Bedford, TX - My Home Away From Home 4 rating By Anonymous ( Jul 27, 2012) Bedford TX is the place I visit at least once a year.It has been something my family has done for almost 6 years. During college football season, it is definitely the place to be. Whether I'm in the mood for local attractions, community, nightlife, restaurants and or shopping, I ...Read More can find it all in Bedford TX. There are of course a few things that I don't like about Bedford, TX but for the most part I always enjoy my stay. The arts is huge in Bedford, TX and I usually end up attending a few shows during my stay. The Artisan Center Theater and Colleyville Cinema & IMAX theater are the places I embrace when I visit. They have great shows full of live dancing and impeccable music.

I can never fall in love with the fact that attractions and shopping can be a irritating thing due to the fact that nothing is close to each other. I've never been a fan of driving so that is the one thing that I don't enjoy when visiting Bedford, TX. Historical attractions is a must see when I visit. I get to enjoy Struge Cultural center, Texas Rangers Baseball and Nash Farm. These few historical attractions usually take up my entire day.

Shopping and restaurants go hand and hand when it comes to Bedford, TX. Cafe Sicilia and Labella Italian restaurants are my two favorite and have been for over 6 years. Italian restaurants are extremely popular in Bedford and I've joined the crowd.You can find international to Japanese style restaurants in Bedford making eating more like a sweet experience.I have made Bedford, TX a great part of my life and will continue to do so. There is no place like Bedford and anyone who enjoys a solid cultural like Bedford would definitely agree. Read Less
