DENTON VIDEO BREAK: JUNE 2016
It is officially Friday. The high school and college students have graduated which makes it that magical time in Denton when you can get in and out of Kroger in less than ten minutes.

This month's video post is music-focused and features the likes of Jessie Frye, Daniel Markham/Claire Morales, Stu Brootal, Pansy Moon, and some local folks dancing to JT's new song that has something to do with trolls somehow.
