You know you are from Fort Worth , Texas When…

You know you are from Fort Worth , Texas When…

You always know which of the 3 Starbucks downtown to go to
You’ve gotten stuck behind the stockyards’ cattle drive at least 5 times
You eat Mexican food at least 4 times a week
You take all of your guests that aren’t from Fort Worth to Joe Ts
You think Dallas is too far to drive for anything
You swear the Dixie House has the best chicken-fried steak in the world
You can name every BBQ restaurant within a 10-mile radius
You know to get the $%*k out of Stop 6 at night
You don’t measure the value of a parking space by its proximity to the door of your destination, but rather how much shade it has
You w ish they would just asphalt the stockyard roads already
You firmly believe Fort Worth ’s downtown area is better than Dallas ’ downtown area
You constantly have to tell people from out of town that don’t know where Fort Worth is, “It’s 30 miles west of Dallas ”
You can’t understand for the life of you why Joe Ts still won’t take credit cards
You can remember the now-absent stench that used to come from the stockyards
You know somebody that knows somebody that’s friends with the Basses
You have a memorized top 5 list of the best Mexican restaurants in town
You can get anywhere in Fort Worth without ever getting on I-20, I-30, or I-35
You think Shreveport is just 1 step below Las Vegas
You don’t even seem to notice the police on horseback
You actually have enough common sense to not swim in the Water Gardens
You wish they would stop trying to rename White Settlement
You sorely miss the Tandy Center
