Here are a couple of maps of Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas [gmap].
I make it a point not to insult people's 'hoods on here, because I know that most places are deeply loved and cared for by the people who live in them -- and rightfully so. Pride in one's city is something I always recognize and admire.
That said: I, personally, have never figured out D/FW. I need a guide or something next time I go there, because my many trips there have been sort of harrowing in a monotonous, driving-around-lost, where-the-hell-is-everything sort of way. I'm not gonna put that on the city, though... could easily be my approach.
As an outsider, I've met a lot of people who say they're from Dallas, but I can only remember one guy who reps Fort Worth. I thought that was cool. Guy's name is James and I see him at film festivals a bunch. Don't know the guy well at all, but he seems like a straight-shooter.
