The only people who love it never lived anywhere e - 8/21/2006
I was born in Dallas and have lived here most of my life (I'm 37). Stuck here because of my ex-husband's job and now I feel I need to stick around because of my aging parents and new husband's job. Here's the truth about this place: the only people who adore this hellhole are the ones who have never traveled outside of the state, or think that it's Utopia because they can get a McMansion for cheap. Everybody LOVES their big houses and their big SUVs here! It's viciously hot in the summer - that's April through September - with everything rapidly turning from green to brown as it dies off around July so it looks like a barren wasteland. If you like the outdoors or beautiful surroundings you'll especially find it depressing. No places to hike, no views to gaze upon, and the only water around (the lakes) are nasty, muddy places overrun with hillbillies on jetskis. Dry land isn't any better...I've traveled to many states and have never seen as much trash on the sides of the roads as I've

I am specifically interested in some of the smaller towns southwest of Fort Worth like Crowley, Burleson, and Granbury. Can anyone give me their opinion on these

Great City - 6/22/2006
I moved here 9 years ago after being transferred by my job. I lived in Houston most of my life and it was so much nicer here. Less traffic, the humitity is so much lower and they actaully have snow once a year.The niightlife is great, has a fantastic downtown with a large population that lives downtown in lofts and apartments. Housing is cheap compared to most of the country. I don't know much about the Ft. Worth schools but we live in the White Settlement school district which is partly in West Ft. Worth and is supposed to be good. They have some excellent private schools.Being in what they call the metro-plex, Dallas, Arlington, Irving,Grand Prarie, etc, makes you part of a larger community with lots of resources.Freindly people as

Bad Public Schools - 6/8/2006
I would love to know how the people who posted about the great schools in Fort Worth come by their information. I have worked withing the FWISD, and had a child in the Fort Worth Public Schools, and it is a joke. I can count on one hand the number of educators whom I came in contact with in this school system, that were dedicated as educators, this includes principals. The rest were abusive, and did not as much teach as they tested and retested for the TAAS. I don't know how bad other school districts are, but from having been in the system through my job and my child's enrollment in the FWISD,I can say that the tax payer dollars could be better spent than on the salaries of the teacher's in the
