culture, cowboys, and charisma - 5/31/2015
Fort Worth rocks! Everything under the sun to have fun with. We have culture(amon carter, kimball), cowboys(old stock yard, western heritage), and charisma(hi ya'll)rolled up in one big enchilada! Fort Worth can boast about our bike trails, botanical gardens, fine shopping and dining(nearly every cuisine you can think of)to enjoy. We have a interesting climate(drought then floods), but you can ride your bike or golf even in the very mild winter here most days. We have jobs, medical centers, recreation opportunities abound, good schools, diverse cultures and people. Traffic is a mess, but that is why we keep growing, once you stay in fort worth, it's hard to leave. Did I mention the Tex-Mex cuisine here? some of the best in land.

Small town feeling in a Great City - 7/18/2013
We moved to Fort Worth last year after living in several different cities across the country over the past 20 years. Like so many folks we'd been looking for the small town with city amenities. Our moves were all corporate transfers. So we were completely amazed to land here and find that this is what we'd been looking for. The city has a great outdoor trail system, an arts scene, lots of restaurants, great public transportation, and short commute times. The weather is hot in the summer months, but the rest of the year makes up for it. Now to be clear I am not talking about living out in the suburbs but in the city. What makes Fort Worth special for us is the Fairmount Historic District. This is our home. This is a neighborhood where people porch sit and share conversation with their neighbors. Where young families are moving in to give that small town experience to their children. The homes are from the early 1900s and because it is an historic district many people move

Cost of living is excellent here, as are housing prices, but it is awfully hot in the summers. Not many close outdoor areas for hiking and other recreation.

Don't come to Fort Worth if you have health proble - 3/15/2013
My children relocated me here from Denver, CO due to the cold weather. I was having respitory issues, and back problems. But this was a HUGE MISTAKE! First of all the Doctors here are a joke at best. I have had to change doctors about 5 times in 2years. I had a doctor that her office had roaches! She still used the chart method and kept losing important information in my chart. Then all the doctors asked me why I didn't bring my medical record, and I couldn't believe that they didn't have forms to just send to your old doctors office in order to get your records. They actually thought people should be running around with stacks of their hospital records when they moved from another place. Then because I have pain, I have had the worst time just trying to get my medicine. It seems that a lot of people in Fort Worth, abuse pain medication here, and so it makes it hard for people who really need it. Also, they take forever to get you in to see anyone, and when you do they can't help you

Climate and weather patterns - 11/17/2012
Overall Fort Worth has what I would describe as a mild year round climate with Hot and Relatively Dry Summers, with the recent scorching summer of 2011 being an exceptionally harsh summer which is not truly representative of the Dallas/Fort Worth area's typical summer climate and weather patterns, Winters some years are comparatively almost non-existent.But other winters may have occasional bouts of wintry precipitation as gulf moisture overrides cold and dry air from the north; heavy snowfall and indeed even snowfalls truly noteworthy are rare as a rule. Springlike weather can arrive in almost full force for several days in a row in the middle of January, but Fort Worth winters are rather tame, which is typical of much of the southern u.s. at this latitude, winters as a rule have become noticeably milder overall since about 1995. Spring time weather can bring volatile weather conditions at times but temperatures are comfy. Overall Dallas/Fort Worth has a climate that I would class as

Since North Texas never really has a winter, the growing season is year-round. Allergens are abundant. Even if you don't have allergies you will suffer here. We are trying to relocate to get away from so much

Water Shortages - 10/13/2011
We've lived near many Southern metropolitan areas. (New Orleans, Pensacola, Mobile, Nashville, etc.) We moved here in 2004 and have been very happy, but there are areas that haven't pleased us. Texas schools are the worst I've ever been involved with either as parent or teacher. There are decent private schools beyond our budget. It took me one year to get a teaching license, even though the tests I was required to take were the same as in the pervious state we lived. Auto insurance is the highest we've ever had by about $500.00 more a year. We had to pay $400.00 for our son to attend a driving school because the schools here no longer provide Driver's Ed. Our light bill averages $450.00 a month from May-October, and that's with the thermostat set between 82 and 87 degrees! We must drive everywhere since there is a very limited public transportation system, mostly near downtown. We are avid cyclists, but this is not a biker friendly town. Meat is high; a 3-4lb roast cost about
