iPhoneography: The Texas Hotel

I love neon and I love The Stockyards in Fort Worth. It’s what you think of Texas if you’re not from Texas, except the livestock here is mostly for show now. Main and Exchange is pretty much tourist central or bachelorette party-ville. The further you get away from Main Street, the bars get better, I think. One of the best bars I’ve ever been to was across the street from Hotel Texas. For a northside bar, it was pricey to get in to. The bar itself was in an old, old building, even by Fort Worth standards. It was a smoky little place about the size of two boxcars and was the only place in the Stockyards where you’d hear the band play old Bob Wills and Hank Senior songs.
