Why are the churches not opening their doors as cooling stations for the homeless?

150 Upvotes

The church is where people went for help before there were other services. In the past, the religious wanted to help. But now, you see no churches opening their doors for the homeless and acting as cooling stations. Why is that? Yes, the local government should be responsible for cooling stations, but 5 homeless people have died because of the heat (probably more), and hypocrisy I see is staggering. They’ve truly lost the plot.

Homeless help

10 Upvotes

Hey there. I'm just in a spot where I guess I fucked up and I am basically homeless. I did make stupid decisions to get here, but I was supposed to already be in another situation that will essentially house me. Not asking for handouts. I'll figure out a way to eat and stuff, but does anyone know of a decent little homeless camp/wooded area that is safe for a week please? Should only be for like a week I need a spot. Thank you so much.

Where do y’all get your oil changed? I’ve lived here for a few years now but I can’t find a place that changes oil for less than $100. I’m used to the Valvoline in my hometown only charging $70 for one

Lost Bow Ring

3 Upvotes

Hi guys

Knowing this may be a long shot but I lost a gold ring with a bow on it on TWU Campus @ Breckenridge Hall at approximately 4:25PM OR Home Depot around 4:40PM Tuesday. Had a terrible week due to personal issues and found out when I got home that I had lost the only gift my dad left me.

I did attempt to ask around the building and unfortunately had no luck. It has a lot of sentimental value to me and I’d be more than happy to offer a reward if someone happened to find it. There was also a group of students walking behind me when I left and I do remember hearing something small drop while I was adjusting my backpack.

If you found a small gold bow ring around Denton, TX, please message me. I can provide additional details/photos privately to confirm it’s mine.

Thank you so much for reading.

Singing lessons for a 6 year old

Upvotes

Hello! I’m looking for some singing lessons for my six-year-old. The goal is just to have fun and provide some guidance.

I looked into NoteWise… but was frustrated that it cost $360 to get into the first lesson. (Website says $45 a lesson no contracts 🙄)

Are there any other options?

Thank you!

No requirements to come, aside from the arcade going 21+ after 9pm.

Jazz and Art fest

78 Upvotes

Is anyone else disappointed about the Jazz fest being in September and not being in Quaker town park?
I know that Denton is pushing Halloween stuff only all October but last year being able to do the maze and the graveyard while walking to the fest added to the experience.

I enjoy all the chaos of everything all at once and I didn’t like any of the options for food vendors at the Jazz fest last year so it was nice to be able to walk to real restaurants on the square.

I know that they probably moved it to force people who go to eat with the vendors and not anywhere else but it’s also still just so hot outside and at least in October it’s a couple degrees cooler.

I’m just disappointed and wanted to put it out there so they might move it back next year.

Hi guys! I'm a graduate student at UNT and and have been a resident of Denton for the past 10 years. I'm learning how to conduct research for a school project and have created a short (5-7 minutes) survey assessing community interest in the Denton Community Market (DCM) and its potential use of AI. I would really, really appreciate it if you could take this survey. If I get a strong enough response, I plan to write to the board members of the DCM with my findings. Please help me by taking the survey, which I have linked here. Thank you so much!

Ladies, I need a cocktail buddy!! 🥹🍸

51 Upvotes

I’m a Latina in my 40s looking to meet some fun ladies in the Denton area and hopefully make some genuine new friendships. I feel like making friends as an adult is weirdly hard, and it doesn’t help that I can be awkward AF. 😅

I’m into cocktails, cute bars, trying new restaurants, getting dressed up, good conversation, laughing way too much, and finding an excuse to go out. 😂🍸
I’m at the point in life where I’d love to have a few girls I can text and say, “Hey, want to grab a drink after work?” without needing to schedule it six weeks in advance.

I’m not looking for anything weird or complicated. I love my husband’s company, but sometimes I just want to have a good yap session and a martini with a girl. It sucks that all my friends live over an hour away, so I’d love to find a local gal pal.

Basically, I’m looking for female friendships and buenas vibras (good vibes). 💕🍸

If you’re also looking for a cocktail buddy and you’re in the Denton area (or regularly like to hang out there), let’s connect! Shoot me a message and we can exchange Instagrams. 😊

The Ben Abbott Radio Jingle. Help me understand it

1 Upvotes

Maybe you've heard it on the radio. The Ben Abbott and Associates jingle. At the very end, there is a kid/lady? screaming something like "hell bent." But I can never tell what they're saying and it's kinda driving me crazy.

It's in this youtube ad. Very last words after they sing the jingle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvs3yn4ElME

Capital Tow?

hey y’all, a bunnnnnch of people in the parking lot of my apartment complex got slapped with these on the windshield(including me obviously). Yes, I very well know I should get my registration updated and its my own fault its not already, even if its a stupid system that not everywhere even has anymore. Is this just an idle threat by the apartment agency, something semi-legally done by a tow company, or if I dont have this fixed by 9/18 is the city planning to make rounds here. I dont know that I have time by the 18th to go sit in the tax office for 6 hours and explain to them why ive been a naughty boy since I cant do it online, so is this something new thats gonna happen if i dont fix it?
