- Fort Worth's popular West 7th district attracts people not only from the metroplex but from out of state.

"If you're coming here between like 3 and 6, at least like 20 minutes to get from the 5-way to downtown at least 20 minutes minimum," said Dominic Melendez, who drives along the corridor.

And if it's not the construction that gets you, the trains will when they pass by next to the busy Tom Thumb."Originally they had a fence blocked up so you couldn't even see the establishment because of the fence they had so it's been hard for people to recognize that there's actually a restaurant here and it's been killing sales," said John Cobio, assistant manger at Emmy's Smokehouse.
