans, especially children, and is incredibly well-behaved, easygoing, and affectionate. She’s happiest lounging on cool floors or going on car rides with her favorite people.”

Additional information concerning this application is contained in the public notice section of this newspaper.

Davidson: “13-year-old Yasmin is the ultimate cuddle bug! She loves meeting new people and thrives on affection. Her warm personality will win you over instantly.”

Davidson: “12-year-old Sam is a social butterfly who loves meeting everyone. He adores a good chin scratch and can often be found basking happily in the sun.”

Davidson: “Shy at first, 9-year-old Petey quickly warms up and transforms into the ultimate lap dog who loves to cuddle all day. He does well with other small dogs but isn’t a fan of young children, as their energy can stress him out.”

Fo’ Shiz

Ding-dong! The witch is Wicked in this powerhouse musical.

BY KRISTIAN LIN

I’ll admit I was skeptical when I heard that they were breaking up the film version of Wicked into two movies. Like most Broadway musicals and operas, the show was made to be digested in one evening. Fortunately, the results fully justify the decision, and the movie does more than just stand up on its own. It improves on the stage spectacle in spectacular ways.

If you’re not familiar with Gregory Maguire’s novel or the Broadway musical, which were both imagined as a revisionist prequel to The Wizard of Oz , here’s the plot: Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) is a girl in Oz who is bullied for her green skin until she accompanies her younger sister (Marissa Bode) to her first day of college at Shiz University — think Hogwarts with a lot more pink. The stress of being in public makes Elphaba perform an uncontrolled burst of magic, which catches the eye of a professor (Michelle Yeoh), who seldom encounters students with genuine magical ability. She enrolls Elphaba in the college and sticks her in a room with spoiled rich girl Galinda (Ariana Grande), who will later drop the first “a” in her name.

If you’re familiar with the show, the subplot about the people of Oz locking up animals works even better now than it did when the musical first ran, and it’s supplemented by Shiz’ administrators giving a whitewashed version of Oz’ history and

Man” in a wobbly voice that fits the character and the staging, where the wizard performs some shadow theater and bats an inflatable moon up in the air. When Elphaba and Glinda reach the Emerald City, they see a live theater show with a surprise that’s too good to spoil. Jonathan Bailey plays the handsome prince who enrolls at Shiz, and the Bridgerton star displays some springy moves in “Dancing Through Life,” which he performs inside a rotating bookshelf, a neat bit of staging. This would be enough to steal away a lesser film.

Grande loses some of the enunciation on some of her high notes, but she does acquit herself well as an antagonist who’s more complicated than she seems. She really does nail the vibe of a coddled girl with a bitchy, “me first” streak, and she sings “Popular” while swinging from a chandelier and makes the simple act of flopping down on a bed into something funny. More impressive is the way the two-time Grammy winner portrays someone who comes around to a grudging respect for Elphaba and a sympathy for her rebellion against Oz.

firing professors who don’t fall in line. (Hmm, sounds familiar.) Other parts here would be difficult to do in the theater, such as the Ozians burning a Wicker Man-like effigy of the Wicked Witch of the West and Elphaba and Glinda trying unsuccessfully to make an escape in the wizard’s hot air balloon.

This 160-minute epic covers only the first act of the show, but in the hands of director Jon M. Chu, it comes off as maximalist rather than bloated. He brings the little touches, like when Elphaba sings about the possibility of not being green and strolls under a stained-glass mobile

that reflects different colors on her skin. Also, Chu moves his camera in tandem with the choreography of Christopher Scott (who worked with Chu on In the Heights ) so that we don’t lose the sense of where large numbers of dancers are moving. Compare Mean Girls , where the big set pieces tend to become muddy because the camera and choreo aren’t in sync. We don’t get that here.

