Every now and then we meet someone who stands out among the crowd. In this case, it was Professor Carmen Cruz on Friday June 26, 2015 at the gay marriage rally on the square.
After the Supreme Court Ruling passed, an LGBTQ rally began on the square in which several marriages took place spontaneously. Dr. Carmen Cruz was ready for the decision and helped facilitate these marriages on the Courthouse steps, this is where we noticed her. We asked about her past, her present, and what she sees as a future for equal rights in this special WDDI edition of People of Denton.
Read MoreThis week’s top 10 list is brought to you by sitting in a cold, dark room with headphones listening to the Interstellar soundtrack while convincing ourselves it’s not a hundred million degrees outside. How / why is it patios are so dang popular in Denton? What are you people thinking? We have the technology, people. Go find some AC and sip on a freezing tasty beverage while waiting out the end of this incredibly boring and eventless Denton summer. Nothing EVER happens around here. Except in the basement of J&J’s this week which is where just about everything is happening.

Read MoreDowntown Denton awoke to find the familiar and arguably infamous Confederate soldier monument vandalized this morning. The statue in question sits on an arch with non-working segregated water fountains at the base. As of early this morning, it has the words, "THIS IS RACIST" written in red spray painted capital letters across the top of the arch. The statue has been the subject of much debate recently, with many calling to have it torn down or at the very least relocated to a less prominent location. Many others, thought the statue should stay (you can read comments on our Facebook page). A group who call themselves Dentonites Against Racist Traditions, had a few meetings to discuss how to get the statue, which is a Texas Historical Marker, removed. The group, which sought to work to remove the statue within the confines of the law, recently took a break from their meetings to look into removing the historical marker.
Read MoreHarvest House has been open for about four months now and in that span of time it has quickly become one of Denton's most popular bars. But there's a strange Jekyll and Hyde phenomenon happening at this popular bar and venue that speaks to why the place opens at 10am on weekdays. We spoke with Harvest House's Cafe Manager and juicer of many things, Andie Sterling, about the other half of Harvest House that exists Monday through Friday from 10am - 5pm and why it should possibly be your new daytime hangout.
