My hometown is Denton, Texas, a small city about forty-five minutes north of Dallas. We call it the northern point of the "Golden Triangle" that includes Dallas and Fort Worth, but no one in Dallas or Fort Worth has heard of this golden triangle.
Here is a photo of my wife Tamara and me in front of the downtown courthouse, a local landmark on the city square.
Denton is a city with a lot of creativity and culture! We have two universities, the University of North Texas and Texas Women's University, and both of them have amazing music, art, and theatre programs. Jazz and classical music are specialties at UNT, but there is every genre you can imagine. Denton is said to have a lot in common now with the way Austin was twenty years ago, and it's not just locals who claim that! Here is a link to a New York Times article that asserts that comparison.
Brave Combo is one of the most unique and fun bands I know, and they call Denton home. Here they are playing at the Denton Arts and Jazz festival, a free event that attracts thousands of visitors:
In addition, Denton has one of the coolest bookstores I have ever explored. It's called Recycled Books and Records. This photo doesn't do it justice; you need to go and see it for yourself!
All in all, if you like music, art, and quirkiness, I highly recommend visiting Denton. Let me know if you are going up there! I'll give you more tips on where to stay and what to see!
