…quaint suburb with a strong spirit

Bedford is the “B” in the HEB Community (located about 20 minutes from both D and FW), but it's a place that definitely gets an “A” for effort and determination.

A cool piece of history: back in 1860, when the city was first beginning to emerge, residents established a log building for children’s schooling—yet by 1893, the civil war and two fires forced citizens to raise funds for an entirely new structure and eventually merge with the Hurst-Euless School District in 1958. Now, this tri-community system is among the top 10 percent of school districts nationwide.

So, though it may look quaint from the outside, Bedford is a town with a hard-core spirit. The houses are mostly middle- and upper-middle class single-family homes, although you can find some apartments and condos here as well.

A few outstanding features here are the 24,000-sq.-ft. Boys Ranch Activity Center (not actually just for boys), The Twilight Thursday Concert Series (not always at twilight) and Murder Mystery Dinner and Show (yes, a real dinner and show).

Barnett Shale...Cha Ching! But Now What

Barnett Shale may be the largest onshore natural gas field in the United States. While proven to have 2.5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, it could contain as much as 30 trillion cubic feet! Not until the technological advancement of horizontal drilling though was Barnett Shale able to become a major producer of natural gas. Horizontal drilling allows companies to drill horizontally – this is key because DFW basically sits on top of Barnett Shale. Now drillers can retrieve natural gas that lies beneath neighborhoods. Cha ching!
