Read MoreThe bean burrito is cheap. You can buy one for $0.99 at Taco Bell. At $1.39, it’s literally the cheapest thing on the menu at Rosa’s – the next closest is a cup of coffee which is a full $0.20 more. You can get one at Fuzzy’s for $3.99, which sounds expensive except that theirs is truly a burrito-sized item and is about half the price of the other, snootier burritos. (Note: The bean burrito has been removed from the Fuzzy’s menu. I believe this is what’s called “gentrification.”)

Read MoreJude Landry is a designer and professor at UNT's College of Visual Arts & Design. He specializes in lettering, illustration, and - oh yeah - screen printing. In fact, in the short few years that he's lived here he has made what is arguable the most popular Denton T-shirt design of all time - the "Oh No You Denton" shirt that you've no doubt seen or own or are wearing right now (it's at least in the top three). He also just happened to the be person we went to when we wanted some help with adjusting our brand. Last week, we launched our new look complete with logo design by Landry. Read on to find a little bit more about one of Denton's best designers including his thoughts on the City of Denton Flag (hint: he doesn't like it much), "designy illustration," and why Metallica is the best music to listen to when screen printing.

Read MoreOn 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.

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