Read MoreCity councilman Kevin Roden openly vaped during a city council meeting Tuesday evening. Roden pulled from his pocket a vape pen purchased from North Texas Vapor Shop called the “Dr. Dabber Ghost.” North Texas Vape Shop is located on E. Hickory St. in District 1 (Roden’s district).
Read MoreEmporium Pies announced earlier this morning that they will be opening their fourth store in Denton, TX. The pie company has been a staple of Dallas’ Bishop Arts scene for the past few years and has grown to have a very faithful following. Friday morning, the company that features the slogan, “fine pies for fine folks,” announced that they would be opening a new store in Denton in the blue house beside East Side bar on Oak Street that once housed Boyd Girls Vintage Market.
Read MoreIt's been a long week, a frustrating day, and it is too late to start thinking about making dinner at home. We're starving, but the age old question of where to grab a bite and a drink is starting to rear its ugly head. Not sure about y'all, but we will actually get into arguments about this. We know, we live in the land of plenty when it comes to options for this sort of thing, but that doesn't make the decision any easier. Sometimes you just want a quiet and reliable spot and the decision gets a little easier. In a rather unexpected development for us, the bar at Queenie's has become a great escape. Read on to see why you'll find us shimmying up to the bar in our neighborhood steakhouse on the regular.
Read MoreOne of our most favorite things in the world is food. Taking photos of food would probably rank as #2 or #3. That’s why Taste Of North Texas is totally our jam. This is the 27th year that ~35 restaurants from all over the “little d” metro will fill the Super Pit at UNT and offer up samples of what they’ve got to benefit the Denton Kiwanis Club. This event is a Denton staple, sort of like Frenchy (who happens to be their most orange member). We’re excited to check out newcomers Upper Park out of Aubrey, soon to be opening another location on the square & you will probably find us hanging out with John Williams at the East Side / OSDH table for obvious reasons. Tickets prices are $15 for adults (Ages 18 and older), $10 for ages 7 to 17. Children ages 6 and under get in free. You can email them at denton.kiwanis@verizon.net if you’ve got questions and go check out dentonkiwanisclub.org and check out all the awesome ways they’ve been a huge part of Denton.
Read MoreAnyone remember doing those “lock-In” events when you were in Junior High? We do — rollerblading around a basement, playing Truth or Dare, watching whatever the cult classic was at the time for a youth, guzzling two liter bottles of Surge. Ya’ll, remember Surge? We think it’s since been outlawed. If these memories are sweet ones for you, we have good news! You have a chance to relive your zestful youth! And if these images are less than savory to you, here’s a chance to redeem what an “all-nighter” can mean. This Friday, April 1st, the Greater Denton Arts Council (GDAC) is hosting ARTS ALL NIGHT, a fun-filled event running from 6pm-6am! Read on to let us convince you why this is the best way to pull an all-nighter.

Read MoreIt is officially Friday. You've either got the day off for Good Friday, or you're stuck at work counting down the hours. Either way, take a quick break, grab some caffeine and watch the five videos we have for you below. We've got a new tune from Sarah Jaffe, some Denton drone footage, music for mandated state testing (the best kind of music), Wesley Jensen at the Chairy Orchard, and a video from a locally-made comedy series. Check them all out in the post below!
Read MoreThe Denton openings/closings are just too much to keep up with. We use Evernote to keep track of all sorts of stuff that has happened in town and then load up our notes when it is time to write. And even then - in the short span of just a month - when we re-read our notes, we're kinda like, "Oh yeah. That happened." Dirt moves quick in Denton County, y'all. Read on for the local wheelings and dealings in this month's Denton Business Update.
