Miss Molly’s Hotel

A Spirited Past
“I look at what’s
hanging on the walls,
feel hardwood from
beneath my boots,
and time permitting,
hang around long
enough to hear a story or two. Interesting
stories and colorful
pasts come with old
structures given by
the people inside of
them, then and now.”
I’ve heard stories of, about, and starring the Ft. Worth Stock Yards for as long as I can remember. A little strip of our
towns history loveingl known to us here as Northside. I grew up just north of Northside in North Richland Hills, so I
was never far. The Stockyards have always been an intriguing place to me from my first memories of the occasional sit
down steak dinner with the extended family, to stories of my folks going to dance, and then my own when I would go
to work down there in late 2003. I’ve always been drawn to old buildings and the warmth they provide, I love to walk
through them, enquire as to the age and the causes they’ve served. I look at what’s hanging on the walls, feel hardwood
beneath my boots, and time permitting hang around long enough to hear a story or two. Interesting histories and colorful pasts come with old structures given by the people inside of them, then and now.
