Here’s how to fix Fort Worth. (It’s not about Dallas, or pilots, or the cow.)

Ft. Worth is the name of one of Texas' largest cities captured in the better-known "DFW" acronym that stands for the Dallas-Forth Worth airport.  Beyond that, much less is known worldwide beyond the acronym, if that much, which is what this piece is about. Here are a few data points noted within:

▪ One in 12 city residents has to go to Dallas for work.
▪ Some outsiders see Fort Worth as hostile to young adults, people of color and foreigners.
▪ Worst of all, Fort Worth doesn’t cross anyone’s mind at all. We’re No. 16 in population but No. 48 in Google searches — less sought than Tulsa or Oklahoma City, down there with Buffalo and Fresno.

I can see how many there would have a love-hate relationship with Dallas, Texas.  This piece by Bud Kennedy offers a few guideposts to the future, including learning to love "DFW."
