Cafe on the Square, Denton, TX

[The Barbarian]

There was a customer at the counter just before this shot, but he left...

It looks like a very busy place.?..

 

[The Barbarian]

Normally, it is. I like to avoid getting humans in my shots. (private joke) So I went there about 2:30 PM. It's open 24hrs, I think. Dix Coney Island was originally founded in Detroit, MI, but somehow made it to Denton TX. They make their own corned beef and their Ruben sandwiches are extremely good.

Denton certainly has changed since my time there('66-'68). Like the photo, good feel of depth and great wood tones.

It still has that college town weird vibe, but it's getting bigger. The University is doing very well, under a very energetic and capable president. And the old courthouse square is still very cool.

Wonderful shot! I do like the color better. I've been there a few times. One of my sons is a perpetual student at UNT. Go Mean Green!

Me too, sort of. UNT has a chapter of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. I take classes there regularly. It's inexpensive, no grades, no tests, just lectures by highly qualified instructors. You have to be over 50. They also do trips and other events:

I'll have to look into that.
