Recommendations. Olden Days of West Revived; Exchange Ave Conies to Life Fort Worth’s Exchange Avenue has come to life. Any old cowhand knows what that means. It means boot heels and loud shirts, filled cafes and crowded sidewalks, for Exchange Avenue on Fort Worth’s North Side is part and parcel of the Stock Show, which opened Friday March 13, for a 10 day run. Fifty weeks of the year Ex change Avenue is quiet. An oc casional load of cattle headed for the packing house rumbles down its rough bricks, but for the most part it is still. Then something happens. The short little old street begins to stir. Uncle Andy Davis, the horn man, polishes his neckerchief slides and horns. He’s been doing that at his sidewalk post on Ex change Avenue since 1896, the year of the first Stock Show. The Maverick and Longhorn cafes and the Exchange Avenue hotels have begun to fill, where a week ago there were few cus tomers. Cowboys and rodeo fol lowers from all over the country sit in lobbies or lean against store fronts and talk cattle and rodeo in good solid Western drawls. Everywhere there’s hustle and hurry. Yes sir, Exchange Avenue has come to life. The Stock Show’s open. It’s just saying the same thing in two different ways.
