We're a month and five days into 2016 already and stuff is happening, y'all. Will 2016 see as many changes to the Denton retail, dining, and housing landscape as has been seen in the past few years? It is definitely shaping up to look like that may be the case. Read on to learn about the latest openings, closings, and rumors in the Denton business world.

What We Did is our weekly roundup of photos that WDDI staff and readers have taken over the past seven days. We've got 21 of our favorite images from the past week in Denton, TX below. And what a week it was. We saw future Denton musicians give us a performance at Harvest House, citizens getting in their last climb in at Eureka playground, and plenty of folks celebrating Octoberfest properly on both Oak St. and Walnut St. That wasn't all either. It was a pretty crowded weekend with beautiful weather so we broke our rule and went posted a few more photos than normal.
If you'd like to be included in What We Did, tag your images with #WDDI on Instagram, and check back here next Monday. As always, we're limited in the photos we can post, but we encourage you to search the hashtag #WDDI and check out all of the other awesome photos that we were unable to include this week. Click the images below to be led back to the photographer's Instagram page. Have a great week!

Last Friday evening, we held a pool party / cannonball contest at Denton's Civic Center Pool to raise funds for the Denton Parks Foundation. This weekend was not only the last weekend of the season for the pool to be open, but also the very last weekend of all time for the diving board. The pool will be renovated this year and the new plans do not accommodate a diving board. To give it a proper sendoff, we planned a cannonball contest. The event saw folks of all ages swing by to see how big of a splash they could make (both literally and figuratively) and it quickly devolved from cannonballs to jack knifes and belly flops. By the end of the night we were able to raise almost $600 for the Denton Parks Foundation. The money will go towards the Eureka 2 project which you can read more about here. Below are a few pics from the festivities on Friday evening.

HELP REDESIGN EUREKA PARK!
DESIGN DAY: February 12th, 6PM @ The Civic Center
The beloved Eureka park playground in south Denton has been in service for 20 years. It's been through quite a bit of hide and seek and even a little bit of freeze tag. It's time for an upgrade. And who better to come up with a design for the new park than the citizens who know the most about what they want to see in it, children.
