We've been reading articles lately that Fort Worth's population will soon be one million.  We've already surpassed Austin in that regard.

With that in mind, I got to thinking of how our downtown compares with other U.S. cities that rank in the top 20 in population. I don't suppose there's a positive correlation between population size and downtown size or density.  Nevertheless, one might conjecture that the more people a city has, the greater the market demand for high-rise construction in the downtown area.  Or, at least, market forces may bear on greater density of a DT area.  I know this comes off as anecdotal theory. But some input from the more knowledgeable here would be appreciated.  Put simply, does anyone here think Fort Worth has a smaller downtown for a city of its size?

What stood out in my memory was the Zuider Zee restaurant, particularly its interior decor.  It had ground-floor seating and a spiral staircase for upstairs seating, if I recall correctly.

Crescent may be more attractive, not so much for its intrinsic value, but the fact that it's closer to the cultural amenities and shopping/eating choices than is Deco.

Could be like West 7th.

I've been absent for extended periods from the forum on account of a heavy workload.  I, too, don't like to struggle with the new login requirement.  So, I am making it a point to stay frequent.
