Fort Worth is to Dallas as St. Paul is to Minneapolis. The forgotten twin city.

Fort Worth is awesome, but I think all the Texas cities are awesome. Each have their own distinctive culture and history, and none are boring. It's not San Francisco, but it's not Omaha either.

Except that Fort Worth is larger than Minneapolis and St. Paul combined. Washington D.C. and Baltimore seem the better comparison as, from downtown to downtown they're the same distance from one another. Though, again to be fair, Fort Worth is also larger than both Washington and larger than Baltimore. The North Texas area really is a different animal and that makes for tough comparisons.

I will agree with you though that for whatever reason Fort Worth tends to be Texas's forgotten city (despite being its fifth-largest).

I went back to the OP to clarify I have no idea now....

Your interpretation might be right and I just jumped to weather because it's a hobby.

And we can Thank th' Good Lord it's nothing like SF ...

And, like you, I believe all Texas cities are awesome. When I last lived there, It was a treat to get to travel to whichever-one I needed to go to. I (too) felt like each had its own distinctive culture, as well.
These days, I'd give part of my anatomy to be able to live there, again! Ain't nuthin' out here (People's Socialist Republik of Y'all-Know-Where) anywhere-near what Texas has!
Thanks for lettin' me post on here ... TC

I thought the OP was fair, but I am having a hard time understanding how one is able to assess how important a city is or the education of its population based on just a visit.

My comparison had nothing to do with size. Just saying that there are a few twin cities out there, and one steals all the glory and lime light.
