Default Moving to TX for 3 Months

Hey y'all, looks like this yankee will be moving to TX later this week for work. I will be about an hour south of DFW, and I will be there for about 3 months working on a nuclear power plant. Anybody have any ideas on some fun stuff to do in the area? I was there last year foraround a month, so I know the area a little bit. Where are the good bars in DFW (younger crowd), and where are some good places to eat? Thanks all-any help is appreciated.

Oh god, talk about hickville *cough*, just kidding.

Instead of driving all the way to Dallas, Downtown Fort Worth is actually a hell of a lot closer! Sundance Square FTW!

What is in Sundance Square? I have been to the stockyards, but not to Sundance Square. Yes, Granbury is Hickville, but it is slowly getting bigger. Anyone else have any ideas? Thanks

Sundance Square is basically the heart of Fort Worth, albiet the downtown entertainment district. Shopping/Eating/Movies...etc etc. Don't know of many clubs in Fort Worth, I think most of those are in Dallas.

Me being married, I don't get out much !
