Yeah Pedro's is closed now unfortunately. Tu Hai is a great place. There are actually quite a few good Vietnamese restaurants in the area. Never had King Tut's though I really want to try it. Any recommendations on things to get there BVS?
Fort Worth is sort of the sister city of Dallas I guess (makes me fell dirty saying that
) ABout 550,000 people here. It is called Fort Worth because a fort/camp was set up here in 1849 to protect settlers from Indian/Native American/First American raids. It was named after General Worth who fought in the US Mexican War. He is actually buried in NYC-I think there is actually a statue of him there somewhere. Soon after the camp was set up, people came for protection and to provide goods and services to the soldiers. The rest, as the say, is history.
I guess Southerners are generally more gentlemanly, though with the massive migration to the SUnbelt in the past few decades the line between who is/is not a SOutherner has blurred quite a bit.
BVS has a good explanation about the Texas thing, but I will add this. In my experience, both liberals and conservatives in the state are obssessed with Texas. In some ways it is like a whole other country-large population, an almost nationalistic fervor, once an independent republic/ However, I think that many stereotypes about us are just that-stereotypes. I don't own a ranch, have never ridden a horse, grew up in a big city in the middle of the barrio. In fact, most Texans are urban people. However, many thrive on this stereotype because it enforces the states "otherliness".
Don't worry about giving your own opinions-feel free to opine whenever.
