The culture
by 1Nomad
When you come to Fort Worth, don't expect the usual. Fort Worth is anything but that. Yea, I'm kinda partial. After all, I grew up here. You can easily spend two weeks here and never do the same thing twice. I tried to give you a take of the Fort Worth area, but with Dallas so close to here, if your not happy with what we have to offer, I'm sure you'll find plenty to do there as well. In Fort Worth, it's like living in the big , not so big city. We have our areas of concern, but overall, you'll find it a great place to be. People in this area are from all over. While growing up, this used to be a town of nothing but Texan's. Now, people have found out what a great place this can be and come from all over. You'll get a different blend of cultures and emotions from every angle. If anything, it's anything but boring. If your planning a trip to this area, drop me a line and I'll see if I can help out.
Wood Exhibit Displays
by keeweechic
Some of the woodwork on display was outstanding. I am not usually into wooden products but I couldn't help but like a few stalls with highly polished and turned goods - very unique.

Western Clothing
by grandmaR about Fincher's White Front Western Wear
White Front Western Store was established in 1902 and the Fincher Family purchased it in 1967. I have not been to this store (I took the picture because of the horse statue out front), but their website says that Fincher's stocks a full line of western wear from infant to adults. Included are hats, boots, jeans, shirts, blouses, dresses, and suits and also cowboy souvenirs, western gifts and rough stock riding equipment.
