KJHburg Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Downtown Fort Worth looks great. Clean and busy on a warm sunny Sunday afternoon. Downtown and Sundance Square. Today. This downtown seems more alive than downtown Dallas. Lots of new residential in older buildings. Great retail and restaurants. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJHburg Posted October 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 The Stockyards north of downtown today. 2 new hotels are being built in the district including an extension of Stockyards with Mule Alley which among other tenants includes a Shake Shack (that is funny to me a NYC based burger chain in the heart of Stockyards district) plus new 200 room Hotel Drover. https://mulealleyfortworth.com/ https://hoteldrover.com/ This area was packed with tourists today and with this expansion getting even bigger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancenc Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Great collection of pictures. I was actually in nearby Arlington TX two weeks ago on business but unfortunately did not have time to explore the area. Was able to see the skyline of Fort Worth from my hotel room though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ATX Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Nice photos. Forth Worth and San Antonio get some criticism from skyscraper nerds for their lack of new skyscrapers. But the downtown street activity in both cities is far better than some cities with much larger skylines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJHburg Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 If I was doing the power rankings of the downtowns of Texas the best would be not in any particular order Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio. Both the larger cities of Houston and Dallas are way behind in street level and residential mixed uses in their downtowns. Uptown Dallas outside of downtown is pretty active at the street level and high rises but not so much downtown Dallas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome skyscrapers but built on plazas away from the street or designed with minimal street connectivity. The Williams Tower in Houston is one of my top five favorite skyscrapers ever, but it was and somewhat still is a lone sentinel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJHburg Posted September 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Multiple photos of downtown Fort Worth where the Aggies where they were having a Texas Aggies parade for their game later that day. The stockyards is great and saw the cattle drive for the first time. Don't tell Dallas but I like downtown Fort Worth better. New high end boutique Marriott hotel at the Stockyards now the Drover. It is really nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJHburg Posted September 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2022 Fort Worth today downtown rolling into downtown, along the Trinity River. Check out those Express Toll rates ouch! I went north on I-35W and it was moving pretty good. Check out that new Carvana tower in north Fort Worth! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
