Used to be Ft Worth was kinda laid back and more friendly than Dallas but I reckon things were bound to change.

I walked down the middle of 4th street in broad daylight with nobody in sight. All I had was a camera, no tripod, no back pack etc. A guy in a brand new orange colored Dodge Caliber (so called crossover = yuppie SUV) comes wheeling up rolls down the window and says in a feminine sort of snooty voice" "Oh I cannot believe this! I came all the way down here just to photograph that place".

I laughed and said jokingly with camera in hand: "now why would anyone want to take pictures of this old place?" He stared at me dumbfounded for a moment and I said: "well come on man you can go with me I dont mind". I guess he didnt like that idea or the way I looked or something and he just barked "Ok I'll just come back later" and drove away down Commerce St.

Ize jess bein friendly mang no reason to get your panties in a wad!
