“From the beginning there was between Dallas and Fort Worth a kind of hyperbolic squaring off, in strong language and deed, of two very different peoples and places. One senses it still. Dallas is softer, shady, an edge of East Texas. Fort Worth has a bigger sky, is a little hotter in the summer, colder in the winter, drier and higher. The West. We are city; they country. Visitors like them better. We try too hard.”-“Is THE Metroplex Big Enough for Both of Us?” by Bill. Porterfield (June 1976)