The two lead actresses both have operatic singing range, but the vocal contributions come from everywhere in the cast. Jeff Goldblum portrays the Wizard of Oz and manages to deliver “A Sentimental

Yet she can’t take the spotlight from Erivo, whose sense of phrasing and inflections in the lyrics prop up Stephen Schwartz’ complex and discursive songs such as “The Wizard and I” and “I’m Not That Girl.” The entire movie might collapse if not for her skillful handling of these reflective numbers. She doesn’t lack for vocal beauty either, and the big climax of “Defying Gravity” blows out all the lights in the Emerald City. With Erivo singing it (and striking a power pose in midair), you can believe that would happen. She doesn’t just sing the showstopper. She is the showstopper, and all that’s left to wonder is what Wicked can do for an encore. We’ll find out soon enough. l

Not quite ready for all this holiday stuff? Just lean into it, and maybe your heart will grow three sizes larger by seeing How the Grinch Stole Christmas: The Musical at Bass Performance Hall (525 Commerce St, Fort Worth, 817-212-4280). Based on the famous Dr. Seuss book, the show is an add-on to the 2024-25 Broadway at the Bass season, so single events tickets are readily available at BassHall.com/Grinch starting at $44. Performance times include 7:30pm Wed-Sat, 3pm Sat, and 1:30pm Sun.

Those aren’t pillows! From 6pm to 9pm, TX Whiskey Ranch (2601 Whiskey Ranch Rd, Fort Worth,

817-840-9140) will kick off Thanksgiving a bit early with a screening of Planes, Trains & Automobiles. Starring Steve Martin and the late, great John Candy as two men just trying to get home in time for their turkey dinners, this 1987 comedy with heart will be shown outside (weather permitting), so dress appropriately. (The event will go inside if the weather turns bad.) Tickets are $10 at TXWhiskey.com and include your first cocktail. No one under 21 will be permitted (no kids, no babies), so get a sitter and make it a date night.

Are you a fan of The Voice?

Show alum Kendall Eugene will perform for free at Hoppin’ Fort Worth (2616 Weisenberger St, 682-224-0621) at 4pm.

Eugene rose to prominence after performing Morgan Wallen’s “Don’t Think Jesus” during this season’s blind auditions for returning coaches Gwen Stefani and Reba McEntire and new coaches Michael Bublé and Snoop Dogg. The emotional performance had Snoop saying, “He need a hug, Reba.” Good stuff.

While Little Women is not universally considered required reading in every school, it is widely considered a classic novel and is often taught in middle and high school English classes, so there’s a good chance you’ve read it.

Over the years, you may have seen adaptions on film and TV, the most recent being Greta Gerwig’s movie in 2019. Upon reading our review, I learned it was the fifth Hollywood adaptation and that there was also “a pretty good opera and a really bad Broadway musical” that had also been produced. Today at 2pm or Friday at

Last performed by FWO in 2005, Little Women makes its 2024 Fort Worth homecoming as a mainstage production, with chamber orchestra accompaniment by the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra led by Tyson Deaton. Mezzo-soprano Kelly Guerra — who arrives in Fort Worth fresh off her Metropolitan Opera debut in Ainadamar — leads the talented young cast in the role of Jo March along with Bridget Cappel (mezzo-soprano) as Meg, Mary Feminear (soprano) as Beth, and Megan Koch (lyric coloratura soprano) as Amy. Tickets start at $50 at FWOpera.org/LittleWomen-2024.

I’m feeling quite thankful for the short week we’re about to have. As the saying goes, no vacation goes unpunished. For the nice folks at our printers to be able to enjoy the holiday, too, we’re going to press a day early. Business owners, if you have specials for Black Friday, Small Saturday, Museum and Thrift Sunday, or Cyber Monday, be sure to let your Weekly person know. Perhaps you could even advertise in our Shop Local section, which will be in the center spread, surrounded by the sassy commentary of our editorial team’s annual Turkey Awards. It’s all happening!

R.I.P., Tommy Alverson

The iconic Texas Music singer-songwriter was 74.

BY STEVE STEWARD

A “songwriter’s songwriter,” Texas Music great Tommy Alverson has died of cancer at age 74. Perhaps best known for his 1999 hit “Una Más Cerveza” — an ode to thirsty gringos and the only Spanish they need to know should they find themselves south of the border — he also founded the Texas Music Family Gathering, an annual festival that ran for 20 years starting in 1998.

Over a career spanning three decades, he released nine albums and performed all over the state and even as far away as the Festival Country Rendezvous in Arzon, France, sharing the stage with Texas legends like Willie Nelson, Gary P. Nunn, Jerry Jeff Walker, Dale Watson, and many more.

