Denton has been food truck friendly for a few years now. Heck, we even have a food truck park now. There are a dozen or so trucks that either are based out of Denton, or make it a point to stop by on a weekly basis. While we don't always get to see every single truck we'd like to, and we haven't seen a night as packed as that food truck festival at the DCTA station a few years ago, we still love having the option around. Tonight, however, there are fourteen trucks visiting various parts of Oak and Austin St. and we're pretty pumped about it. Read on to find out what we're looking forward to eating this evening. Warning, we're going to be eating a lot so get ready now (maybe skip lunch).

What We Did is our weekly roundup of photos that WDDI staff and readers have taken over the past seven days. We've got a handful of images from the past seven days of life in Denton, TX. And what a week it was. Saturday, alone, was Doctor Who Day, The DIME Store's 2nd birthday, and the opening of the Community Market for this year. And that was just Saturday! Once again, we did go a little bit beyond our self-imposed 20 photos per post rule with this one, but just because there were so many good ones.
If you'd like to be included in What We Did, tag your images with #WDDI on Instagram, and check back here next Monday. Click the images below to be led back to the photographer's Instagram page. Have a great week!

TxDOT TO INSTALL BACK IN ANGLE PARKING ON 35E
With the recent, unheralded success of the back-in angled parking on Hickory St., the city is looking to expand the experiment to other areas of town. One area in town that only has parking needs at certain times is by Apogee Stadium near the 35E and 35W junction. That area is where the city is currently looking to install back-in angled parking to alleviate parking issues at UNT football games.

THE DEN10: APRIL 1st 2015
This week marks the launch of the city council campaign season and we’ve been busy attending events like the Denia Neighborhood Forum and Kevin Roden’s Campaign Launch party. If you haven’t been paying attention, it’s time to hit up VoteDenton.Org and check out the candidates and find out district you're in (if you don't already know). Your single vote (out of roughly 1,200 in a district seat race), is the most powerful vote you’ll cast in comparison to state or national elections. At any rate, get involved and get active in the future of your city. This election is another important one. As usual, we’ve picked out ten events we think you should attend this week. Get out there, snap some grams and hashtag #WDDI to get featured in our Monday’s, What We Did post.

Read MoreHOW TO PARK ON HICKORY ST. WITH JOEY HAWKINS (VIDEO)
Hickory St. has recently made the change to back in angle parking and many Denton citizens are having a few issues with it. We first reported on the change way back in July of 2013. At the time, many were excited about the additional parking and safety measures that the adjustment would bring about. That said, since Hickory St. has reopened, many have been having difficulty parking in this fashion and about 25% of people haven't been doing it at all. We reached out to city council district 4 representative, Joey Hawkins, to see if he could teach us how to back in angle park.
