You'd think by now a Starbucks would of sprang up where it now sits but there it is. Standing like a big F you to all that clammering over growth. It's a bit snaky and don't go two steppin across blindfolded or you'll def fall through the rotted ties. But ain't it grand to imagine those billowing iron horses rumbling across it?!?!!!! It's freaking beautiful no matter what condition it's in. Time forgotten time piece. If you go there notice the bridge line closer to the 75 service road. That line was the Texas Electric Railway. It was built AFTER the bigger bridge and it went out of service around 1948. Dart bought the line just to the south.

Master planned community! This square is in the heart of a…read morebig office park, next door to a soccer arena. All this has been built in the past few years, all at once, like the town had some sort of big boom, and some civic planners sat down and tried to conjure up their own utopia in North Dallas. Parking is easy, there's garages not far from here. There's areas for little shops to give the place some flavor, but it's mostly just a well planned communal spot for events, concerts, shows, farmers markets, and other community events. This is where the courthouse, the library, and the movie theater are all located. Pre-planned to be in the perfect spots. The Frisco Square is a public place that allows for you to hang out and do some of the city planned things for free. They show movies on the lawn, ice skating (for a fee) in the winter with a set up pond. They go all out for Christmas with lights, and visits from Santa. If you work at the local Collin County offices or the hospital, this would be a good place to hang out for lunch break or something.

Let's just say I am in awe of the variety of metaphysical items this store has to offer. You can do an Aura Reading. Tarot readings are also available and much more. I believe that whatever you need it will be available here. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I had a great experience while shopping here.

Just walking through the door of this place immediately makes me feel more in touch with my…read morespiritual side. I think this association is due to the fact that I come here almost exclusively to attend their psychic fairs, classes and sessions (as opposed to only shopping). Here you can get a tarot card reading, communicate with loved ones on the other side, find out who you were in a past life and meet your spirit guides, just to name a few of the opportunities for spiritual exploration that they offer. Some of my experiences have been so enlightening and impactful that I would describe them as life changing. As far as the store itself and the merchandise they sell, to me it's more like the gift shop attached to an attraction. Like most gift shops, it's enjoyable to browse, but the goods can be a little expensive. However, these days with the pervasiveness of online shopping, it's the price you pay for the ability to see/touch/smell items before you buy them.

The artwork and animatronics are spot-on, really creative and entertaining. They are proud of their designs, and each location is a little bit different. It's an indoor course you play under UV lights for the "glow in the dark" effect. We find it one of the more affordable mini golf courses ($13/adult, $11/child/senior). It must also be very well-maintained, because we've been coming in for 5+ years now and I have never once thought, "Oh, this part here is getting worn down" or is dirty or needs to be replaced. The staff is friendly and genuinely want you to have a good time. We occasionally avail ourselves of the mini bowling and arcade (there are price packages if you want to play multiple things), but the mini golf is our jam. Anyone sensitive to strobe-light effects will have to stay away, though.

Great ambiance for a…read moredate night or a late night night cap:) If you're a fan of intimate live music and cozy atmospheres, THe Kitchen Cafe in Dallas is an absolute must-visit.

Service: The service her exceptional. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always on point without being intrusive. They're knowledgeable about the drinks and food menu, and they make great recommendations if you're unsure of what to order.

Whether you're catching an up-and-coming local talent or a seasoned jazz veteran, the music always feels fresh and exciting. The acoustics of the space are perfect for jazz, allowing the smooth tones of saxophones, trumpets, and bass to fill the room without overpowering conversation. It's an ideal spot for music lovers, whether you're a jazz aficionado or simply someone who appreciates live music.

It's a place where you can enjoy a night out in the city while feeling like you've discovered a hidden gem. If you're ever in Dallas and in the mood for some live jazz, this café should be on your list. It's the kind of spot you'll return to again and again, not just for the music but for the vibe and the people. Looking forward to listening to more great music this year!!!!

I love Historic Downtown McKinney. We come often for food, bevvies, shopping, comedy/clubs, events,…read moreand holiday activities. They have done a superb job revitalizing especially post-COVID. They understand their identity and have poured into the locale with a solid unifying theme. My only complaint is the lack of planning in parking. With the increase in businesses and activities, they should have planned for more parking especially garages. Parking is a HUGE challenge almost Californian level. Nonetheless we return over and over. It's just a great location.

City of Plano has topped off with lots of great parks with too many wonderful things to do here.

I walk the trail from PSA 2 all the way to Veteran park close, and way back! That's a good 10miles. So proud of myself today and will kindly reward myself with some cupcakes! I can't wait to do this more. I want to thank City of Plano for their outstanding service for keeping all these parks clean and beautiful, also safe. Love my city. Come visit City of Plano.

This was one of the most disappointing customer experiences we've had, not because of a rule--but…read morebecause of how it was handled. Our six-year-old son loves racing. He's been racing regularly since early November at another Andretti location and has already been officially verified as meeting the height requirement for the junior track. We came to this location excited, with family in town, expecting the same consistency. Instead, he was denied access based on a manager's visual guess from behind the counter. No one measured him. No policy was clearly explained. No customer records were checked. And the manager refused to even come out to engage directly. If height requirements are about safety (which we fully respect), then they should be enforced objectively and consistently. Guessing from a distance is not safety--it's laziness and poor leadership. What made this worse was the complete lack of empathy. Watching a child who loves racing go from excited to confused and disappointed--without explanation or care--was heartbreaking and entirely avoidable. The Andretti name stands for precision and professionalism. What we experienced here was the opposite: disengaged management, inconsistent policy enforcement, and a total breakdown in customer experience. We didn't ask for special treatment. We expected competence, consistency, and basic respect--especially when dealing with kids. This experience ruined our visit and seriously damaged our trust in this location. Until Andretti addresses these leadership and operational issues, we won't be returning--and we'll think twice before recommending it to other families.
