The slam of the car door sent me scrambling last night. I ran down the street as fast as I could. I knew it was happening all over again. Throughout my body, adrenaline exploded. The terror was back. When I finally stopped, I was alone. The dark streets of our neighborhood reminded me that I was still close to home.

THE DEN10: AUGUST 30th
Rumors of the demise of Denton's music scene are greatly exaggerated. In fact, it appears that the sudden changes in the landscape may have given it a good shot in the arm. This weekend marks the start of the highly anticipated UNT Football season, as well. All eyes will be on the new coach to see if he can pull off a few wins for the Mean Green.

Read More3 SONGS: AUGUST 2016
Colder weather will be here eventually, y’all, and frankly, we’re getting excited. As you trade in those bikinis and swim trunks for peacoats and comically large scarves, you might find yourself looking for tunes to listen to on a lazy rainy day inside, a quiet walk through campus, or to help you get through that unexpected break-up you just went through. In this month’s 3 Songs column, our place to showcase great new music, we’ve branched out a little from our normal Denton-centric content and pulled together several tracks that’ll scare the summer right out of Texas, so plug in your headphones and get ready for some alt-country from Space Mountain, Pablo Maeda and Moonbeamer.
Read MoreA YOGA MOMENT WITH LIZ: WTF IS YOGA?
Alright, y’all. Maybe you’ve noticed the multitude of yoga studios around downtown or perhaps you’ve been driving by the square and witnessed bodies twisting and contorting together on the Courthouse lawn. What the heck is going on and what is this “yoga” that seems to have invaded our wonderful city? I’m Liz King – a Denton native and manager and teacher at Authentic Yoga Life – and I’m here to break down this whole yoga thing and WTF it actually means for our Denton community.
Read MoreWHAT WE DID: AUGUST 29TH 2016
The college kids are officially back now, y'all. Murder Kroger is dangerous even past 10pm and Elm and Locust are both lawless zones where street signs mean nothing. Between that and all of the construction all across Denton, if Mad Max and some War Boys drove into town, we wouldn't even bat an eye. Just be careful out there, folks.
What We Did is our weekly roundup of a few of our favorite photos that have been tagged with #WDDI in the past week on Instagram.
Below are 20 photos from the past seven days of life in Denton, TX. This week we've got scenes from the North Texas State Fair, back to school week, and plenty of great events that happened in town over the past several days.
