We lived in the projects right by where the subway let off and picked up. It was the Leonard's subway back then. We would walk down the hill and cross the ball park to catch the subway. Back then, kids were safe to ride without their parents. It is so sad that things have changed so much and another piece of our history is gone.

We searched for the tunnel to no avail. We even went and wandered around the parking garages under the tandy center to see if we could find any remnants of the old arrival platforms, but were shooed away by security guards. It was fun while it lasted!<br />Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11143057658044348340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733119162856156769.post-32633562086580955152014-04-15T02:45:03.465-05:002014-04-15T02:45:03.465-05:00I just want to add, the subway would have been a g...I just want to add, the subway would have been a good thing to keep with the growing downtown.

Glad I found this site and comments on what has happened, I used it for many years when working at Radioshack, until they laid many people off so they could have money for their new building.. just my opinion though.

Many of my friends and I use to park in the Tandy Center Parking Lot and take the subway into downtown Fort Worth. I had riden the subway since for over 20 years and I sure miss it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
