It Ain't About the West Side

Last call for Cowtown? Not so fast, sez Bud Kennedy in a Thursday column:

In the first place, any city with a daily cattle drive, a hall of fame for cowgirls and a Top 20 college football team named for a lizard is not in imminent danger of falling off the personality meter.

In the second place, the west side has never been what made Fort Worth funky.

If you want personality, go look on the south side. Look on West Magnolia Avenue or Blue Bonnet Circle, or over in Riverside or in one of the great north side restaurants on North Main Street.

Most of Fort Worth still has the same old spirit. Meanwhile, the west side has some very lucrative real estate deals.
