Read MoreWhile we do our darndest to keep you guys up to date on what's going on in Denton, we're by no means the end-all-be-all source of definitive information. After all, there's a lot going on in Denton County. Lucky for you, there's a lot of people in the know who just so happen to enjoy writing about things on the internet (most likely currently unemployed UNT communication majors). We know how much you guys like keeping up with what's going on. We thought we'd throw some links to other Denton news sources, blogs, and the like to help you expand your repertoire. We've done our best to include only currently-operational blogs and websites (things that have been updated at least once in 2015) that are updated on a regular basis. There are plenty of other webites such as Verb Denton, Vote Denton, etc... that offer great information that just didn't fall into our requirements for this post. Follow along with any number of these, and you'll increase your local knowledge tenfold. If you have a particular favorite that isn't included, feel free to list it in the comments!
