The End of Heritage Trail Blvd

My spouse & I went to see the movie The End of Oak Street at Alamo Drafthouse today. Basically, it’s a sci-fi movie where an ordinary 1982 neighborhood is invaded by dinosaurs. Towards the end of the movie, when the story was about to take another twist, the power in our theater shut down completely. Those of us who were sitting there in the dark wondered aloud if we were a dinosaur’s next meal. Our theater was conveniently isolated at the tail end of the building presenting an easy target to any hungry hungry huge things.

Fortunately, power was eventually restored. No large lizards appeared. We were even able to watch the end of the movie without a dinosaur perched over our shoulders, although our fellow movie goers did flee the scene...I hope they made it home.

On our way home, we discovered the cause of the suspiciously localized disruption to the power supply. Someone ran their car into a transformer at full tilt. Perhaps they were trying to flee a T-Rex!

Great movie. Much realism! 👍👍

Name for the newest Kroger?

A new Kroger opened in Little Elm (practically Cross Roads.) What should it be called in the Denton Co. Pantheon of Krogers?

Anyone want 17 year old rocks in their ice cream?

Old Nestle Marble Mix Ins for that true ROCKY Road Ice Cream experience. The ingredients list is fairly frightening. What exactly is non-wheat gluten?!

The City Council is exploring an apartment moratorium.

The Texas Government is going to make that difficult because of course it is. Why should any Texas city get to decide what is best for their city? /s

Anyway, according to this DRC article there are 29 apartment complexes currently under construction or in development in Denton. That is an insane number!

New seats at Denton location

The Denton Alamo Drafthouse finally has new seats. Only took them about two years from when they promised to replace them. No more janky bits of recliners coming home with me!

Bread Costs More Than Minimum Wage

It’s official. A freshly baked loaf of preservative-free bread from Ravelin costs more than one hour of work at minimum wage. I’d say we’re in Les Miserables territory except cake is pretty expensive too.

On the plus side, Ravelin is hiring and they probably pay more than minimum wage.

EDIT: This post is about the stagnant federal minimum wage and how it’s being incredibly outpaced by inflation. This problem hurts Dentonites and the small businesses here.

And, yes, cheap, mass-manufactured, ultra-processed bread does exist. That’s not what this post is about.

They’re checking for tickets now.

Today the Denton location had an employee back in the lobby again for the first time since the Great Switch. She was checking that everyone had tickets. She confirmed that they’ve had people sneaking in. What a surprise! lol

Revolving Sushi Bar Grand Opening

Today is the Grand Opening of Kura Sushi, the revolving sushi bar! At Kura, the cold food comes out on small plates on conveyor belts. You can also order hot foods, cold foods, and dessert made to order from an on screen menu at each table. Those orders come out on their own special express conveyor belt.

Drinks are served by robot servers which is fun! Also, you can earn prizes by slipping your dirty plates into a slot at each table. 15 plates gets you one prize with the next prizes in 10 plate increments. I really liked the small plates because you get to try a wider variety of stuff—especially if you share.

Kura Sushi is located in Rayzor Ranch in the same strip mall as Gen and First Watch. It’s down at the end near At Home. Note: the tables are mostly 4 tops but they do have counter seats as well. (Also I don’t work there or anything. I just enjoyed my visit there, and the food was excellent!)
