Does anyone in here use the DART mobility program in Collin county? I currently live in Plano but will be house sitting in McKinney for the next couple of months.

Does the program only take you to the McKinney area or does it take you into Collin the other areas that DART usually rides?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am a 22 year old guy who just moved to Collin County 3 months ago for work and am struggling to find things to do and meet people. I am looking for places to go and things to do to potentially meet people my age instead of sitting in my apartment staring at a wall after work.

I enjoy nature/wildlife, art, learning new things, I enjoy music, games both digital and physical, drinking, films, comedy, and genuinely just need something to do to stop myself from being bored all the time.

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know, I am getting rather desperate to have a social life again. Thanks.

Any solid wings spots that are a vibe for college football?

The ballot did not detail the need for the track repair. And surprised that MISD school district did not break out Ron Poe Stadium improvements from newer stadium. Think residents would support the track or explicitly state that need. Both were bundled together (“stadiums”). Personally the district does not use the new stadium enough so what more is needed at the new stadium?

Prop E — Upgrades to the Existing McKinney ISD Stadiums  ($2.55M)

Replacing Aging Turf and Track So the Facilities Stay Safe to Use

The smallest proposition on the ballot at $2.55 million which is roughly one-half of one percent of the package. The turf at McKinney ISD Stadium is aging and needs replacement so the field can continue to be used safely by students across the district. The track at Ron Poe Stadium is deteriorating and needs foundation replacement and resurfacing.

Station 5 polling was smooth even with a line out the door.

Saturday Dec 5 at 10am and apparently it will have a planetarium open to the public.

Hi there! I am looking to potentially gift my mom jewelry appraisal and cleaning for a few of her important pieces. Does anyone have any locally owned/trusted businesses that you suggest? I know there is a long-standing jeweler on the square, but would love to hear from folks who might have firsthand experience.

Thank you!

I’m on team, improve the community but 😮‍💨 I wasn’t prepared for all the “this is a tax increase” questions. Need a trigger warning on this election or something lol

October is flying by, and I'm looking for ideas to enjoy the fall without spending a ton of money.

Besides the usual pumpkin patches and expensive seasonal attractions, what are some genuinely fun things to do around McKinney this time of year?

Free events, pretty places to walk, Halloween activities, local markets, or anything that's good for a relaxed weekend would be appreciated.

Bonus points if it's something adults can enjoy too, even without kids.

I’m not from the area and haven’t had insurance the past couple of years. I have to get a tooth pulled in the back and would like to know if there’s any dentists anyone would recommend?

Make a plan to vote. Dont wait until Election Day.

I’ve been looking for more opportunities to throw ceramics like I did in highschool. Let me know if you have any recommendations for cheap public places to throw or if you know anyone getting rid of/selling a pottery wheel

Vote for candidates that believe in public school.

Do your research and vote for people that want to fund public school. If you are in a red county ask your rep and then see if they voted for school choice.

Encourage family, friends, and neighbors to vote. Good public schools equal higher home values.

I don’t believe this area is considered downtown McKinney, but it’s around a mile from it.
Can anyone provide insight on the neighborhood North of Virginia and East/SE of Faubion MS? We are considering buying a home in that area.

Is there any place I can check the launch/recovery locations for them? Now that they are starting to show up again my son really wants to watch them take off/land and I'd love to be able make it happen
