A quick trip to the office, then my oldest and I catch a plane to Dallas, and a rental car (review to come) to Denton. After the first night, he stays in the dorm and goes to student orientation, while I stay at the hotel and attend parent orientation. I will be purchasing much UNT swag, and a sticker for the Vespa. Howdy, Texas! I am happy to send my kid to you for four years. I think you'll like him.
This is what we'll show whenever you publish anything on Kinja:

Got any New England Patriots paraphernalia by chance? Excellent way to make friends and influence people in TX from what I understand.
Have a great trip!

Torchy’s is awesome. There’s one in Casa Linda right down the road from me. I take my BIL there when he's in town. He loves it.

Is this just for orientation? Seems really early for it to be the start of the year already.

Nice. It is certainly that time of the year, as groups of doe-eyed incoming freshman and escorted around my campus while their slightly worried looking parents are escorted around separate ly.

What dorm is he staying in? I just went and picked up my daughter from swim camp yesterday, and we spent a few hours walking around. I love the green, and much of their swag looks cool.
A driving tip if you haven’t encountered this already: if you’re driving up 35 from Dallas, and you’re thinking of getting off at exit 466B just before Avenue C and then turning onto C to get on to the campus, don’t . Its a quick cut across two lanes and over the double white line. The Denton police are running a traffic stop there right now for anyone who does it (I followed Siri’s directions to do this Sunday and got stopped but got off with a warning , and I saw they were still running it yesterday). Instead, get off at McCormick St. the exit before and drive the access road to Ave. C.

Lockhart smokehouse! And its Thursday, so burnt ends day!! I believe Plano is in the opposite direction but they do have a downtown location and another one somewhere else. That place has absolutely ruined brisket for me anywhere else. Its basically inedible everywhere else I have had it in comparison. Oh and the sausage. I could eat there every day if it wouldnt kill me within a month.

Hah! I used to live in little forest hills. Kalachandjis is a really cool experience if the weather is nice. Great patio.

I haven’t even heard of that before. It’s because any time I’m on East Grand, it’s on my way to or from I30. I need to go try that out. I love good Indian.

It’s in the church. Not expensive but really wonderful. I also remember going to G ood Fri end and enjoying that place. Best burger I had around there was at the Cock and Bull. My aunt and uncle used to run a restaurant named Angelo’s. White Rock lake is the coolest area in Dallas or was when I lived there.

You were cute as a baby. :P
Good Friends is one of the best burger & beer places there is. It remains that way because of the bar maids. I call them that as a token of respect for what they do. They know their beers and are a cut above the typical waitress.
WRL is awesome as ever. I do all my biking around the lake, and we’ve been Arboretum members for 18 years. The only thing that kills me is every time there’s a storm, the next day you get to see all the trash washed up that people dumped into the lake. That pisses me off.
