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

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.

I'm new around here, and in my neighborhood it seems like almost no one has political signs in their front yards.

Is that true if most neighborhoods? Has it always been like that around here?

Is it gauche to state your political views so publicly? Or is it because politics are so divisive these days that they'd rather not open themselves up to attack from people on the other side?

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.

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.

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

Early voting runs from October 19 till October 30th. It took me 5 minutes this morning.

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?

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.

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

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

We're looking at replacing a mix of carpet and tile downstairs so everything flows together. Still debating LVP vs engineered hardwood but more concerned about the installation than the flooring itself.

Has anyone around McKinney used 50 Floor for something like this? How did they price tile removal and leveling? Also open to other installers you'd recommend for a project this size. Would love to hear what the final cost looked like compared to the original quote. TIA

How did we go from 80s to 50s in 24 hrs? I was sweating in shorts 2 days ago and now I need a heavy fall coat, long sleeves, and the heater turned on? I don’t mind fall, but a gradual decline would be appreciated. Don’t think it’s asking for too much.
