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.

The women at the front desks were so nice if you have any questions though. I attended the "Pumpkin with Pizzaz" event at the Smith Public Library. It was such a well organized free event (everything was provided). I had a good time putting together and designing my little fall pumpkin. Thank you to the ladies who organized and orchestrated such a fantastic event!!

Settled in the 1840s and chartered in 1873, the City of Richardson is a municipality of…read moreapproximately 99,000 people, located in northeast Dallas County. As a "first-ring" suburb in the Dallas metropolitan region, its older neighborhoods are 40-50 years old. Homes represent every decade of postwar development, including the new homes available as the city builds out the last of its undeveloped land. Mostly overlooked in the recent property rush, the area offers good value at compelling prices. Prudent and responsive government, interested residents, and well-maintained infrastructure all contribute to the strong roots enduring through generations.

Down the trail, history meets modern day trail planning. In 1874 the H & TC Railway dammed the Cottonwood Creek to make a watering station for steam locomotives. It served the rail line until 1912 when a larger dam was needed and built downstream. While only remnants of the pump station remain, much of the original dam remains intact. Walking onto the trail I could hear the rush of the water long before I could see it. We just don't have things like this too much in Texas, especially in the middle of the city. It's a great place to enjoy a nature walk or take some photographs! Hats off to the city of Allen for making and maintaining this beautiful area for the community! Review #2102

This is a pretty good library for what I've done -- I always visit online and reserve books, then…read moredrop by to pick them up. It always seems loud in here so I wouldn't advise trying to get anything done where you need it to be quiet. I like that they have a drive-up book return too -- very convenient. This library does not participate with the Libby app -- not at the time of this writing -- so if you reserve an ebook, you'll need to download the app they do work with. They FINALLY got more parking added here -- it's been so tough to find parking but there's a long new section of spaces now.

The library I went to for the past 9 years or so. They have a great selection of books, magazines,…read moreDVDs, CDs, etc. and computers for patrons to use. I also appreciate how there are TONS of library events for ALL ages throughout the year. There are story times for the little ones, arts and crafts for kids, video game nights for teens, and reading clubs, Mahjong games, and technology classes for adults, as well as general events for families. Dates and times for such events are conveniently and easily found on their website. My only complaint is that this library is on the smaller end compared to other Plano libraries. Because of this, it's not the best place to sit and study, read, or work. Bummer. It gets pretty loud throughout the day, because the "quiet" rooms are near the Kids section, self-check out kiosks, and entrance, whereas the cubicle-like desks in the back are near open tables where tutoring happens. However, this library serves its function well and has plenty of resources to offer the community. Summary: ambiance (depends on what you're looking for) 3/5, service 5/5.

The very nice Lady was all to happy to direct me where to go! When I got into the building inspection office it wasn't obvious what to do or who to talk to. There were 2 people sitting in what appeared to be a mock waiting room. I waited patiently in front of the counter for what seemed like an excessive amount of time. I was never acknowledged or directed where to go. I finally asked a fellow patron singing in on a clip board marked with a sign that said "Complete Application". He told me to sign in on the clip board and someone would eventually get to me. Overall the experience was good but they could stand to communicate more clearly with better signage.
