Le Beaujolais
“Le Beaujolais est arrivé!”
It’s 9 a.m., the start of another busy day at Roy Metzler’s catering business. Roy sits in a booth in the far corner of his restaurant, twiddling his thumbs. His periwinkle shirt matches the blue of his eyes: eyes that are restless and anxious. Catering to 300 people is no easy task.
Vintage Resale
Vintage resale goes green
Balancing on 2-inch 1920s style pumps, college student Amy Leigh models a bright orange sundress with built-in buckle. “I was a vintage clothing virgin until I shopped at Circa 77 and Time Bandits,” she says. She stocked up on a weekend’s worth of one-of-a-kind clothing, plus a stack of records for her parents.
Old Fashioned Ice Cream
Make it a Double
Beth Marie’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream on the Square in downtown Denton churns out homemade ice cream day in and day out the same way it has since opening its doors in November 1998. Thousands of faithful followers and scores of unique recipes later, Beth Marie’s is doubling more than ice cream scoops: They are doubling shops
Wild Beast Feast 2009
Wild beast anyone?
As the Boy Scouts of Troop 140 prepare roasted rabbit on a Coleman stove, a smog of barbecue pit smoke covers the North Texas State Fairgrounds. This is no survival campout. It’s the annual Wild Beast Feast, where cooks russle up rabbit, duck, buffalo, elk, prairie chicken and, yes, alligator for those with adventurous appetites each September.
Denton Water Works
When I top the hill and see the yellow, orange and blue slides, it takes me back to my childhood. Kids are laughing and splashing. When the Texas sun is blazing down, Water Works Park with its 17 acres of liquid fun is the escape.
Denton Farmer’s Market
Taking Root
DENTON FARMER’S MARKET KEEPING IT LOCAL KEEPING IT FRESH
Sitting on the tailgate of his tan ’87 Toyota, farmer and former Navy man Perman Smith enjoys the morning weather while waiting for customers to arrive. The sweet musky smell of cantaloupe fills the air.
