As part of our series on the future of downtown, last week we asked you what side of downtown you frequent these days — and gave a third option to indicate you don’t head downtown as much right now.

115 readers responded, and 59 of you (51.3%) answered either “south” or “north.” Meanwhile, 56 respondents said they don’t head downtown very often. In previous reader surveys, we found most of our readers live on the western or northern side of town. If parking in the hustle and bustle of downtown is a pain, consider biking there or hopping on one of the Trinity Metro services.

Downtown is only one of Fort Worth’s vibrant neighborhoods, but plays an important role as the central business district. So we ask you — what do you like to do downtown? Share your favorite restaurants, activities, and events.
