Denton, a hip city votes to ban fracking!

I need to write a more substantial interview article to match what I assigned to everyone in Writing 7A, but I am running a little behind schedule on it.  In the mean time, I wanted to share some articles that were written recently about my home town, Denton!  I wrote an article on it below, but these are much more descriptive.

Here is one published in the Guardian celebrating its quirkiness and small-town vibe.

Here is one in the New York Times on its recent vote to prohibit Fracking, a very lucrative but environmentally questionable practice for extracting natural gas.

And here is an article about the likely upcoming litigation over the ban.
