By now you should have come up with a handful of reasons to explain to your love of Denton to your family. You know this will come up at the dinner table. You know this is going to happen and you’re going to be compared to your little sister who went to New York after graduating from Rice to get a “real job”. Well guess what, shredding papers and sitting by a phone that doesn’t ring for a temp agency isn’t a real job, folks and I’d argue that unless you can get a weekly dose of Royal Bagel’s cinnamon roll and a cup of coffee than you’re aren’t really living. This week's list comes to you as ten more reasons Denton is the finest place you can call home. Get back as safely and as soon as y’all can - but not before snapping photo’s of what you’re thankful for and tagging #WDDI so we can feature them in our What We Did post on Monday.