Following the success of “Una Más Cerveza,” Alverson could afford to quit his job at Miller Brewing and realize his dream of writing and performing full time. Alverson was an accomplished guitar player complemented by an ace backing band that included his son Justin Alverson on lead guitar, steel and Dobro player Ray Austin,

drummer Ron Thompson, Jerry Abrams on bass, and fiddle players Thurston Selby and Heather Woodruff, as well as a more recent lineup up with Justin, Austin, Eric Holmes on drums, Justin Lightfoot on bass and vocals, and Selby on fiddle. Having a hit enabled them to build a following, and along with the popularity of his Family Gathering festivals and regular appearances at Larry Joe Taylor’s Texas Music Festival, Alverson became a prominent, vocal advocate for independent artists.

Alverson was a huge fan of songwriters like Doug Sahm and Mickey Newbury. On his 2007 album Country to the Bone, he performed songs by both, and while he found his biggest audience with songs fitting within Texas Music’s rock ’n’ roll-leaning, whiskey-celebrating aesthetics, the influence of the Outlaw Country scene founded in 1970s Austin is a theme throughout his songwriting — the kind of unapologetic humor and tight, laid-back grooves that Willie, Waylon, and Jerry Jeff were known for.

That scene was also known for the camaraderie among its cast of characters, a spirit Alverson brought with him wherever he played and what he set out to build with his Family Gathering. When you listen to songs like the Gulf-and-Western party ballad “Welcome to Paradise,” about having a great time in the parking lot with his fellow Parrotheads at a Jimmy Buffett concert in Dallas, you can tell that hanging out and playing music with his buddies brought Alverson a lot of joy, as did singing about Texas.

In a November 15 post, SavingCountryMusic.com said, “Tommy Alverson’s songs were of Texas, from Texas, and for Texas. Well before it became cliché for Texas artists to sing about Texas, Tommy Alverson was doing it. One of the reasons Texas bands sing about Texas is because they all want to be like Tommy Alverson. … His heart, his sound, and his spirit [were] always true to the Lone Star State.” l

The main reason Texas Music artists sing about Texas so much is that this guy did it best.

R.I.P., Matt Sacks

The co-founder of the Grackle Art Gallery was 72.

BY JUAN R. GOVEA

Fort Worth mourns the passing of Matt Sacks. Along with his kindness and creativity, the multi-disciplinary artist may have been best known for the Grackle Art Gallery. A venue for all manner of creative expression, the Arlington Heights space hosted everything from jazz to pop, landscapes to abstract-expressionism, and all points in between. Uniting each style, though, was an experimental sensibility. Close friends said Sacks had been battling assorted cancers for the past two years. He was 72.

“We’ve had a 5-year-old child’s work all the way up to a 102-year-old,” said Grackle Co-Director Linda Little. “We even had Leon Bridges play here before.”

Little said Sacks’ arthouse, which was also his living quarters, was inspired by two close friends. The Amon Carter Museum of American Art’s Paul Leicht and artist/ graphic designer Billy Hayes helped Sacks open the Grackle.

“I started organizing art and music shows in Fort Worth that ultimately didn’t last more than two years,” Leicht said. “When that went under, [Sacks] didn’t want the community and scene to end, so he started to organize shows at his home, which turned into the Grackle Art Gallery.”

Leicht added that Sacks wanted the art to be as loud and annoying as a grackle.

When Americana artist Ivan Dillard

Niosi: Sacks’ “living room became one of the best listening rooms in town, and musicians always took home 100% of any money collected.”

first came to Fort Worth after living in Dallas before the pandemic, he said he was somewhat of a stranger trying to book gigs.

“Matt saw me perform at an open-mic and invited me to the Grackle, and that was my start of everything. I was blown away by the environment, the energy, the quality of the artwork and music. To see great art in an intimate environment and meeting others definitely make it a hub.”

Singer-songwriter Clint Niosi was the first performer at the Grackle when it opened. “Matt was one of the most generous and genuine people I’ve ever met. He had no agenda or motives beyond giving people a place to express themselves. He was never cynical. His living room became one of the best listening rooms in town, and musicians always took home 100% of any money collected.”

Little and Grackle Music Director Kavin Allenson plan to continue Sacks’ mission.

