Changing Climate - 12/29/2006
The changing climate in this city is making it no longer the "ideal" place to live. Allergies were always a problem in this area but with the warming trend of the past few years they have become even more pronounced. All amnisties of "Cowtown" - and they are many!!! - are no longer the deciding factor in living in the region as they have been in the

Jobs in Fort Worth - 12/11/2006
How difficult is it for a out of stater to find employment in fort worth? My husband and I are looking to move to the area as soon as I can find a job. My husband can transfer with his company, but before we can afford to move I need to have employment lined up. I am a college educated individual who has experience as an administrative assistant, business manager and editor. I am not really picky about the job - I just need to make at least 40,000 a year. If anyone has any advice or knows of companies that I should check out it would be much appreciated. We are really looking forward to the move. Thanks in advance for your

Fort Worth is not bad - 11/9/2006
Sad to hear someone works for the education system and hates it. Wow, what a horrible life that must be. I agree the public school system is not the best but yet, I think many public school systems are not great in this day and age. I have lived in fort worth most of my life. I have been to other states, California, Florida, Arkansas, and New Mexico. I think you have to take in consideration what you want. If you hate cold weather then this might be the place. But you may have to give up your fall. Texas doesnt have much of a fall. Cost of living is great, we have some great buys, and you can live in more home per square foot then you can in California or some other

to the SoCal person asking about Burleson, Granbur - 9/14/2006
I grew up in Burleson until HS then we moved to Granbury. I live in Las Vegas now, but am moving back to Fort Worth.
Granbury is a great little community and it is growing fast. I know you are looking for a lower cost of living and Granbury offers that while also offering the opportunity to make money (RE investments). I would love to tell you more about Granbury... I am not sure how we can contact each other... but I would love to exchange some emails with you.
I highly suggest you check out Granbury. I myself would move there, but my wife is a city girl and Ft. Worth is small enough for her! Eventually though I do hope to own a ranch out west of Granbury

The only people who love it never lived anywhere e - 9/14/2006
Well, if living in Korea, Europe, Las Vegas, Portland (OR), Savannah (GA), Kansas City, and North Carolina, don't count as "anywhere else", then perhaps you're right. Otherwise, you don't know JACK!
You admit you have lived there you entire life, so go figure. If it is so bad, why not move? I thought like you UNTIL I lived elsewhere! After having been gone for over 20 years, I now realize how great a place Fort Worth is.
I had forgotten how nice a place it is, how kind the people are and yes, how inexpensive it is compared to most other places in the USA (especially the Eastern and Western USA).
Every place has it's pros and cons. If you think Texans love their gas-guzz'lin SUV's, then I suggest YOU are the one that has never lived any place else. I moved back to Ft. Worth from Vegas. That place is all about keep'n up with the Joneses. HUGE gas guzz'lin SUV's, H3 Hummers, S600 Mercedes, Land Rovers, BMW's, etc., etc., are every where!

Response to Fort Worth Relocation - 8/26/2006
My husband and I were transfered to Fort Worth a little over a year ago. We have lived in the Fossil Creek area of Fort Worth which is in Haltom. It is a nice area which is one of the newer developments of Fort Worth next to a golf course. Alliance and Keller are also nice areas. Our son moved to Bedford, which is between Dallas and Fort Worth and it is a really nice area. It is like a small quiet town in the middle of two very busy cities. Really strange. If my husband didn't have to commute so far to work, we would consider living there. Oh, and the only thing I can say about living in Fort Worth is I hope you like hot, dry weather and only two seasons. The summer lasts forever and there is about two months of cool weather... Well, maybe I am exagerating a little, but not
