Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for February 25, 2025. We're starting off with some exciting news from the entertainment world. Fort Worth is celebrating its Oscar-nominated musician, Abraham Alexander, with a send-off party ahead of the Academy Awards. Alexander's song "Like a Bird" for the movie "Sing Sing" is one of five songs nominated in this year's Original Song category. We're proud to call him a Fort Worth resident. In sports, thousands of runners took part in The Cowtown races over the weekend at Will Rogers Memorial Center. The event included a 10K, Adult 5K, Kid's 5K, and Ultra Marathons, with proceeds benefiting the C.A.L.F. program, which supports children's activities for life and fitness. On a more serious note, North Texas is recovering from an extreme cold front that brought life-threatening temperatures. Fort Worth police, firefighters, and advocates worked tirelessly to provide help to homeless people living on the streets, offering resources and shelter to those in need. In education, Keller ISD is facing challenges after the resignation of Superintendent Tracy Johnson during a special meeting. The district is now discussing rezoning 23 properties owned by Keller ISD in Fort Worth. Looking at the job market, Fort Worth is experiencing a tech boom, with over 20,000 new tech positions expected by the end of 2025. Key roles in AI, cloud computing, and cybersecurity are in high demand, with salaries ranging from $105,000 to $158,000. In real estate, the city is investing heavily in infrastructure and economic development, with a focus on IT and transportation. This growth is creating new opportunities for residents and businesses alike. On the cultural front, a new Vietnamese restaurant called Duong DeVille is set to open in Fort Worth by the end of 2025. The restaurant will honor the owner's father and serve traditional Vietnamese dishes. In community news, a hands-on workshop is coming to Fort Worth to help residents navigate the financial side of homeownership.

In crime news, Fort Worth police are investigating a car crash and shooting that injured two people in southwest Fort Worth near the intersection of Whitfield Avenue and Inverness Avenue. The gun violence unit is leading the investigation, and we'll provide updates as more information becomes available. Finally, we're ending on a positive note.
