Bodhi - I'm about 2.5 hours south.
If you like big hair, bar fights and just general oddities of nature - you should check out the Forth Worth Stockyards while you're there. Lot's of totally ridiculous picture opportunites. Of course Billy Bob's...lmao (freaking huge country bar/dance hall). You'll be sure to find a good accent there.
Joe T's Mexican food (N. Commerce?). Hopefully the weather is decent where you can eat outside on the patio. Usually lots to look at on Saturdays - if ya know what I mean.
An funky old place is the Hidaway in Ft.worth. Like walking into a 70's TV show lounge. Lots of stone and dark wood / windows.
All depends on where you're staying. Downtown and sundance square have lots of bars/dining places. One thing about Downtown Forth Worth - It's really clean. At least compared to Dallas/Houston downtowns.
Also - It used to be the Coutyard by Marriot Downtown, but I think it changed names - Anyway, thats where all the American Airlines stewardess's stay. Just FYI.
ah - good times....lol
Don't know much about Arlington. But remember these words: The Clubhouse. If it's still there....
