Fort Worth ReferenceFort Worth ReferenceThis is like that drawer in you kitchen. The one with the masking tape, bread twisties, pliers, dog chewies, pizza coupons, some sticky pink stuff, the exterminator's card, the popcorn popper cord, six M&M's, half a packet of gladiola seeds....well, you know. We've collected a similar useful hodgepodge here. But we left out the sticky stuff.
Planes, trains or automobiles? You make the call. The numbers are right here. Indoor or outdoor? Public or private? Fee or Free? There're numbers to help with those, too.
You can even call someone to talk about the weather, like you'd end up doing on a first date but without all the pressure.
There's even Texas trivia to amaze the folks back home. It's easy, really. "So Uncle Joe's having that removed, huh? That surprises me. Almost as much as the fact that petrified palmwood is the state stone of Texas." Or you can just try to out-fact your Fort Worth tour guide. But don't count on it.
