According to the blog post, organizers and community stakeholders gathered earlier this week at Lou's Place on the Texas Wesleyan University campus to celebrate the milestone. The event was sponsored by Southside Bank.

Poly Main Street is one of two Main Street America pilot districts in Fort Worth. It is focused on enhancing economic vitality, improving the built environment, and celebrating the neighborhood's unique history and identity using Main Street's Four Point Approach.

The organization's new logo features several local landmarks, including the Texas Wesleyan clocktower, the Poly Theater, and Polytechnic High School. The logo also features the phrase, "Preserving the past, building our future."

In attendance were Fort Worth City Council Members Chris Nettles and Jeanette Martinez. The Polytechnic Heights community is part of both districts 8 and 11. Texas Wesleyan President Emily Messer provided welcoming remarks.

"Celebrating this logo is important," Nettles said during his remarks. "It represents where we've been, but also where we're going."

Martinez said, "Progress doesn't mean erasing the past. It means honoring our history, our culture and our roots, and celebrating them for decades to come."
