Most in Texas cannot. But those pockets are few. M any of Fort Worth's oldest neighborhoods remain intact, having survived the Depression, the exodus to the suburbs, freeways, development, a real estate crash and crime waves. But the city's love affair with its neighborhoods is also a state of mind. As big as Fort Worth is, it still feels like a small town.
People still drive from one side of town to another.
They eat Mexican food on North Main. They go on home tours in Ryan Place. They meet at the Kimbell. And they drive from ritzy to working-class by crossing a street or two. I like the mix.
