Denton Gripes

I love #Denton, but sometimes you have to gripe.

@RideDCTA @ridewithvia I would only do that if I did not have a car. DTCA has given up trying to get people out of cars. In fact, they have put more cars on the road with GoZone. That is sad.

Haven’t been here in a while—trying to give up on Twitter.

Just came by to say that despite my desire to use @RideDCTA the board has done everything to discourage me. That is sad.

Fare increases, lack of Connect route, unreliability of GoZone by @ridewithvia make me cry.

@RideDCTA @ridewithvia Transit app tells me to walk one hour to DCTA Downtown Transit Center. 🤷‍♂️ I know I can ride GoZone, but o have to wait at least 18 minutes, and cannot schedule ahead like old Lewisville on-demand, then it ads $6 on top of A-train fare to my daily commute. At $8/day…

@dTXTransitPosts August and September. The last one was on McKinney around September 8. Earlier it was Sherman at Windsor, and before that 1500 block of Carroll.

Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell.

Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.

MISSING DOG | Violet, a German Shepherd service dog, was last seen in the 3300 block of Colorado. Her owner was transported to a local hospital, so we are working to track her down for him. Violet is chipped, and wearing a service dog vest.

@dTXTransitPosts The camera indicate that the videoing vehicle was going 83. SMH

Typical North Texas snow scene: tiny accumulations of sleet in the valleys of the roof here W of Justin in #Denton County. We had a brief sleet shower overnight which created this winter wonderland. #txwx

@dromgoogle @BashfulBits @Citi The whole promotion was ridiculous. They say, “Move your high interest card balance to us,” but their interest is 2-3 times what my other cards are. It is bad enough my old cards started at 9%, didn’t go down as interest plunged to nothing but have now gone up 2-5%.

Seriously, @Citi ? Are you nuts?

@dromgoogle I thought it was gas or water. Obv some emergency repair of some sort.

[Denton Gripes @DentonGripes]

Saw a lot of equipment and blocked lanes at Windsor and Sherman. Be safe out there.

[University of North Texas System @untsystem]

Parking is the dominant physical feature of the postwar American city.

Not homes. Not strip malls. Not streets, highways, or stroads. Parking. We have a lot of the stuff. https://t.co/5ITO43kgr3
