"Countrypolitan" charm and true grit
|  Media Relations Contact: March 9, 2004 Take the train to the old and the new "Countrypolitan" charm and true grit Dallas has a passel of pizzazz, but for a breather from all the polish, take a day trip to a laid-back land of true grit -- Fort Worth.
A short walk or ride on T Bus Route 1 brings visitors to the "countrypolitan" charm of Sundance Square, where restaurants, bars and boutiques exhibit a uniquely Western flair. Stroll, window shop or take in a refreshing beverage and people watch. For those who crave a taste of the real West - rodeos, cattle drives, barbecue, saloons and live country music - the Fort Worth Stockyards delivers the goods. A short ride on T Bus Route 1 from the ITC or Sundance Square takes you to the Stockyards where Fort Worth lives up to its billing as the place "Where the West Begins." The Cultural District provides a delightful contrast to Fort Worth's dyed-in-the-duds cowboy culture. It's home to the Kimbell Museum, the Modern Art Museum and the Amon Carter Museum. For something a little different, the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, featuring the spectacular Omni Theater is located next to the art museums. To explore the Cultural District, take the T bus Route 7 from the ITC. Visit www.DART.org/artsandscience for details of the current exhibits.  Any excursion to Cowtown is made all the sweeter by destination deals available to transit users throughout the above districts. By simply presenting a valid DART, T or TRE ticket or pass, customers receive discounts and special offers at participating shops and restaurants. In fact, take advantage of discounts at multiple merchants and you may cover the cost of your transit day pass.
