The lifestyle scene in Denton, Texas.
Denton is the DFW metro's college town — home to the University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University, with a live music identity that competes with Austin on a per-capita basis. The Fry Street district and courthouse square give it an authentic walkable character rare in North Texas. It's younger, artier, and more politically mixed than its suburban neighbors.
