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.

Monster Golf is located a stone's throw from Stonebriar Mall. This is our preferred Monster Golf…read morelocation for the course itself. 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. From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in a warm, inviting environment that's perfect for unwinding with great music, food, and drinks. Atmosphere: The ambiance is what really sets it apart. The café exudes a laid-back, intimate vibe, with dim lighting, exposed brick walls, and comfortable seating that makes it feel like you're in a friend's living room--if your friend happens to have amazing taste in music! The soft glow of candles on tables and the close-knit setup create an atmosphere that feels personal and welcoming, perfect for an evening of relaxation or a night out with friends. 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. It's clear that the team here values the guest experience, and that makes the visit even more enjoyable. The owners, Tony and Lisa are always there and very welcoming too! Jazz Music: The main attraction is, of course, the jazz. They hosts a mix of local talent and visiting artists, and the quality of performances is top-notch. 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. Overall Experience: What really makes this place stand out is its ability to create a perfect harmony of great music, stellar service, and a cozy environment. 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.

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.

From the adult perspective - the customer service is lacking, the prices are steep and the main…read moreattraction - the race cars, are slow and expensive. The race cars are really the main attraction here and the entire place revolves around the racing. You cannot make a reservation. It's a first come, first serve situation. There are four racing categories (see below), so if you come with a group of mixed ages or heights you may not all be able to race together (I've witnessed this shock when birthday parties assume they can race together). The Intermediate and Junior Races are slower than you'd assume. I could jog faster, but the WORST part is the speed. They go so slow and are controlled so it's nearly impossible to pass another racer or actually RACE! The Mini Mario has some speed and speed is adjusted based on the general age of the racers in the heat. The cost is $29 down to $15, which doesn't sound horrible, but after waiting for a long time for your group to be called and then racing for 1min to 7 minutes, the cost is really high! High enough you're not likely to get in line and do it again. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Ugh. There are kiosks and a giant line with actual people at a counter. Don't be mistaken YOU MUST go to the kiosk FIRST and fill out waivers, although there are no signs anywhere telling you that. We've filled out waivers on line before arriving, only to find ourselves at the front of the line and told "we can't find it, now to to the kiosks and get back in line". It's awful. The employees don't seem to like their jobs, or likely are sick of people being upset at them for the HORRIBLE process management has set up. We've never been able to find someone on the floor to help us when a video game eats our money or doesn't work either. The guys in the race area are hit or miss. Sometimes they're patient and kind. Other times they mumble and seem pissed off to be there. GAMES: The video games are the same as other places around town, but after driving all the way out here, searching for parking and then racing for 5 minutes we've always felt like we need to play a few games to make the trip worth it. FOOD: We've never eaten here, but it's basic bar food (hamburger, hot dogs, nachos, etc) and the cost is high for such basic food. We'd rather pay the same amount for better food options in the area. All that to say, expect to spend $$$ to come race, eat and play at Andrettis. Make sure your group has checked the height & age requirements to make sure you can race together. And finally, come with a lot of patience. ----- Race Categories ----- ADULT RACE 7- Minute Heat. Adult Races are for drivers at least 54" Tall and either 18+ yrs old or 15+ yrs old with State Issued Driver's License or Permit. Max Weight: 300 lbs. INTERMEDIATE RACE: 7- Minute Heat. Intermediate Races are for drivers at least 54" tall. Recommended Minimum Age: 12 yrs old. Max Weight: 300 lbs JUNIOR RACE: 7- Minute Heat. Junior Races are for drivers at least 48" Tall. Recommended Minimum Age: 7 yrs old. MINI MARIO KART RACE: 5- Minute Heat. Minimum Height: 36″ Tall. Maximum Weight: 90lbs. Recommended Ages: 4-6 yrs old.
