.... On paper?
Fort Worth's TRV has started already.
In a way, it started yeeaaaars ago, but the dirt started flying just last summer. Also, several projects along with the entire project are either just being built (The Lincoln, Villa de Leon, TCC Downtown), or they're already here, like LaGrave Field, built in '03. They will become the anchors for what's coming up.

Now sure, Dallas already has a vibrant Uptown, and a well established rail system, and alot of other things that Fort Worth doesn't have yet. Hey, Fort Worth is behind on alot of things...... but it doesn't mean you shouldn't have a thread about the two.

I mean really, it's always: "NY vs. L.A.", "Dallas vs. Houston", "Chicago vs. Miami"......

PLEASE..... can we just do something different.... for ONCE?

That may very well be true. Uptown Dallas is looking very vibrant. The Fort Worth trinity river project is no longer a vision its becoming a reality or should I say its being well funded. Fort Worth is racking in alot of revenue from the Barnet Shell and the city tax base is growing rapidly due to the big population boom. Furthermore, when was the last time you payed a visit to downtown Fort Worth or do you even realize the scope of the Fort Worth trinity river project. Its not a small project its a massive project. This project will expand expand Fort Worth skyline and drastically change the face of Fort Worth.

uhh...Dallas...frankly, Fort Worth is somewhat of a bore. When I think of major cities on a national scale, Dallas is included, Fort Worth is not. Dallas has a great night life and Fort Worth's is so so. Anyway, D-town all the way...
