    3.12 - The Main Thing, Part Three
    Aug 1 2025
    When Grapevine's elected leaders set out to build something special at the South end of Main Street, they had most of the components lined up: a parcel of land to shape as needed, voter-approved passenger rail access, and a vision for the final piece of the puzzle. For decades, they had dreamed about a downtown hotel. Now, they finally got to search for a partner who could build something to match their vision... while conforming to a few intense code requirements.

    This is Part Three of our miniseries on the City's iconic new Public-Private Partnership:

    3.11 - The Main Thing, Part Two
    Jul 2 2025
    For all the thought and effort that went into creating a one-of-a-kind development at Grapevine Main, only one component is the undeniable catalyst behind the entire project: passenger rail. Without the TEXRail commuter line operated by Trinity Metro, this defining piece of architecture wouldn't be nearly as functional. It might not even exist. But City leaders planned to be a stop along the route from Fort Worth the DFW International Airport for decades... and even chipped in a little extra to make it happen.

    This is Part Two of our miniseries on the City's iconic new Public-Private Partnership:

    00:00-02:22... building for the future
    02:23-05:00... putting a once-in-a-lifetime project on rails

    12:19-14:40... Grapevine City Council's research and visioning process
    14:41-17:45... the next stop: a groundbreaking partnership with North Richland Hills
    17:46-21:09... running the numbers on funding, ridership, and a healthy transportation system
    21:10-23:43... five years and a pandemic later, the project earns its first new neighbor
    23:44-26:14... how the City's initial investment made new development easy math
    26:15-29:57... what comes next, for TEXRail and the podcast

    For over a century, Grapevine Main Street has been synonymous with small-town charm. The very mention of our authentic historic district conjures images of brick buildings, festival crowds, and a single broad street surrounded by humble structures. Now, visitors are more likely to have a different view in mind: the combination rail station, hotel, and public gathering space known as Grapevine Main.

    This is Part One of our miniseries on the City's iconic new Public-Private Partnership:

    00:00-03:35... what Places mean to us
