Earlier this month, we officially launched Smart City Fort Worth and we don’t know about you guys, but the more we learn about our friend to the west, the more we want to know! Since Instagram is such a great way to get to know a city and its people, we asked our friends at Dallasites101 to recommend a few FTW accounts we all need to follow, like, yesterday. Get ready to read, click, follow, repeat. *hands off mic*
