Throwing jabs & picking at lil' ole Tyler again I see. Fort Worth is 7 times the size of Tyler, so naturally its not going to be nearly as conservative. As far as medium-large size cities go, Fort Worth is extremely conservative, about like Oklahoma City.
Yes, we're conservative here in Tyler/East Texas & we like it that way. Doesn't mean we don't have the vices of a large city though. Most Meth coming into the D/FW area is from East Texas.
There you go with your exaggeration Metro Matt. Fort Worth mayor is a democrat.

Who is throwing jabs? Stating that Tyler is conservative isnt a jab (or a bad thing), its a fact. Fort Worth's size has nothing to do with it. Even among its peers (like say, Waco), Tyler is conservative. Its not a bad place. I never said it was.
but what is it about Fort Worth that makes it different than most other cities?
I've heard a lot from many people over the years that Austin isn't even anything like the rest of Texas. I guess it's because of the friendly vibe it generates, it's very laid-back, and as some noted anything goes. Is that something similar to Fort Worth or is there something completely different about it that makes it "refreshing"? And I'm not asking because I don't "get it".... I'm simply asking because I might not be too familiar with it. Maybe sometime soon in a couple of weeks or so I'll take a trip over there and try see it in a different light. Suggestions on places to visit?
Fort Worth's got the same "friendly vibe", mostly. But it seems to be the only Texas city that embraces its heritage and isn't flashy like most other cities. It's almost the polar opposite of Dallas..... almost.
but also if you think about it.... austin IS a liberal city that happens to be the capitol of a conservative state.
Kinda hard to argue with that. The most liberal guy I know praises Austin for what it is....