Sacks, Allenson said, has “made arrangements for us to have this place as a meeting area for musicians and artists to display their talents as long as we can and it’s feasible for us.”

That mission includes art exhibits every second Saturday of the month and songwriters’ circles on the last Sunday.

The Grackle will celebrate Sacks’ life on Sunday, Dec. 1. Some of his paintings will be for sale for a donation. Sacks leaves behind several close friends and sister Margaret Araujo.

“It wasn’t just Matt,” Little and Allenson said in a joint statement. “We want to thank everyone who has come out here to the Grackle and participated. We couldn’t have done this without the artists and everyone involved. It’s not just us. It’s the community.” l

ATE DAY8 of Thanks or No Thanks

BY JENNIFER BOVEE

Some of you are looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with your families next week. Others? Not so much. From dining out for the big meal to events before and after (that don’t involve watching the Cowboys lose), here are some ideas for your consideration.

Hear some rocking tunes while helping gather food donations that could help some folks who need it in the coming weeks. Local Famous Records is hosting a fundraiser for the local food pantry Funky Town Fridge (FunkTownFridge.org, 682-207-7436), which helps feed people in Fort Worth food deserts. Local Famous and Torch Entertainment have teamed up to throw the inaugural Food Fest Fundraiser at the Haltom Theater (5601 E Belknap St, Haltom City, 682-250-5678). There will be local vendors, and B-Nign, Ben C Jones, Black Market Garden, The Bom Bom Boms, Despire, Double Bear, Hang Booty Disco, I Am Warbird, N.R.I.O., Passengers Unknown, The Spectacle, Temporal Distortions, Trash Puppies, and Wolves Reign are slated to perform. Tickets are $20, with 10% of all proceeds going to Funkytown Fridge, or $15 with a food donation.

From 9pm to 11pm, a trio of musically inclined friends are having a Thanksgiving Eve Pregame Jam at the new FW Thunderbird (306 Houston St, Fort Worth, @FWThunderbird). There is

no cover, only good vibes and good times listening to the Quaker City Night Hawks’ Sam Anderson, Royal Sons’ Blake Parish, and Arenda Light’s Kris Luther all night long. Another longtime pre-Thanksgiving party is happening again this year in Pantego. Every year, the gang at Tanstaafl Pub (409 N Bowen Rd, Arlington, 817-460-9506) hosts a jam session with local musicians covering songs from The Last Waltz. The pub’s 12th annual There’s No Such Thing as a Last Waltz is free and starts at 9pm.

If you’re thinking of spending the day in the Stockyards, consider the three-course Thanksgiving feast at 97 West Kitchen & Bar at Hotel Drover (200 Mule Alley, Fort Worth, 682-255-6497) from noon to 9pm. The menu includes entrée selections like herb-crusted turkey with sage gravy and smoked prime rib; sides of potato hash, sausage-apple stuffing, and fresh cranberry sauce; and starters like butternut-squash soup and a farm-fresh salad. For dessert, choose from pecan or pumpkin pie. Adult dining is priced at $75 per person. There is a special menu for Lil Ropers (ages 5-12) for $35, and those under 5 dine for free. For reservations, go to OpenTable.com. (If your party is five or more, please call the restaurant instead.)

Blue Mesa is once again hosting its annual Thanksgiving Buffet from 8am to 4pm.

The menu includes roasted turkey, smoked brisket, red chile-glazed ham, grilled salmon, cranberry-jalapeño relish, Southwest stuffing, mashed and sweet potatoes, green beans, cinnamon roasted butternut squash, and a variety of pies. Plus, there will be a traditional street taco bar, an omelet station, and more. The price is $40 for adults, $12 for kids ages 6-11, and free for ages 5 and younger. Your choice of mimosas, coffee, iced tea, orange juice, and soft drinks is included. For reservations, go to OpenTable.com or call the restaurant. To purchase the Family Packs that feed 6-8 adults for $175, order at BlueMesaGrill.com no later than Sun, Nov 24.

Howdy, Neighbor’s

joint aims to make downtown more inviting.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY EMMY SMITH

On a recent Friday, after a brutal work week and drained from fighting the cloud of impending doom that’s hung over my family since Nov. 5, I needed a “treat yo’ self” moment. Leaving my downtown office, I blew right by the chain restaurants and pricey hotel bars (which seem to multiply weekly) and bee-lined it to my new favorite after-work spot, Neighbor’s House.

