***From Ft. Worth Star-Telegram article dated Sunday, June 20, 2004:
Headline:  Fort Worth:  the Vancouver of the South
quote:
"Bing Thom, the architect who's leading the Trinity River design, created a sketch that blends the water, bluffs and high-rises of downtown.
-------------------------------------------
"It's uniquely Fort Worth," Thom says.  "If it looked like any other city, I wouldn't have taken the project."
-------------------------------------------
 If Vancouver faced a similar question about rerouting a river, he says officials would spend 10 years just talking about what to do.  
 "We're so scared to touch nature because it's so beautiful,"  Thom says.  "In Fort Worth, you're not worried because you have to do something or nothing will happen."
