Although it certainly boasts plenty of culture, history and entertainment offerings, Fort Worth, Texas, occasionally has been overlooked in the shadow of next-door Dallas.
Fort Worth is an excellent counterpart to Dallas.
Where Dallas specializes in newer, more modern structures, Fort Worth enjoys a larger share historical structures. As you make your way from Dallas to Fort Worth, you'll soon notice fewer skyscrapers and more converted brick buildings. Where Dallas moves to a fast beat, laid-back Fort Worth prefers to take things a bit more slowly. Fort Worth seems to revel more in its Western roots. This isn't to say, however, that Fort Worth isn't a cosmopolitan place.
