Fort Worth used to be called "Panther City" because it was so quiet here that "a panther could sleep on the courthouse steps, and no one would notice." That description, however, belied that Fort Worth was also "Where the West Begins" and that meant rowdy cowboys, cattle drives, saloons, brothels, gambling and gun fights on the streets of the Stockyards and "Hell's Half-Acre", an area of then-downtown. Depending on the day and time, Fort Worth was both. Today, Fort Worth is described as a city of "Cowboys and Culture", and again it's both. Real cowboys and the Fort Worth herd still roam the streets of the Stockyards although it's now more of a tourist area and home to Billy Bob's Texas. "Hell's Half-Acre" is replaced by a beautiful downtown Convention Center just south of the Sundance Square entertainment district of restaurants, shops, carriage rides and live theater including the Bass Performance Hall. Just west the Cultural District features two world-class museums, the Museum of Science and History's Omni Theater and the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame. And just south of that you will find one of the top five zoos in the country, the world's longest miniature train and a major university, Texas Christian (TCU). One thing hasn't changed all through the years. Fort Worth is still all Texan and proud of it. Come stay in one of Fort Worth's Bed and Breakfast Inns and get up close and personal with all that is Fort Worth, Texas.
