I love the atmosphere and history that Fort Worth has. The Fort Worth Stockyards have so much history and character! The restaurant selection is extremely diverse. You can probably find any type of food you want. You can't go wrong with the barbecue, it's the best! The shopping is also very vast. Downtown Fort Worth is also a must see. The stores and food are also amazing in downtown Fort Worth. Christmas in the Sundance Square is a family favorite for myself. Also tons of shopping and restaurants in Sundance Square. Almost every neighborhood or even every street has a different style. There is definitely something for everybody. You don't have to travel far to find fun for everyone.

Cowtown, Panther City, Funkytown or whatever you call it, Fort Worth is the best home town I could ever ask for. What makes Fort Worth so unique is the sense of community the entire city has and how genuinely kind the people are. You will commonly see strangers graciously helping each other. Even the drivers are more considerate than in our sister city of Dallas! I also love Fort Worth for its focus on the arts and activities. With places like the Stockyards, Fort Worth Zoo, Bass Performance Hall, Modern Art Museum, Omni Theater, and Historic Downtown, Fort Worth has many unique options for entertainment for people of all ages!
However, I would like to see the public education system be improved. Currently, Texas has one of the worst public education systems in the entire country despite having many extremely good private and charter schools. I would also like to see more of Historic downtown restored so that the north and northeast part of town carry less of a stigma.
I am born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas. Ever since 2000, my family and I have never lived in another town other than Fort Worth. I love this city and I love Texas! The fair at the stock yards and the rodeo is so fun, giving family and friends a perfect, safe environment to spend valuable time together. The FWISD is an amazing school district, giving students everything they need to succeed after every level of their education. Everything in Fort Worth, Texas is worth at least visiting for. Get your family and friends and get down here for a time of your life!
