Is Denton in Decline?

Since posting this thread in February we have had a guy arrested at the court house for making terrorist threats, a sex trafficker living in the UNT dorms, and now a 3 hour standoff in a nice neighborhood. DRC Story

This is not the Denton I moved to.

so over the course of five months, Denton has produced a nearly incoherent bible koran-thumping nut, one example of a world-wide epidemic that knows no class or socio-economic bounds and a domestic dispute that makes news only because the person had a gun...and that somehow tells you the city is in decline?

if that's your bar, I'd suggest renting because you're gonna be moving a lot

This is not an attempt to derail this thread, just a related and IMO a relevant question. What is the traffic flow around the stadium area going to be like when September gets here? I haven't been to Denton since the spring game and it was a real cluster-f___ at that time. I went to Lewisville from Dallas on 35 last weekend and IT is a total mess as well; I messed up and ended up going to Lake Dallas before I could turn around. I think this will impact our attendance this fall if there is not substantial improvement by then. An update from a Dentonite would be appreciated.

I live in Lewisville.  It's a pain in the ass to go anywhere north or south right now.  At least I don't have to pay for the privilege of getting my tires destroyed in standstill traffic like I did when I lived in Frisco.
