Right, Dallas is ahead and deserves to be ahead. Any friend I know who goes to DFW goes to Dallas, their pictures on their Facebook pages are in Dallas(like the West End). Nobody has gone over to Fort Worth. I even asked a few of them why and they said because there is nothing to do over there. So true!

Yep, lets copy Dallas.

Yeah.... and St. Louis, Cleveland, Boston, Chicago, and Philadelphia were never going to get passed up by cities like, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, L.A., and Phoenix.



Never say never. It's not impossible, ya know. It'll take a long time, but it could happen..... and it's good to be back after a 2 week absence.

It could happen and Fort Worth and many proud Fort Worth rednecks like OmSashi wants Fort Worth to pull ahead and make Dallas a suburb or #2, but Dallas isn't going to let it happen. It has too many resources to prevent it.

I live in Houston, and if I had a choice I'd happily move to Ft Worth. You could not force me to live in Dallas for any amount of $$$. So go Ft Worth! There I said it

In that case Dallas copied Chicago. Skyscrapers were born in Chicago. You don't see me (as a Chcagoan) saying give us what you took from us back. Learn to share. Fort Worth so deserves a building boom. You have to be a hater to say otherwise.

Redneck? Proud Fort Worth resident?

I'm South Asian (Indian), and I don't live in Fort Worth, I live about 1,200 miles away in a little town called Chicago. I don't expect you to know of it, because Dallas is oh so much "bigger" than it. I also live in a tiny Texas town called Houston. But you wouldn't have heard of it, I mean it's some small town unlike the BIG D.

LOL resources like what? The Jerry Jones who moved to the Fort Worth side?

Why am I defending Fort Worth? Because the city doesn't deserve to be bashed by people like you that don't appreciate it. Plus it's my favorite Texas city.

I am a hater, Fort Worth is boring and useless.

I like Houston. Houston has a lot to do and doesn't have some pesky Fort Worth trying to get in the way.

BTW, a new Fox series called The Good Guys is set in Dallas. Just like Walker Texas Ranger and the TV show Dallas. No shows have been set in Fort Worth yet. I wonder why?? Maybe because Fort Worth is not as photogenic, big, or well-known as Dallas and I like it that way. Dallas is imply beautiful. The skyline, parks, lakes, buildings, stuff to do. Dallas is majestic and beautiful. Fort Worth is a redneck town.
