To Timothy, Fort Worth, Texas definitely seemed like a place where the cowboys ruled and the buffalo roamed. He was born and had been raised in Chicago and had never been to the great state of Texas prior to his trip there with his wife to visit her brother. Timothy, who had strong symbolic imagery associated with the city of Fort Worth imagined Diane’s brother Buck to pick them up from the airport in his Stetson and chaps. Diane was about to take offense to the stereotype when she realized that Timothy actually respected the archetype and it was something of a thrill for him to get to go to Texas. Still, she thought, it just doesn’t excuse his tremendous naiveté.

When they met Buck at at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Timothy was slightly disappointed that he wasn’t wearing a Stetson after all. However, as soon as they sat down in his Chevy Silverado, Buck put on his rugged Resistol hat and Timothy gave Diane a slight nudge. He drove the couple to his favorite steak house and tried to make one last insistence that they stay with him at his house. Diane was firm though and did not want to be a burden to her brother and his family and insisted that they keep their reservations with their luxury Fort Worth hotels resort.

That night the two families got together for an evening out on the town. Timothy was impressed with Buck’s hosting abilities and really provided the couple with a great tour of the city. Timothy quickly began to realize his misguided illusions about Fort Worth being the wild west and dismissed is expectations to witness a train robbery. Nevertheless he and Diane had a great time there. And Timothy thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated Fort Worth for the city that it is. On that first evening Buck took them to the Sundance Square area of downtown. They had a great time in this vibrant community and danced in a couple of the nightclubs. Timothy had a great time and knew he would want to visit again soon.
