Surprised to see no updates but I read where the Denton city council voted 100% for the deal this past Tuesday. Project could be operating as early as 2014 Am I missing something?.

Board's been busy with all the bowl stuffs etc so you probably missed it:

I read the previous threads but they were before the city's vote on Tuesday. With the expansion of I-35 and possibly Sac & Save going away (sometime in the future) the area should really be nice.

Meant 2015 above

Sac & Save looks like a dump. Hopefully it's going soon.

The last time I was there was 1999 or so. Saw a cockroach run across the aisle in front of me. Said screw this. I turned around and walked out, groceries still in the cart. Never set another foot in that pizz hole.

Oh man, Sack N Save. There will always be a bit of affection for their wide selection of awful, cheap beer.

Now Pancho's the Mexican buffet that provides numerous live cockroaches with its food (to which the manager absolutely cared not), that place can't be gone fast enough.

I love Sack n Save. Only place I shopped during the poorest time of my undergrad.

As did we all -- but it doesn't have to be the most visible landmark when you pull into the UNT front door either. Just relocate it.

I agree that the sack n save needs to be relocated. It's a ran down grocery store that welcomes potential students, educators, athletes, etc. and it's not a good first impression of the university.

They should clean up the whole area over there, and relocate sack N save, McDonald's, the gas station, and MAYBE Ihop too.

So we can have a really good entrance to the university with more green spaces and trees, and maybe an embodied huge class ring :) just in front of the Alumni building.

Bought my first booze at legal age at that Sack N Save. Back then, we had to drive to Lewisville to get some Panchos. Edited by UNT 90 Grad

Agree. If it goes then where am I supposed to get my Virgin Mary candles and inedible pink cookies.

Did Skillerns replace the livery stable or the blacksmith shop?

Wrong on both accounts.... :(

It replaced the "Yall Come Back Saloon" where Miss Kitty had her first job before she moved to Dodge, KS. :)

GMG!

PS: I know, it's 3:17 in the AM :hair:

      The Band

      Former marching band member and alum with a music degree (and 2 business degrees), so I hope my input has some validity here... The UNT music program has been on a downward spiral the last decade or so. The faculty and TAs are no where near what they were at their height. Lots of older professors have passed and moved on to those with multidisciplinary experience (i.e. jazz and classical) There's a real difference between the current direction and staff from previous era, so criticism is deserved. And hopefully it encourages improvement. It's not a bad program, still pretty good. But if you are looking for top tier music programs, UNT isn't exactly there right now.

      The Band

      financial contributions don't make the members march better, play better, drum better, sound better, stay in sync, have perfect releases, or have confidence in what they are doing....financial contributions buy new shit...new shit doesn't make the members better. a true musician can play with anything, new or old, they are musicians and will be the best because they are the best and are confident in themselves. the best is what north Texas should have in the band, not pretty good with some new horns and stuff. the best is not what north Texas has anymore.

      The Band

      If you do it for a living, then you know that financial contributions have an impact. I’m aware of our status as a music school. That’s part of why I came to UNT. Hence the reason I know a little something about it, beyond the money I simply donate.

      dude, you mentioned it multiple times. it is a call sign for you. you donate, thus you know more than others, cool. money doesn't have to be invested to understand music/bands. some may do it for a living and know, after all music education is a big thing at north Texas, others don't but think they do since they donated. its all good man. to each his own, I suppose
