The unspoken rules everyone knows

• “Everyone knows it’ll be 32 degrees in the morning and 100 degrees by the afternoon. So layer your wardrobe and peel like a banana.” — Yolonda W.
• “Fort Worth is not “basically” Dallas. Fort Worth is Fort Worth. Dallas is Dallas. Do not say you live in Dallas when your zip code says Richardson on it.” — @dmthecreator
• “Always stay on the corner of whichever side you’re walking on the Katy Trail or you’ll get hit by a bike — or worse — a rollerblader.” — @aquahina
• “Be in tune with the culture that is embedded in the city.” — Anna I.

We’re kind to our neighbors

• “Capture the story, always capture yourself, and be unique.” — @sweetlifeofluscious
• “Support your friends every Sunday, knowing the Dallas Cowboys aren’t going to win the Superbowl this year.” — @aquahina

• “Clean up behind yourself, treat your neighborhood with ownership.” — @roycestrollvan

We’ve learned a thing or two from commuting

• “Always Uber; there’s not going to be easy parking.” — @quinn83542
• “Beware of brunch traffic.” — @kreepy_kate
