Miss Texas Kristen Blair was a runner-up as Miss Fort Worth last year. SPECIAL TO THE S-T/BRANDON WADE ARLINGTON - "And Miss Texas 2009 is Kristen Blair, Miss North Texas." Blair, 22, of Southlake had dazzled the audience at Texas Hall at the University of Texas at Arlington with her vocal range while singing an aria from a Puccini opera.
Much more than just Dallas’s neighbor to the west, Fort Worth is one of the country’s most livable cities, with year-round pleasant weather and a thriving economy that has not impinged upon the relatively low cost of living. Amidst many modern amenities, it maintains a distinctly “western” feel. The city is home to the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame and the National Cowgirl Museum, as well as the Will Rogers Memorial Center and the famous Stockyards National Historic District, where visitors can still view daily cattle drives. Brick-paved streets run throughout Fort Worth, carrying its laidback attitude all the way out to the affluent residents of the surrounding hills.
