Amon G. Carter, the late publisher of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, said that Fort Worth is "Where the West Begins." That phrase rings as true today as it did when cowboys drove rambling herds of Texas longhorns down dirt-packed Fort Worth streets. And it is the retention of that western spirit that makes Fort Worth unique-the atmosphere is charged with the opposing energies of a fast-paced Corporation and a slow-moving cattle drive. In Fart Worth: New Frontiers in Excel' lence, author Mike Patterson explores all that the city has to offer, from business opportunities to education, from health care to culture and recreation. He notes that Fort Worth is "a city that values substance over glitz... And it's a place and a way of life that can be deceptive to the uninitiated ... the slow-talking western charm often beguiles those who underestimate the talents of Fort Worth businesspeople. Their acumen is as sharp as a prickly pear." Having recovered from the recession of the 1980s, Fort Worth is ready to move in new directions. Accordingly, Patterson chronicles the city's attempts to hold on to its colorful western heritage as it moves forward into new areas of commerce and culture.

Fort Worth: New Frontiers in Excellence is a detailed look at business, leisure, and life throughout the city. Longtime residents and newcomers alike will delight in discovering what Fort Worth has to offer. Vissza
