It's a hard man who criticizes downtown Fort Worth. Mostly we hear how it greatly outshines downtown Dallas for street life and synergy.

No kidding.

Brick paved streets and sidewalks, old buildings beautifully restored, and numerous cultural attractions, all bankrolled by the Bass Brothers? What's not to like? The parking lots are certainly no worse than most cities and quite a bit better than many. Ft. Worth's skyline may lack balance (generally due to various demolitions of landmark buildings over time) but it surely doesn't lack for substance.

And I'm guessing those two prominent parking lots to the right are being swallowed up by the last phase of Sundance Square. In any case, how many Sunbelt downtowns have cinemas and multiple bookstores ? Indeed, how many of them have numerous retail outlets (other than restaurants) ?

Poor GSO has a downtown kind of smaller than its size. Winston has a much more impressive skyline and is smaller.

Though, don't be fooled by those GSO pics. There is a large University smack dab in it and makes for some interesting walk ability.

As of a few weeks ago, it is apartments. It was a bank. First & Merchants maybe? The architect was British. I just read about the building's history but didn't take much away from the article it appears
