  • We know you've probably heard Fort Worth called "Cowtown," but did you know it had a name before that, too? Legend is that back in the 19th century, Fort Worth was so calm and quiet that a panther wandered into town and decided to take a nap in the middle of the street. Is it true? We're not sure, but what we do know is that Fort Worth is no longer such a sleepy place. It's a beautiful, lively, busy cityscape, full of shopping and specialty foods and public art.
    On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy gave an impromptu speech to thousands of rain-drenched spectators on the front steps of the historic Hotel Texas (now the Hilton Fort Worth), followed by a formal presentation at the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce breakfast. The JFK Tribute in Fort Worth’s General Worth Square marks the place and occasion of the President’s historic visit with a beautiful bronze statue set within an elegant plaza.
    The Fort Worth Water Gardens is a refreshing oasis located downtown, adjacent to the Fort Worth Convention Center. The Water Gardens is an architectural and engineering marvel to be enjoyed any time of the year. Daytrippers can experience a variety of water features as they wander through this relaxing urban plaza.
    Ever wanted to create your own little ecosystem while you pick up a new comic book? Well, at Ephemera Terrariums, you can do exactly that! Located in the Magnolia District of Fort Worth, Ephemera Terrariums has been spreading plant love through education, long term plant support, and a healthy dose of creativity since 2014. Stop by while you’re doing some shopping in the neighborhood to pick up a new houseplant, or make yourself an appointment for a plant care lesson ahead of time. Your houseplants will thank you!
    Panther City BBQ was started in 2014 by a group of friends with a pit and a passion for smoked meats. All their barbecue is cooked on-site over 100% Post Oak wood, including brisket for their famous brisket elote! The folks at Panther City BBQ strive to make sure you have a great meal every time you visit - one you would be happy to tell your friends and family about. In fact, they’ve been included in Texas Monthly’s 2021 Top 10 barbecue list, so you know it’s gotta be good.
    Melt has been serving happy ice cream to the fine folks of Fort Worth (and daytrippers like you!) since they opened in 2014. Founder Kari Crowe-Seher had a passion for bringing joy to people’s lives, and since Melt opened its doors, she and her staff have been pouring love into their unique flavors and putting smiles on every face they can. With a menu of “always” flavors (the ones they always serve) and constantly changing seasonal flavors, you can have your pick of an unbeatable classic or a daring new sundae experience.
    Spiral Diner was opened in 2002 by founder Amy McNutt, born out of her love for animals and the environment. On her 21st birthday, Amy had an epiphany: If people could see that vegan food can be delicious, what excuses would they have to not give it a try? Come on, you’re at least a little bit curious. Try it out on your next Fort Worth day trip. We dare ya!
    Did you know that the Fort Worth Zoo is the oldest continuously operating zoo in the country - dating back to 1909? The mission of the Fort Worth Zoo is to strengthen the bond between humans and the environment by promoting responsible stewardship of wildlife and ensuring diverse, high-quality educational and entertaining family experiences through effective and efficient management of its resources. So head on out and take in the wild, wonderful world of animals available to you in Fort Worth!

    Yep you done it again. Quality entertainment with a healthy slice of informative goodness sandwiched in. I can't help but wonder how it all came to be. The journey to day tripper greatness. The home town, family and friends. The guy from normal town heading to weird Austin amidst the rumors and warnings. Did you study broadcasting? Did you act in plays? How about your time in D.C.? Any other shows that you might have been involved with before day tripper. Right down to pitching the show or however the deal came about. All the places and people on the way would not only be a blast for us fans. It would also make a great travel episode for anyone. Chet abides. I take comfort in that. Knowing he's out there day trippin for all of us couch taters. From the gulf of Mexico to the panhandle and beyond...... Ah look at me I'm ramblin' again. I sure enjoyed my self. Catch you later on down the trail.

    There's major history to those water gardens that were passed over which was a major tragedy related to your comment about no hand rails. The Kennedy memorial sits in the center of the infamous Hell's Half Acre which is where the Wild Bunch took their most famous photo. I wonder why out of all the wonderful BBQ places in Fort Worth you choose Panther's. You like Tex-Mex but no mention of Joe T Garcia's. There's no mention of Texas Christian University, Botanical Will Rogers coliseum and the annual Fort Worth stock show, Billy Bob's Texas the world's largest bar or the stockyard cattle drive in the Northside.

There are also waaay better Tex-Mex spots than Joe T's (that's for tourists and margaritas) including several right down the street like La Playa Maya or El Asadero. A little something for everyone.

    I'll sum it up nicely for anyone that doesn't wanna watch, as someone from Fort Worth: An amazing and very fun place to visit, but a BAD place to live unless you have a specific lifestyle and live in a certain corners of Fort Worth. Conversely, Houston is a BAD place to visit but fairly decent place to live is you pick the right sides. Pretty opposite of what people think.
