Fun in Fort Worth

Crrrrrrrraaaazy Fort Worth, Texas.

CowTown.

FunkyTown.

Where The West Begins.

Dallas' Unsophisticated Little Brother.


Call it what you may, one thing is for certain: Fort Worth is the greatest city on Earth!

Recently, the Little Sis and I headed 35 miles west on the Airport Freeway and descended upon the Wild West village that is Fort Worth, Texas. A quaint ranching community populated primarily by cowboys and mexicans, Fort Worth has long been sneered at by uppity Dallasites tired of peering down their noses at Houston. But Fort Worth gets a bad rap.

I love the place.

In our excitement, Sis and I even developed a Quiz Game about Fort Worth, to help familiarize you with the city, should you ever be so fortuitous as to visit it. Just pick the correct answer:
