Saul-It burned last night. My daughter was talking to a friend of hers who was at a bar across the street. According to her, there was a memorial with a group of about twenty people that gathered earlier. Then they left to a place down the street. My daughter's friend looked down at her watch, then noticed smoke coming from the building. Someone had broken out the windows a couple of nights before. It was a tinderbox. And since it was slated for demolition, no charges will be filed. It sounds like arson to me. And there was a power failure on campus due to the fire and all those kids there for orientation ended up out in the parking lots. I have heard rumors that the Tomato will be given a prime spot once the new building is in place. Right now I think the story in Denton is how they are building apartments and condos that students aren't able to afford. Try finding a one bedroom for under $500-it can't be done. I know for a fact because I have two kids in college up there. I think Denton needs to wake up and realize that the only reason they are on the map is due to UNT and its students. There needs to be some type of rent control put in place. It's ridiculous. And THAT should be your story.
