Thankfully, the doors are now open at Barley and Board, the fancy, new wood-laden brewpub. The space officially opens today, Wednesday, August 12th. Read on for more.

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.

THE DEN10: JULY29th
This 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.
