Car Towed

Were y’alls car towed at allen outlet near Hawaiian bros? I saw so so so many cars getting towed, and saw them break a car window driver side, and police was assisting them in towing, so I am sure they were not thieves lol, was wondering if anyone got theirs towed.

Looking for my first apartment. Recommendations and help appreciated.

I'm a single male looking for a 1 bedroom/1 bathroom apartment in the price range of up to $1,350 preferably. It's going to be my first time living without roommates and I want to be closer to where I work (east McKinney, at most a 20 minute commute). So I'm looking at places in both McKinney and Allen and was hoping to get some recommendations from anyone who lives in the area, either current or previous resident. Looking to move sometime in the first half of 2025.

A few places on my list are:

McKinney village apartments, Bridge at McKinney, Orion McKinney apartments, Auberry at twin creeks, Trails at creekside, Gray Branch Apartments

Was hoping to see if anyone could vouch for these places or recommend something better. When u look at Google reviews I get too hung up on the bad reviews, it seems like they all have issues no matter where you go. Some say its a great place while others say its the most terrible place in existence lol

I prefer somewhere safe and quiet, im sure that goes without saying, somewhere that has a homey vibe and prefer gated but not required. Somewhere near good shopping locations and nature.

Thanks for any help!

Rehoming kittens

I found two kittens in July during a job I was doing. They were super small and stayed lumped together. I looked around for a mama cat came back and hour and half later and the didn’t move so I figured I’d take them.

They’re about 6 months old ones a fixed male tabby the others a not fixed female calico. The tabby is not an agile kitten he’s easily frightened but loves to play. The calico is a very agile kitten super brave and curious.

I thought I’d be able to take care of them because of how little work I’ve had these past two years, but for some reason it’s not stopping. I can’t spend as much time with them as I want. I’ve called around a few for shelters but theyre booked or they kill animals.

Neither of them have scratched our furniture. We’ve given them options to scratch the itch to scratch. They’re used to have their nails trimmed too.

If possible would anyone like two kittens? I’d rather keep them but it’s not up to me.

They have a whole starter kit: two litter boxes, toys, some cardboard scratchers, and an upright scratcher.

Respectfully F**k Whoever Spilled Their Garbage on W McDermott

At 1:45 pm I walk home from the local Crunch Fitness only to realize there's trash everywhere on the trails back to my home. I went back out at 2:00 PM with a garbage bag in hand only to realize there's more trash. So I spent 45 minutes of my time to clean up the community by HAND because Allen didn't hire anyone to do so. So respectfully f**k whoever decided to spill their pizza party garbage on W McDermott! Keep our community clean! It provides mental and physical benefits! This is coming from a 17 year old!

Gym with Sauna, other than lifetime?

Basically the title. Looking for a Gym with Sauna which is not exorbitant. A family of 4 at lifetime runs around 400$+ a month, which is way high for most people. I would have loved for the new rec center (SRTC) to have a sauna included but they don't have one, especially since they price abot higher compared to other McKinney or Plano. Any pointers will help, thanks.

Mountain lion

Pretty sure I spotted a mountain lion at the pond on Bel Air Dr. by Norton Elementary at 7:00am this morning during my run. Wondering if anyone else has spotted one in the area recently - I’ve seen the posts and news articles of sightings around Plano. Stay safe out there!

Anyone else had to replace multiple tires in the last few years? I live near Exchange and Greenville

It's getting comical. In the last two years since I moved near the Exchange/Greenville area, I had to replace my 3rd tire this morning due to a nail. I know there's a lot of construction off of Exchange with the HEB last year and new construction housing. Not to mention the roof replacements. It just feels a little cruel at this point.

Allen football tickets for little ones

Hi all, I want to take my kindergarten age son to his first high school football game to see Allen in the playoffs on Friday but was curious if you had to purchase a ticket for a baby who is only one years old?

Moving to Allen. What do I need to know?

My spouse and I are moving to Allen in a couple months. What are some things we need to know about the area?

Apartments you like or ones to stay away from, good restaurants to try, fun events and functions to attend… things of that nature.

Also if you have any recommendations for a good PCP, that would be great!
