Last week, the Denton Record Chronicle published an editorial that enumerated on a few issues some claim are plaguing the Denton downtown square. Among the issues are parking, noise, the types of businesses that are attracted to the square and an overall lack of family-friendly atmosphere. You can read the whole thing here. Dentonite Dave Sims (and many others) took umbrage to the piece. This mindset hasn't just been seen in that one location, however. A few City Council candidates in the election that ended on this past Saturday ran on issues related to downtown Denton being a dangerous place in need of more police presneece.
