On the lot sandwiched between the Greater Denton Arts Council and the empty space we have lovingly come to know as 'The Hive' there sits a brightly colored shack that has gone through its fair share of restaurants. This time however, Chef Andres Meraz and his partner are bringing enough flavor and soul to the food that we are completely addicted to what he's dishing out and serving up. Read on to find out what we love about Boca 31, and why you're going to ditch your afternoon Sonic for some of their aguas frescas.

Summer have you searching for new music perfect for driving on these long sunny days?

WDDI THROUGH THE YEARS
Y'all. We're old now. If this blog were a human it would be in like 2nd grade. Actually, we probably would have been held back and about to go into 1st grade for the second time. Either way, we've been around for a while. During that time, we've gone through a few different phases. As we roll out a new logo and an updated website this week, we were reminded of the many logos we've taken on over the years. We thought it would be fun to take a look back at our past as we look forward to the future. Read on to see the many looks of We Denton Do It and a few that didn't make the cut.

Read on to check out some of Denton's most lovable sidekicks.

We’ve even playfully addressed “Mythical Beings in Denton” when footage of the long-fabled White Stag (sometimes called The Christmas Unicorn) was definitively captured on smartphones. This magical sighting has had several folks now asking us: What other legendary critters are maybe really lurking around out there in the Cross Timbers? I’ll break down some of the top contenders and examine how much fact or fiction is involved.
