Where the west began and continues

Fort Worth used to be the terminus for cattle ranchers. The stock yards are kind of touristy but sill exists. Currently the city is going through a transformation. Many of the buildings in downtown are being turned into lofts and business offices. A cultural center continues developing. There are numerous world known Museums in Fort Worth ( the Kimbal, Modern Art, Cow Girl Musem, and Amon Carter to name a few) as well as other local establishments like the Will Rogers Coliseum & Auditorium complex, Meyerson Symphony, and Sundance Square!!!!

This location will no longer continue to grow as I have moved on to a new phase of my life. Check out my Virginia and Washginton, D.C. pages for my where abouts!

The Tarrant County Court House

My favorite picture of Fort Worth to date. The city hall reflected in the windows of the administration building.

Glad to hear the police department uses bicycles. That's always a good sign. -- (Thanks for your e-mail.)
