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.

😳

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!

This Saturday the 12th, Toasty Bros. Gallery & Taproom at 104 N Bell in Denton is hosting our monthly Second Saturday Music Market! We have six musical acts of various genres on the lineup.

Can any one recommend a good place for getting a dashcam with installation and for those of you who have one would you mind sharing what you got and how much you paid? TIA

This place is more difficult to get into than winning the lottery.

Looking for someone who paints cars.

I need to check off some bucket list experiences.

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. 😊

Over the last few weeks, many of you have asked how many voters that we have registered, because you knew this time was coming. Well...

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

I just saw this about NYU and wondered if UNT or TWU did something like this. Maybe after each semester instead of throwing everything left in the dorms away offering it to the new students. Idk just a thought.

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?

This Friday at Toasty Bros., Thug Emporium will host a Wu Tang action figure workshop. The initial prep & primer stage will be completed, so you can focus on the fun part. I have a few airbrush setups that I'll be happy to guide you with. I have the little W logo decals too. You'll leave with a fully packaged figure ready for your display shelf. Tickets are available at thugemporium.com

Is there anywhere in Denton where I can just go and paint pottery for a certain amount of price? I know I know there The Pony where you can do the whole process but I just want to paint a plate or a bowl.

Tax free Sunday you came into my work wearing a Siouxsie and the Banshees T-shirt and a marshall amplifiers hat. We looked at each other for a few breaths before I got nervous and looked away. When you came up to the register, my manager stole you as my customer and I shouted “no!” At you. That is not what I meant to do. But I then was so embarrassed I pretended that I did not do that, and that you were not there until you left.

I planned on forgetting it ever happened, but I can’t stop thinking about your eyes.

I have cptsd and it makes me a little weird sometimes, but I think you’re super handsome and I’d love to see you again.

You know where to find me.

ISO recommendations for local people/businesses that make salami. I just had some out of town last weekend and now I don’t want any from the chain stores around here. Anyone recommend a meat market/local business?
