you'll love Denton no matter your political leanings.
"BEARDTOWN" means ... denton is known throughout the indie circuit in the nation as a town with people.... young adults... who have beards. A large population of the area has beards ... larger then most for a town its size.
You can have a beard in this town and have a job. People dont discriminate ... mostly... because you dont shave. They welcome it in fact.
Beards are a sign of independence. Everything has a positive and a negative. So we all know the stereotypical negatives of beards. But the world is catching onto the positives and shattering the negatives. Denton is at the forefront in America. hah |

Some young men in the 60's and 70's wore beards. I like them when they're short and neat but that's just my preference.
A year or two ago, can't remember when now, ***** Eye for the Straight Guy came to Denton to make over a fraternity house. First thing they got rid of was the confederate flag laying on the floor.  They did a great job. The college guys loved it and more importantly, so did the girls!  |

Trish, Denton County on the whole is a great place to live. I live and teach in Lewisville and we have an excellent school district. Lake Dallas is also well known for its small town atmosphere with excellent schools. I have friends that live and teach and Denton and they love it. :-)

LOL....
Started as a kid that didn't want to get carded, now my wife won't let me shave it, even if I wanted to.
Besides, I figured that guys that don't grow them are just hiding a bald spot!

I live in Southern California. I was looking at a job out there in Lewisville and a home east of Denton off of 288 loop? about 4 miles.
Job didn't pan out so I am still in Cali., but still looking in the Dallas/FW area. I have six kids and am looking for a slower pace, but still want to make the same money. Going to Denton would have cut my house payment in half and landed me a 6 acre 6 bedroom 4500 sqft house with a pool and 8 horse stable.

About Denton
You will love living in Denton. It is a college town and the living expenses are far less than what you are experiencing. The rental rates are very affordable and utilites and groceries are very reasonable. When I lived in Denton the population was 35,000. I am not sure what it is now. People in Denton are very friendly. Good luck to you.
