[QUOTE="Limp Lizard, post: 569389, member: 18"] One thing about Tarrant County (where Ft. Worth is located), is although it has a population of over 1.5 million, is that it is easy to get around in, except for traditional rush hours. However the further east you go (towards Dallas), the worse the traffic gets. So don't count out a place because it look far on a map (especially going west). Although I am a native Texan from North Central Texas, the cowboy thing has never been appealing to me. If that goes for you, there are many things that are in town that are wonderful, such as an excellent zoo, a museum district with some great art museums (expeciall the Kimbell, one of the top-rated small museums in the [U]world[/U]). Lots of good restaurants, not all of which are chain. Although for true old-style Tex-Mex, El Fenix on the far west side is something I would recommend. Most Tex-Mex in the area has become yuppie-fied, not like one would get in the 50's and 60's in the area. Ask for Mexican restaurants from 20 people and you may get 20 answers. And you can always tour our campus, if you wish. It is about 20 miles from JerryWorld. Nice when you consider there are only 8,000-some students. It is about 4-5 miles from downtown and and very easy to get to. Oh, and it will probably be very hot and humid (unless it is raining or a hurricaine is blowing through). Check out the forecast before you go. Dress appropriately and hydrate. By the way, even if it is raining, it will be a warm rain. [/QUOTE]
