Good morning, Dallas-Fort Worth! This is Morgan Riley bringing you the Word on the Streets of Dallas-Fort Worth. Let’s dive into today’s top stories, local insights, and community highlights.

Our lead story today takes us to Pleasant Grove in Dallas, where a massive sinkhole caused significant disruptions yesterday. This sinkhole, which appeared on Monday, has raised safety concerns as crews work to repair the damage and assess potential risks to the surrounding area. Officials urge drivers and residents to remain cautious as detours have been put in place. Meanwhile, in Fort Worth, a tragic crash over the weekend claimed three lives and left several others injured. This serves as a somber reminder for all of us to stay vigilant on the roads.

On the human interest front, a heartening story comes from Keller, where the community rallied around a local teen recovering from a severe car accident a year ago. A 5K run was held in her honor this past weekend, with hundreds participating to support her medical expenses and recovery journey. It’s a beautiful testament to the strength and kindness of our North Texas spirit.

Looking ahead to the week, downtown Fort Worth is buzzing with excitement as the Fort Worth Arts Festival gears up for its 38th annual celebration starting this Thursday. Spanning 18 blocks, this vibrant event will feature stunning artwork, live music, and food vendors from across the region. Over in Dallas, the Deep Ellum Community Arts Fair continues despite some rain, showcasing the area’s rich artistic culture. If you’re out and about, pack an umbrella and indulge in the creativity that defines our city.

Now for your weather update. After a cool and wet start to the week, Tuesday will bring some sunshine with highs in the mid-70s, though another round of storms is expected later this week. Be sure to plan your outdoor activities accordingly and keep an eye on local forecasts.

Finally, in community news, the Scarborough Renaissance Festival is in full swing in Waxahachie, running through May 26th. Families can enjoy live performances, medieval games, and delicious food—perfect for a quick escape from the hustle and bustle of the metroplex.

As we close, let’s remind ourselves of the resilience and vibrancy that define Dallas-Fort Worth. From coming together in times of need to celebrating our cultural riches, this community truly shines. This has been Morgan Riley, your neighbor in the news.
