Community News 📰 

🍻 Farewell to Riprocks

After more than three decades in business, Riprocks in Denton has officially closed its doors. Known for its laid-back vibe, late-night eats, and place in Fry Street history, Riprocks was a go-to spot for locals, students, and visitors alike. Many in the community are sharing memories and stories from over the years, marking the end of an era for this Denton favorite.

Community Updates:

• 🚴‍♂️ Community Update: Three Denton County mayors—Lewisville, Denton, and Corinth—are teaming up for a community bike ride this Saturday at 8:30 a.m. The ride starts at the Highland Village/Lewisville A-train Station and follows the A-Train Rail Trail all the way to downtown Denton, with a rest stop at Agora Park in Corinth for water and a quick break. You can ride the full 12.2 miles, turn around whenever you like, or catch the A-Train back to the start. No registration needed—just bring your bike, helmet, and water bottle. There’s also a pre-ride safety demo, and parking is right by the station. (Cross Timbers Gazette)

• 🍽️ New Guides Coming Soon!: We’re thrilled to introduce Denton Eats, your new go to directory for discovering the best restaurants, hidden gems, and local favorites across Denton County, brought to you by What’s Good Denton. But that’s just the beginning! We’re hard at work building out a brand new section of our site dedicated to guides, recommendations, and curated lists to help you explore, dine, and experience the very best our community has to offer. Stay tuned for more ways to discover what’s good in Denton! (Denton Eats)
