I've been thinking about something for a while, but it really started to bug me this morning while watching the weather report.
On the radar, the metroplex was marked "DFW." But wait a second, I thought...that puts the D on the west side where Fort Worth is, and the FW over east by (yuck) Dallas.
So from here on out, if I ever have to refer to the metroplex for any reason, I will be calling it the "FWD" area. Not that I necessarily need to acknowledge Dallas' existence very often, but it happens. Who do Dallasites think they are, trying to overrule Geography itself!?
So, Fort Worth friends, help me let the rest of the world know that West is Best. Start calling our part of Texas the "FWD" area. Hopefully by next year, we'll be flying places out of "FWD International Airport." I like the fact that it's an abbreviation of "forward" too. Kind of works like an "onward, upward" rally cry.
Thank you for your support!

This once was a blog for a bike shop... now it's the personal blog of a bike mechanic. I'll talk bikes and bike culture, with a special emphasis on the Fort Worth area.

Got get'em!
FWD it is.
I guess Fort Worth and that Cesspool to the East wouldn't fit well on the map.
The only purpose of some entities is to serve as a warning to others. I think Fort Worth has learned from the mistakes of Dallas fairly well.
I say we drop the D altogether!
I don't know what watered down radar you're looking at. Try intllicast.
All the Doppler weather radars are indicated by the ICOA airport identifier they're nearest to. DTO for Denton, FWS for Fort Worth Spinks, DFW for DFW international, TRL for Terrell, MWL for Mineral Wells, ACT for Waco, etc.
All I've got to say is... Down with D. As most of you know, I work over there and I regularly get asked "when are you going to move to Dallas"... my simple reply is "... but I live in Fort Worth..." They look at me with that lost look and know its no use... let'em stay in dallas.
