Hello! This post isn’t for me, but it’s for someone who is very close to me. He went to Job Corps to specialize in concrete finishing, and ever since he got out, he hasn’t been able to find a job. In the past 6-7 months, he has applied to 25+ jobs, he isn’t getting any calls, emails, or texts. He doesn’t even get an interview. He has called multiple concrete companies, he has driven to multiple of the concrete offices to ask for a position, and he has even contacted his old instructors to help him with getting a job. He has been VERY determined to get a job, but his motivation is disappearing.. It’s gotten so bad, he has given up and applied to McDonalds. I don’t want him to give up just yet, Reddit is honestly our last resort. I wanted to see if anyone has any ideas or resources that I could send to him.
He’s 20 years old Not much work experience, but knows enough about concrete to be able to work
Anything helps, thank you!
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!
I’m not out looking for UFO’s or anything, but I’m just curious about what they were, or if anyone else saw them.
All of my family that lives near me is either out of town or with their in-laws and I don’t have any friends in the area. Where can I go, in the McKinney area, to still have a fun night for Thanksgiving?
Hi everyone! My name is Yohance, and I’m moving to McKinney this January. I wanted to start a run club after noticing there weren’t many options on Instagram or Reddit. Having been part of a few run clubs this year, I’ve come to love the sense of community, motivation, and social connection they provide. Plus, running with others is an amazing way to improve both your mental and physical health! 🏃♂️💪
This club is for runners of all levels—no matter your pace or experience! I’m an intermediate runner, usually doing about 5 miles at an 8ish-minute pace. The plan is to structure our runs with different pace leaders, so everyone has a group they feel comfortable with.
If you or someone you know is interested, we’d love to have you! Click the link to join our GroupMe for discussions, updates, and connections. Follow us on Instagram at redrail_runners. We’ll share post-run photos, celebrate our runners, and provide details on upcoming run locations, dates, and times.

Let’s hit the ground running!
I was curious what the community feels is missing from McKinney food wise?

Hi, has anyone had a positive experience with Trophy Signature homes. We are looking to purchase in McKinney but we are seeing so many negative reviews. Thanks!
Does anybody have any advice on where to locate a nanny, in searching for one to come work for my family and watch our 2 twin boys (3 months) while my wife and I work from home.
I’ve tried care.com and at 28-30 an hour we might as well do daycare.
Thanks in advance!
Good day everyone, I just moved here a month ago and am in the process of finding a small apartment for myself. 1/1's are ok but does anyone have any recommendations or where to stay away from? Pool/Gym would be great, but not really necessary. Can anyone point me in a good direction?
I have been using Microcenter for repairs but it is a LONG way off. Does anyone know of a reliable PC repair place in or about McKinney?
So I just got a new apartment and am not a fan of the cabinets. I want to just get some renter friendly contact paper to cover them but I don’t want to do the work 😂 Is there anyone that provides this as a service
Hey neighbors! Any public stairs nearby that are good for running?
37yo man here, never married, moving to McKinney for a job. Are churches my best bet for meeting singles here? Or are there more viable options?
Hi - longshot here, but while out running errands today a necklace I was wearing came loose and the Taijitu (Yin/Yang) charm fell off. It's silver colored, about 3/4 inch tall with a clasp on top. I think it happed at either the Kroger or Shell parking lots on Lake Forest / El Dorado, around 2pm. If by some miracle it turns up, I'd be extremely grateful for its return. Thanks!
I left to go to college and last time I was here I went to InkInc because every Tuesday they did a buy one get one free for piercings. Are there any other places like that?? I saw they closed down online but they were so nice !

We decided to change things up this year and go out to eat for Thanksgiving. Does anybody know anywhere in McKinney, Allen, Richardson, etc that is open on Thanksgiving? Preferably with a Thanksgiving menu. Thanks!
