Recycle Books Records is a true Texas gem!…read more This amazing used bookstore and record store is located in the heart of Denton, TX inside a 100+-year-old opera house. They have been independently and family-owned for over 40 years, and they are a must-stop for all book and music lovers out there. This store is HUGE with over half-a-million books, movies, music and memorabilia. However, I think what makes them extra special is the curated selection of Horror and Thriller books, including some very unique collectibles. I am more into contemporary, so keep in mind those books are located on the top floor of their second building. Their children's book section was also incredible but frankly I didn't have the patience to go through them. This store can be a little overwhelming so definitely take a breath and ask for help if you can't find the genre you are looking for.

Discovering new bookstores during my travels has become a new passion of mine, so when I checked…read morefor indie bookstores in the DFW area, Talking Animals Books was one of the first to pop up. From the few photos and the name, I thought it would be more of a children's bookstore but I was so wrong. As soon as you enter, the amazing staff welcomes you and is eager to help you find any books you are looking for. Right at the entrance they had the fantasy and romance section which is a personal favorite, and I immediately found a couple of books that have been on my list. I absolutely LOVED that they had self published books from indie authors, which is so rare to find at any local bookstore (you usually have to wait for them to be re-published by a publisher to find them anywhere besides Amazon). They also have a children's section which is super cute, and I found a couple of things for my little one. On the top floor they have a couple of couches for you to hang out and a section of used books. Frankly, this was one of the best bookstores I found in the DFW area, and I can't wait to come back and support them!

Voertman's helped me to manage paying for my education at University of North Texas; the year was…read more1981, and I had just graduated from Denton High School in May of that year; I graduated with honors from Denton High School and started college the following September and graduated from UNT in 1985. I then actually applied for the job of Police Officer for our local police department, and was interviewed by a sergeant in the living room of our Roberts St. house, where I grew up with my three sisters and brother Scott, who was a very good French Horn player who went to the world famous and notorious North Texas State University, where he honed his musical performance skills to the apex playing in the Washington, D.C. based National Symphony Orchestra; his pastor wife, Leslie playing alongside. The National Symphony Orchestra is simply the best representative for these United States on the performance stage, and they share a place in my heart, because I actually was blessed with the sacred fortune of joining the orchestra in St. Petersburg, and Moscow in the year 1990. Students of history will remember that the Berlin Wall came crash down, and I was blessed with fortune of witnessing history in the moment of finality and sincere graceful end. Take it from someone who actually stood in freezing snow, in Budapest then the former Soviet Union, now basically retired and resting. Give Caesar what is Caesar's, and dare enough to turn over the evil tax collectors's tables; Jesus Christ saved us all with His blood shed on the cross at Calvary; I am blessed with a short enough memory to fill in the blanks of my rough and tumble daily routines, all of which are currently being stress tested, found to be safe and robust and currently found to be lacking in some ways, including the nebulous and vital ways. Remember, one cannot "study" for a typical physician ordered stress test, unless you consider the very logical process of changing our dietary habits. If we are really prepared to go the whole hog, we really should be positively anchored in our Lord Jesus and continue to improve when we can manage. Please remember to be your brother or sister's keeper and continue to #PayItForward to the family members who love you and help to improve. Cheers, Mark F.

I just found this hidden gem tucked away in a plaza off the main road, and from the moment you walk…read morein, you can tell this isn't just another coffee shop. Everything about it from the atmosphere to the menu shows that this place is run by people who genuinely love coffee. The staff are true baristas who clearly take pride in their craft. Beyond the coffee, they offer a great selection of food, including kolaches, egg bites, bagel bombs, fresh salads, pastries, and snack boxes, making it an easy spot to grab breakfast, lunch, or just a quick bite. I ordered the drip coffee, and it was outstanding! Perfect blend of smooth, flavorful, and incredibly easy to drink. I also ordered a cortado, and for me, that's the true test of a coffee shop. If you can perfect a cortado, you've earned your place as a serious coffee destination. They absolutely nailed it. The balance of rich espresso and perfectly textured milk was spot on, allowing the espresso to shine without being overpowered. It was also served with a small glass of sparkling water, a thoughtful touch that elevated the entire experience. This is the kind of coffee shop you hope to stumble upon a place where quality matters, the people are passionate, and every cup is made with care. I'll definitely be back. I almost forgot they have a little book shop/store and you can go in study, read a book or just meditate on the word.

