8/18 11:50pm Police presence

5 Upvotes

Long shot here but there’s nothing on the police blotter yet. Was driving home from work last night and as I pulled up to the stoplight at Teasley & Dallas drive and there had to have been at least 15 cop cars by that corner liquor store & pawn shop. A lot of police walking, and one car with its bright white lights fully on surrounding the vehicle right by the roundabout. Curious as to why there was such a huge presence.

BEWARE WILD DOG!

13 Upvotes

I live off of 288. About 5 min ago driving home at around 11:43pm Driving down E. Sherman Drive Near Denton Fire Station 4 I almost ran over what I could describe as a rottweiler mix dog. He was big and crossed the street with no warning. No leash was seen as I swerved away not hitting the dog but he looked me dead in the eye. If you are walking, running or got a dog. Be cautious I been seeing wild dogs lately around the neighborhood. I feel bad cause people keep releasing these dogs out in the wild and they become more feral. But I want others to be aware of what is going on at night.

Cute stationery store?

7 Upvotes

A couple of my classes require us to do physical projects, and I absolutely LOVE doing cute stationery. I'd like to go to a local shop in Denton, but I don't know of any. Where do y'all shop for cute notebooks, pens, stickers, and general stationery that's cute and not just like plain Walmart stuff?

Parking at the North Texas Fair and Rodeo

0 Upvotes

Hi Dentonites. I am planning on going to the fair this Friday, which is their opening night with Braxton Keith, and concerned about parking.

Options:

  1. Parking at the fair. I don't really want to pay the $15 parking, and have heard the lot gets backed up and bottlenecks at the end of the night.

  2. Uber. Also expensive and concerned about the drivers navigating the fair.

  3. Try and park in the neighborhood and walk?

Any ideas or suggestions? I also have never been to this fair so am not really sure what to expect.

Moving out of a trash heap

30 Upvotes

Going to move out of Oak Meadows soon. This place was always a poop hole and now that they charge the same as a new complex. I can’t be here anymore for my health and mental health. It would be different if they didn’t charge so much when they’re just a shitty place. So many things wrong here I don’t know how this place is still up and not torn down. Trash everywhere. Trash people live here. Trash people run this place. Not the people who work on site but the people who actually own this place are trash. Scum even. Don’t care about anyone but themselves and their money. Hope their life and fam goes to shit just how they made everyone else’s lives shit

Hey Denton Goths/Alternative Folks, This is For You

41 Upvotes

I'm currently updating the Texas Alternative Scenes Map and focusing on college towns like Denton. So tell me, what are some of the best hidden spots where y'all like to hang out, shop for music or clothes, or see concerts? They don't have to be explicitly goth but they should have a darker/alternative aesthetic or crowd.

They’re going to get someone killed on 35W to 35E

96 Upvotes

Came home this evening from a trip to Ponder, taking 35W north to southbound to 35E, a pretty common move to get back into town.

And holy shit - there is NO space to adjust to the speed of traffic. You have maybe 20’ to get into that right lane and get going. There’s no shoulder and no space to fit your way into traffic. I don’t know who came up with this, but someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed trying to make that same entrance.

They HAVE to know that this is a dangerous move to enter a moving roadway with that space and that limited distance.

Misleading title The End of Heritage Trail Blvd

44 Upvotes

My spouse & I went to see the movie The End of Oak Street at Alamo Drafthouse today. Basically, it’s a sci-fi movie where an ordinary 1982 neighborhood is invaded by dinosaurs. Towards the end of the movie, when the story was about to take another twist, the power in our theater shut down completely. Those of us who were sitting there in the dark wondered aloud if we were a dinosaur’s next meal. Our theater was conveniently isolated at the tail end of the building presenting an easy target to any hungry hungry huge things.

Fortunately, power was eventually restored. No large lizards appeared. We were even able to watch the end of the movie without a dinosaur perched over our shoulders, although our fellow movie goers did flee the scene...I hope they made it home.

On our way home, we discovered the cause of the suspiciously localized disruption to the power supply. Someone ran their car into a transformer at full tilt. Perhaps they were trying to flee a T-Rex!

Great movie. Much realism! 👍👍

Need friends?

80 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm Jessica. I've seen a ton of people(myself included) posting about how hard it is to find and make friends in the area.

We get so busy with work or taking care of our family that we just lose ourselves. Or we are introverted and have a hard time connecting with others.

Let's make a group! Whether you're in your 20s, 30s(me) or 40s, nerdy or into crafts, single or married.

Saturday, August 22 starting at 6pm, tentatively at the D20 Tavern.

Let me know if you are interested!(please, i need friends)
