“Calendar events, local eats, hidden gem highlights, and festivals! A website isn't a bad idea, but I still like the weekly emails. I'm not as interested in the business info personally; I would go elsewhere for that info. When I read What's Good Denton, I'm looking for fun things to do for me and my family.” — Well said and thank you for your input!
“We're relatively new to Denton and would like objective insights into local restaurants that show Denton at its best, especially for taking guests.” — A new to Denton guide sounds like a good idea 👀
