My son lives in Ft. Worth and likes it. He likes it so much he is moving to Uvalde. Seriously, he likes Ft. Worth a lot, but has a job offer in Uvalde (west of San Antonio) he prefers.

Fort Worth and Dallas, two different cities. Like the old saying goes "Fort Worth is where the West begins, Dallas is where the East peters out". | |||

The Dallas/Fort Worth area is at the top of our list so far for relocation. My wife and I hung there for a week in Jan.(as well as last August) and we love it, particularly the Fort Worth part. We very well might be there in the very near future  "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

Fort Worth is where all the cool kids live. For real. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Any recommendations for food and whiskey? I will be staying near the Fort Worth Convention Center for a conference next week. | |||
|
| come and take it |
I am a fan of Fred's Texas off of 7th Street. Heim' s has some pretty good barbecue on Magnolia Avenue. I have a few SIGs. | |||

I run trains! |
Nonna Tata off Magnolia is some fantastic Italian food. Cash/check only though, very limited seating. Greenwood’s off the Bluebonnet traffic circle (near TCU) is awesome German food. The original Fuzzy’s Taco Shop is on Berry and University (also near TCU) and worth a stop. Reata restaurant in downtown has great grilled/southwest food and a great rooftop bar. Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. Complacency sucks… | |||

My Dad grew up in Paris, TX and joined the Air Force after high school thinking he would be able see parts of the country and world he'd never seen before. Unfortunately, he got posted to Carswell. He's still pissed about it. Anyhow, he was a bomb tech for B-58s during the late 60s. He once told me that when they traveled off base to retrieve nuclear bombs they were issued pistols with no ammunition. I went to one of the last airshows held at Carswell. It was also the first public showing of the F-117. I remember it being really cool seeing that aircraft up close. I also remember walking by at least four B-52s lined up on bomber row. The whole area was roped off and patrolled by MPs carrying M4s some with K9s. I was told that those particular bombers were loaded and ready for takeoff within minutes. Anyhow, I live and work in Irving but when I go out with friends I much prefer going to Fort Worth rather than Dallas. The people are much more laid back in Fort Worth. NRA Life Patron | |||

I live in Tarrant County, smack in the middle between Dallas and Ft Worth and Ft Worth is King. It is awesome. I love it.

Stayed in art. Worth for a few days for a work trip last year. Liked it a lot. My coworker had some buddies in the Ft.Worth area. Took us around the Stockyards. Really neat. Took us out to eat st Cooper’s BBQ and out for some beers at the White Elephant Saloon. Great places!!! | |||

FW is re-branding itself from Cowtown to something else. Progressive development only started a few years ago. Like any big city, there’s great areas and shitholes. School district sucks. I work there, but don’t live there. ______________________________ Men who carry guns for a living do not seek reward outside of the guild. The most cherished gift is a nod from his peers. | |||

Character, above all else |
It's been a great decision to move back to the state I grew up in, and living west of Fort Worth is the icing on the cake. "The Truth, when first uttered, is always considered heresy." | |||

I've lived nearer Fort Worth than Dallas for most of my life. I'll never leave. Glad you are enjoying it. The stockyards area is pretty fun and is pretty well patrolled so there usually isn't any real trouble there. For the record, the police in FW are kind of old school. 'They don't fuck around' was a quote I got from a Dallas County Deputy recently on that subject. Oh and just stay away from the east side generally. I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. -Ecclesiastes 9:11 ...But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory, but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. - Psalm 63:11 [excerpted] | |||

One year later.....all I can say is I wish I did this 10 years ago. I feel reborn as a person. | |||

69 yo Native Texan from Houston here. Spent most of my life around Houston and visited Dallas frequently. Didn’t really spend any time in FW until 20 yrs ago. Wow, what a place! Great. Reminds me of what outskirts of Houston used to be. The real Texas! Dallas is stuck up, run by bankers. Houston is hell bent for leather. Anything goes but too big now for me. Intresting though. Want Cuban Chinese food with Icelandic spices? There’s probably a retuarant that has it in Houson. Outstanding arts. But FW is small enough to be manageable and hasn’t lost the friendly vibe. But given the choice, if I hadn’t retired to the Hill Country, I’d consider FW. | |||