This was our first visit, and we absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was cozy, charming, and…read moreinviting--perfect for relaxing and spending time with friends or a good book. It seemed like many customers settled in and stayed for hours, which speaks to how comfortable the space is. The bakery case was filled with fresh pastries, and there were several creative summer specialty drinks to choose from. We enjoyed a rosemary lemon scone, blueberry tea, and a refreshing summer hibiscus lemonade, all of which were delicious. An added bonus is the adjacent shop featuring books, soaps, and a variety of cute gifts. Overall, this is a wonderful spot to unwind, enjoy a treat, and browse unique finds. We will definitely be back!

I have passed by this store so many times when I go to the Tom thumb right by it. I finally went…read more in today and ended up spending 60 dollars. They have lots of items starting at 2 or 3 dollars. Make-up, hair care, skin care, crafts, home goods, pet supplies, snacks, wine, toys and other kind of other little items. The store isn't even that big, but it has all kind of cute and useful things there. Nadia, (I hope I'm spelling her name right)the sales associate, was absolutely lovely. She was pleasant, helpful and greets everyone that comes in the store. I believe the other associate there was the store manager. She was also very nice. I will definitely be back, I need someone to go with me and tell me to put stuff back that I don't need...lol It's an awesome place to buy gifts. The prices maje ir easy to put a bunch of stuff in your basket. I got treats for my dogs, lip balm, a lock for the gym, sunscreen and a few other skin care items, but my favorite was this cute little crossbody, bebe pouch for my phone for 8 bucks. 10 out of 10 recommended. Definitely go check them out.

Whether it's home decor, snacks, dog toys, seasonal items, or random things you didn't even know you needed, there's always something cool to find. Prices are super affordable, and the quality is surprisingly good. It's the perfect place to browse when you want a little retail therapy without breaking the bank. Staff is always friendly and helpful, too. 5 stars all the way!

Since I frequent the JCPenney next door, I was aware that this location was here. However, I only…read morediscovered the weekend before my visit that Five Below was a discount store and not a kids clothing store, lol. Since we were in the shopping center running errands, we decided to stop by and get a couple of things we had been considering for stuff around the house. Upon walking in, the layout was pretty similar. To your left was party supplies, then greeting card, then technology items with games in the back corner. On the right is a majority of your fitness items, clothing and the back right corner is home decor and organization cubes. However, this location seemed quite a bit messier than the shiny location I had visited in Denton a week prior. Their seasonal display was completely empty, just a strange empty spot in the midst of all the clutter. Since we had visited on the same day of the week and roughly at the same time (Saturday at lunch time) as we had the other location, I'm taking a guess that this location is short staffed. I only saw one employee and she was working the register, which is 2 less than what I had seen in Denton. The employee was very friendly and quite cheerful for working by herself. I have no complaints on the service we received at all. I just hope they get her some help, because there were a lot of customers in the store at the time. As a store, this is still a neat concept. I'm always complaining to my husband about dollar stores that shouldn't be allowed to have the word 'dollar' in their name because most of the store is way more than that, lol. This on the other hand, lives up to its name with everything truly being $5 or less. I really like that this is the only discount chain, that I am aware of, that has fitness items. Yoga mats, balance boards, hand weights and many of the apparel and accessories that go with it. That's neat and it's a cheap way to try out a new activity without dropping a lot of cash in case you hate it. They even have skateboards there! Both times I've gone into a location, I've badly wanted to buy the squares to build your own fitness floor. I have no idea why, I wouldn't use it, but I want it, lol. I see this chain as a healthy mix of a place to get last minute items you forgot about (phone chargers, birthday cards, Tupperware, games to keep the kids busy) and a place that gives you ideas on things you didn't realize you needed (lots of storage options, home decor, nifty gadgets like lights for dark corners, a variety of travel accessories). In the ranks of the chain, this location is A-OK and it's worth checking out!
