Quote History Quoted:
We are looking at taking a trip at some point in March. Staying at a B&B in Fort Worth, near the medical district, according to my wife. The Rosin House, I think.
Anything we should check out/avoid?

Are you looking to have a nice trip, or are you coming to research moving here?
If both, then whenever you go somewhere to visit, simply drive around in an increasing radius before or after each place. Sure, there are some nice parts of downtown/uptown Dallas, but what's it look like a couple blocks over from Deep Ellum? Sure, the Fort Worth Medical District has some nice restaurants (pro-tip, every medical district in the nation has great restaurants), but how's the next neighborhood over? Don't drive directly to your destination, drive the freeway loops to get a feel for how long it takes to drive from DFW Airport to Benbrook, Weatherford to south Arlington, etc... Maybe think about how long of a commute you're willing to endure, and see how far out of Fort Worth you can get in that amount of time, in different directions (e.g., one hour west takes us past Weatherford, one hour east puts us in the middle of Dallas, one hour North is still Tarrant County due to traffic, one hour south is Stephenville which is two counties away)
EDIT: Oh, this isn't specific to our area, but I thought about it while agreeing that the best place to live is generally further west in the metroplex: But if you work a day shift, consider living east of your workplace or buying some good sunglasses. I can't stand the fact that at various times of the year, I drive directly into the rising sun and the setting sun on my commute.
