Texas Tales

**REMASTERED** Fort Worth: Hell's Half Acre

Fun, lively, partially accurate history of Texas

We love hearing from our fans!

We have come a long way in our production quality since we started. We did our best to REMASTER some “oldies but goodies” and ensure the production offers a better listening experience. Not perfect, but much better. Hope you enjoy!

Step into the wild, wicked world of Hell’s Half Acre in Fort Worth, where the legends are as large as the Longhorns that once roamed its streets. We're peeling back the layers of history to reveal the raw, raucous reality of this notorious district, from its heyday on the cattle trails to its modern-day mythos. 

This episode is a rollercoaster ride through time, where we'll explore the saloons that never slept, the gambling dens that never closed, and the characters that made this place both infamous and unforgettable. 

Discover how this slice of Texas was not just a place of vice but a vibrant, if violent, community where dreams were made and broken in equal measure. We'll separate the romanticized lore from the gritty truth, showing you the underbelly of Fort Worth's past that's as fascinating as it is dark. 

So, saddle up for an audio adventure that's part history lesson, part ghost story, and all entertainment. Whether you're a local or just love a good tale of the Wild West, this episode promises to be a wild ride through one of Texas's most notorious neighborhoods. Available now, so don't miss your chance to step into Hell’s Half Acre!
