We're damned close to hitting 4,000 #WDDI tags on Instagram (as of this post it's within 50). We thought we wouldn't get to that number what with this weekend's rain and all, but a little rain never stopped Dentonites from having a good time. Especially in the summertime when living is easy, right? Just as always, y'all seemed to be everywhere over the wet weekend. Keep on taggin' those 'grams with #WDDI and we'll see you back here next week when we hit 4,000 tags!
A little rain may move us inside, but when the inside gives you bourbon and a great view that ain't such a bad thing.
FREE DAY AT THE WATERPARK
A local radio station sponsored a free day at Denton's Waterworks park if you texted them and showed up between 10am and noon. While we heard some compare the level of crowdedness to that of communist China, you can't really beat a free entry to the waterpark on a sunny day.
Keep cool and stay classy, Denton. By the way, red-haired eight year old, you hit me with that water cannon again and you'll regret it.
@klt8 snapped a beautiful shot of our square from the LSA rooftop which has quickly become one of Denton's best picture-taking locales and an easy way to "accidentally" block people from walking up or down a staircase.
Wondering if the chairs on the ceiling in the new Hoochie's is a thing or just a way to keep stuff off the floor? We'll all find out soon it seems...
Another great view of Lil D through some windows on Hickory. This shot was snapped by @beardnbeerd.
One of our favorite signs around town. Photo cred goes to @klt8.
Did you know that The DIME store carries work from over 50 local makers? Pretty talented little town huh? Photo and awesome chalk by @dimehandmade.
Rain about to descend on Denton. views from the post office by @camilleporter1.
A vintage coffee grinder snapped by @mandykhampton in the courthouse museum right now. That place seems to be getting cooler and cooler.
Have you checked out The Forge at the Denton Public Library's North Branch location yet? If not, do so soon! They have computers packed to the wazoo with great programs, multiple 3d printers, and a nice quiet work space. More on that soon!
But - really, it is though. Thanks for the reminder @katiekernan. Kernan teaches art classes in the summer for kids. Check out her Facebook page for more info on upcoming classes!
Good people helping out with a good cause. The Live United Day of Action was a success for all of those involved. Thanks for being a part of it and helping to put it together, @xtiffanyyoungbloodx! Lots of stuff got done and we've seen plenty of new paint on walls.
An intro to screen printing class taught by @sundayprintshop at @scrapdenton was a success! Check out @scrapdenton for a full line up of their adult summer workshops.
@dentonpubliclibrary thinks this 8 year old has civil engineering in his future by the looks of his stable and sound 'book bridge'. "Buildings and Bridges" was just one of the many summer programs the library is offering. You can find more here.
THAT SOCCER THING Y'ALL LIKE
@sarabutton and friends were caught painting the chapel of the local Salvation Army and doing good deeds during the United Way's Day of Action.
Photographer @melissalaree snapped @zackmitchellart drawing portraits and caricatures at East Side - keeping in tradition with Denton artists being creative just about anywhere and everywhere.
Track Tuesday, was the first video shot by new series Denton Staged, a series of shorts featuring local musicians. If you just moved here or can't recognize book shelves, that's Recycled Books in this shot.
Twilight Tunes moved over to Banter when the grass got all gross and soggy, but that didn't stop Gravity Feed from jamming out. They literally rocked their own socks off, it appears. @mkernan was there to catch all of the good good tunes and action.
From just about every angle @thepaigels is glad to call this place home.
This is how Glen Farris goes on a Target run. 5,000 lbs of bananas anyone?
@leslieminton urges us to all try out Rising Sun Cafe. From the looks of this BLT we all should heed her advice. No taco picture to end on this week. Y'all are kinda letting us down. This is taco-season, jerks.
