Scott K. Parks: Ties to Denton and daily paper run deep

Let me introduce myself. I am the new managing editor of the Denton Record-Chronicle. Its a happy homecoming.

Visitors might look at Denton and see a rather unremarkable Texas town blown sideways by prairie winds and in need of a fresh coat of paint. But Denton is my hometown. I have loved it all my life.

I think it's remarkably great. My father thinks it is remarkably awful.

But it's definitely something.

Yeah, I was kinda miffed at that "unremarkable" opening line.
