Fort
Worth has always been referred to as the City Where the West
Begins.
Sundance Square
in downtown Fort Worth exemplifies the heritage and history of Fort
Worth. With the support of Fort Worth's Bass family, the 16-block
area was renovated in the 1980s and is now a popular gathering place
for locals as well as visitors. The area features brick-paved streets,
restored storefronts and colorful landscaping, and offers everything
imaginable, including fine dining, live theaters, museums, movie
theaters, office buildings and high-rise housing.
The
Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Performance Hall
(below) was dedicated on May 1, 1998. It is home to the Fort Worth
Symphony, the Fort Worth Dallas Ballet, the Fort Worth Opera and
the Van Cliburn International
Piano Competition. The Hall is located in the Sundance Square
district, occupying the block bordered by Commerce, Calhoun, 4th
and 5th Streets.
The historic Stockyards area is located north of downtown Fort Worth
and is home to many well-known establishments such as Billy
Bob's and Cattlemen's
Steak House.
There are many fine museums, including the Amon
Carter Museum, home to popular Western art, the
Modern Art Museum, the National
Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame and the Kimbell
Art Museum, the city's most well-known museum and a frequent showcase
of some of the world's great art collections.
