Cow Town landmark since 1974 Fort Worth was a big surprise. I'd been to Dallas, and I assumed that the other half of the Metroplex would be more or less a similar sort of place. It just goes to show how dangerous assumptions can be. Downtown is Sundance Square, from which the Sundance Kid derived his name.
Fort Worth personifies the wild west and the cattle industry.
It's nothing like Dallas, which has an almost eastern flavor. It was Becky, Bob, Ryan and Jessica Lommel who opened our eyes to the delights of Forth Worth. They live in nearby Mansfield, and they took us on a whirlwind tour one evening. We made it in the nick of time. The Water Gardens are another Fort Worth surprise.
