Downtown Fort Worth Walking Tour

September 16th, 2010 by Grover McMains

Downtown Fort Worth Burkburnett Bldg.

One of the special attractions of downtown Fort Worth is that a lot of older buildings have been preserved and restored.  The architecture and intricate relief on these buildings gives a character to our city that is missing from more modern downtowns.  History is also preserved with these buildings, many of which have had significant events take place either outside them or within.

Now you can learn about this interesting history through a free, self-guided walking tour.  Nearly two dozen historic markers have been placed thoughout downtown telling the story of the people and event that took place at that location.  Now that the weather is cooling off, it’s a perfect way to see downtown Fort Worth and learn about our city’s history all at the same time.  And guess what?  We have the maps for the tour right here at The Texas White House.  One will be waiting for you when you check in.

Fort Worth Cats Baseball

June 6th, 2010 by Grover McMains

Dodger, Fort Worth Cats mascot

 

I don’t know about you, but for me the cost of most professional sports has really taken the fun out of going.  However, we’ve discovered a really fun and entertaining way to see professional, well semi-professional, baseball close by.  The Fort Worth Cats are one of ten teams that form the American Association of Baseball.  None of the ten teams is affiliated with any American or National League baseball team, but all of them are scouted continuously by big league baseball.  So, the caliber of play is very professional.  What makes it so much fun is the environment: inexpensive tickets, seats close to the action, casual, friendly staff, polite, relaxed fans and good, inexpensive food.  In short, great, wholesome entertainment!  And it’s close by; just north of downtown Fort Worth at La Grave Field.  So, if you want to take that special person on a unique date, a really fun date, try a Fort Worth Cats baseball game and a night at our bed and breakfast.  Check their home schedule at fwcats.com, and then come see us.

The Texas White House Recommends Four Day Weekend

April 30th, 2010 by Grover McMains

The Improv Group Four Day Weekend

There are always new places opening in Sundance Square in downtown Fort Worth.  Some stay around and some open and quickly close.  Take it from someone who knows, that is more internal to the operation than the place just being unpopular.  That also makes those who do stick around seem even more special; so, typically those are the ones we recommend to our guests.  For entertainment in Sundance Square there is no one better than the Four Day Weekend Improvisational Group.  Several of their members have left Fort Worth for the national stage and can often be seen on television.  But regardless of the cast, the quality remains.  The shows are reasonably priced and leave plenty of time to see other attractions while in downtown.  Whether you’re staying at our bed and breakfast or not, don’t miss spending an evening with Four Day Weekend.

Downtown Fort Worth 'Secret'

November 21st, 2009 by Grover McMains

Fort Worth’s downtown can brag about their vibrant re-birth of residential and commercial facilities.  Restaurants, live theater, ice cream parlors and art galleries abound.  But while all those places were coming back into our downtown with lots of fanfare, a little noticed and very unique place sat peacefully by and waited.  The Fort Worth Water Gardens are like no place you’ve ever seen, at least in this country. 

Almost as unique as our bed and breakfast!

Almost as unique as our bed and breakfast!

I say that because it’s impossible to accurately describe the four water and granite sculptures that transform the area south of the Convention Center into a wonderland.  It’s a MUST SEE on your trip here, and it’s about 5 minutes from The Texas White House.