Neighbor’s House’s steakhouse-quality ribeye is topped with herb butter for added indulgence.

Walking through downtown, you see a lot of shuttered businesses. Long-defunct eateries like Taverna and Bird Café still sit vacant, and it can feel like the only reason to make the trek downtown if you don’t work there would be for a special occasion dinner at one of the many chain steakhouses along Main and Houston streets. Neighbor’s House is aiming to change that, bringing an

and beer.

inviting experience to downtown residents and visitors alike.

Once a grocery store serving downtown residents (which explains why the website has the word grocery in it), the eatery pivoted to a full-fledged restaurant a couple of years ago. Since then, they’ve been steadily ramping up their menu and hours and collecting loyal regulars.

Throughout the week starting at 8 a.m., Neighbor’s House serves a steady stream of office workers like me from nearby Burnett

Plaza, the Frost Bank building, and others. The popular salad bar is well-stocked with more than 60 items, but the counter also serves burgers, hearty sandwiches, street tacos, and loaded baked potatoes. I had the house-smoked brisket tacos during my lunch visit, lured in by the delicious smoked meat aroma wafting from somewhere in the depths of the First on Seventh Building, where the restaurant keeps its smoker.

The brisket was as melt-in-your-mouth

tender as any of the area’s best barbecue joints, and the tacos were nearly bursting with meat, cheese, and toppings, satisfying my midday hunger and then some. I may have taken a short nap in my cube back at the office.

And every Friday, from 5:30 p.m. to close (perfect for the just-out-of-work crowd), Neighbor’s hosts the most affordable — and filling — steak night ’round these parts, which is why I found myself there on this particular evening.

For an astounding $40 per person, guests enjoy either a 10-ounce filet or 16-ounce ribeye, a trip to the salad bar, luscious duck fat-fried potatoes, and a vegetable medley. If you’re in the mood for seafood, you can sub in snow crab legs for the steak. And because Neighbor’s House sells a large selection of retail beer and wine, you can choose anything off the shelf to open and have with your meal. Another win for the wallet and for my weary soul. To achieve my treat yo’self moment, I ordered the humongous ribeye and a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. The ribeye was cooked beautifully and was as indulgent as any steak from Del Frisco’s or Capital Grille but much more budget-friendly and without the stuffiness.

Chef-owners Kyle and Ashlee Cowan say the opportunity to bring a restaurant to fruition is the culmination of a lifelong dream after more than 20 years as chefs. While the restaurant was bustling, as we sat at the bar, they made time to chat about all sorts of things, from their transition from grocery to restaurant to Olympic sports. The Cowans seem to understand that the experience of going to a restaurant isn’t only about the food. Pleasant company and wonderful

Hall. When we walked in, all the diners were eerily silent, and we looked at each other uneasily. Was this a wake? Then we realized there was a Bingo game going on, as it apparently does every Wednesday from 5 p.m. on. We happily posted up at the bar, ordered two Old Fashioneds (Neighbor’s also boasts a full bar and an impressive whiskey selection), and joined in. Soon enough, I was calling “Bingo!” and felt like I’d officially been welcomed to the Neighbor’s-hood. While we played, we enjoyed loaded jumbo potato skins and some crispy Brussels sprouts with sweet chile sauce off the dinner menu. Both were excellent and enough to serve as a light preshow dinner, though I somehow missed the word “jumbo” and probably made a cartoonish googly-eyed face when the enormous skins arrived, generously topped with bacon, warm cheese sauce, sour cream, and green onion.

While it may feel like any semblance of a local downtown scene is slowly disappearing, the only way to ensure that doesn’t happen is to support Neighbor’s House — and a few others, like Osteria 61 next door — whether for a special occasion, an escape from intrusive thoughts, or no reason at all. See you soon, neighbor. l

service are crucial as well. Otherwise, people won’t keep coming. And as their name suggests, the vibe at Neighbor’s House is comfortable, homey, and welcoming.

Case in point: One recent Wednesday evening, the husband and I were looking for a place to kill time before a show at Bass

No steak dinner is complete without a trip to the salad bar, and Neighbor’s House has one of the best around. Neighbor’s House
