A Visit to UNT and Fry Street

We went to visit UNT and see what was new on campus. We haven't been to Denton in several years and wanted to find out if any of our old hangouts were still there. They have added several new buildings giving the campus a much updated look. The core of the campus still looks and feels the same as it did when we attended classes. Check out the new fountains they added next to the library. It was such a hot day, we wanted to jump in to cool off.

Fountains next to Willis Library.

Nathan found the clock on the tower of the Administration Building. I worked in this building for the Bursar's Office for a little over three years.

"Can I touch the water?"

"Can we go swimming?"

Fry Street

We walked over to Fry Street to see what it now looked like. We were happy to see that Voertman's Bookstore was still there. We went inside and ended up buying some UNT t-shirts. Most of Fry Street has changed since we lived in Denton. It doesn't seem like the cool hangout spot anymore that it once was.

This is the corner where the Flying Tomato use to be before it was set on fire last summer. Cool Beans is still next door.

This lot is where the Delta Lodge use to stand. Another organization now occupies the land and built this much nicer house.

Fry Street - All the businesses have changed since we left Denton.

This use to be Rick's Place where we went to listen to local bands. It's now a dance club called The Drink.
