Fort Worth Chisholm Trail 3D Mural

This mural is painted on a building in downtown Fort Worth's Sundance Square entertainment district.

Got this photo (click on it to see it full size so you can appreciate it's grandeur) of it after eating lunch at the Cajun restaurant
Razzoo's.

Here's a paragraph about the mural from Michael Schuman

"The impressive
and then a link for info on this really cool painting:trompe l'oeil ("fool the eye") mural, painted by Richard Haas, covers an outside wall of the Jett Building in Sundance Square downtown. It depicts two cowboys on horseback watching over a cattle roundup and it appears that the longhorns are charging right off the building."

M. L. LEDDY'S: Hand Made Boots

M.L. Leddy's is world famous for producing hand made high quality western wear, including boots, belts, buckles, saddles, chaps, etc. Basically, if you want to become a cowboy go to Leddy's and you can get yourself set up right.

While perusing through their store in Fort Worth's historic Stock Yards, I picked up a pair of ostrich skin boots and looked at the price tag:
$2,075!

"Wooooo!" I thought. "Hot damn tamales!"

I put them suckers back down and real nicely too 'cause I didn't want to damage merchandise that cost that much.

They also had a pair of jeans on sale for 75% off and they still cost --- get ready for this ---
$375!!

So what I did get, and it was free, by God, was this photograph of their bad ass boot-shaped neon sign.
