High-Clearance Car Wash

Anyone know of a high clearance car wash to fit a truck taller than 7’4? Self wash or a drive through would be great. New here and just trying to see if there would be somewhere to fit my truck. Thanks!

Can’t contact jury services until date of trial, how screwed am I?

It wasn’t confirmed to me I was on jury duty until a few hours ago, but unfortunately it was 40 minutes before the office closed and I didn’t get a chance to call them back, and they open basically the day I need to be there, problem being I realized I don’t have transportation to get there.

I could suck it up and call an Uber but I’d rather not since I live a ways a way and I’d be expensive, I only have one car in the household unfortunately and it is being used.

Is there anything I can do? Does anyone know of reimbursement for transportation? Is there any office that’s open on weekends I could contact?

Yes I realize it was stupid on my part not to verify the route a bit a ways away, but if anyone could help with any information it would be greatly appreciated!

I got a speeding ticket!! Would my parents find out??

I’m 18 but I’m still under my parents insurance and they have StateFarm. I got my ticket today in McKinney going 52 in a 40. I’m choosing to do a defensive driving class and show up to court in the next few days and hopefully finish the course by this week. My question is would their insurance immediately notify them about my ticket?? I called the court and they said it’ll take 48-72 hours for my citation to be in the system

Live music tonight.

Does anyone know somewhere in McKinney, Anna, or otherwise near by that has live music or at least loud music. I'd like to sit and eat and get some drinks maybe?

Thanks.

Cats in need of a good home

Diesel (M)

Tokyo Drift (F)

Clutch (F)

To make a very long story short, we were feeding a stray that gave birth to kittens in late June. Now we're looking for a home for them or a shelter that can take them in. They're all very affectionate and sweet, we just don't have the room for three cats in our tiny house. The kittens are both orange, one is a boy (Diesel) and the other is a girl (Clutch). The tortico is the mama (Tokyo Drift), but she doesn't act like a tortie at all, she's very clingy and affectionate. Please DM or comment if you're interested in any of them. We just want them to have a nice home, no charge needed

I've been homeless for a whole week and no one has given me a vehicle and a place to live and become my best friend like in all the Stephen King novels I have read? so what now??

If anyone can help me out I am at racetrack on highway 5 I'm wearing a striped shirt and could really use the following items to hold me over until a shelter spot opens up:

  1. a fenced in backyard in the area to sleep in where my toxic af boyfriend i just left and random men wont have access to hurt me
  2. a thin blanket, it's getting cold
  3. a hoodie
  4. socks
  5. deodorant
  6. a lightweight tent
  7. money for food and possibly for marijuana to make the day go by
  8. humanity, love and the benifit of the doubt
  9. a ride to the library my feet hurt
  10. pepper spray or a taser or a bb gun
  11. a job
  12. a T-Mobile phone

ARTIST WANTED

I am wanting to get a gift for a quinceanera that is coming up soon. I was wanting to see if there is an artist out there that can paint or draw a Dia de Muerte style portrait of my goddaughter in a quinceanera dress. Any artist references or AA generation references would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Favorite Places to Work Remotely?

What’s everyone’s favorite place to work remotely in McKinney / Frisco / Plano? Ideally aesthetically pleasing with natural light, comfy seating, and fast internet. Looking for both paid and free-ish options.

I checked out common desk in the square, but it seems overpriced for what you get access to ($150 for 8 day passes that don’t roll over — I’d rather just go to a really good coffee shop 😅).

Best coffee in town

Hey all! What would you suggest as a best coffee we can get here? And I’m not talking about Starbucks, of course😄 Can also be something around like closer Frisco, Plano, McKinney but not too far into them.

Best Places To Play Pool?

One of my fiance and I's favorite things to do for date night is to go play pool and have a drink or two. We are really hoping to find somewhere that charges the table by the hour instead of quarter games but share any of your experiences please! Hoping to find a new favorite spot in town for us to frequent.

Fence Repair

Could anyone recommend a fence repair shop in the area? Someone that could re-true our posts and stain. The shops I’ve called so far won’t stain and would only do full replacement for $15-18k which I don’t have right now.

Bugs!!!!

I (27F) recently moved to the area and into a new construction. I have never seen so many spiders/bugs inside and outside. Giant wolf spiders the size of my palm making themselves at home, even bigger garden spiders taking over every corner of my backyard, small brown spiders behind every door and cabinet, black widows in hidden spaces, random earwigs, and ants galore.

Calling pest control to see if the issue is improper sealing of my home (I sure hope not!!!)… but I guess I’m wondering, will this be an issue forever or is it just because of the new construction? I’m losing my mind feeling icked out. I know most of these spiders are helpful but all I can ever think about is all the bugs surrounding me. We keep an extremely clean home but that doesn’t seem to make a difference at all. Is this normal? Did I buy a crappy house? I’m losing my mind with all these dang bugs LOL

Hairstylist

Looking for recommendations for a woman’s hairstylist. The lady I used to go to isn’t here anymore and I would like to go shoulder length short. All the one’s I’ve researched show off their highlight work but not a lot of short hair cuts. Doesn’t have to only be in McKinney. Thanks!

Bunny owners

Hi, I was wondering if there were any bunny owners in the area or even within Collin County. I am new to the area and eventually want to adopt again but I travel frequently for work and could not find any resources in terms of finding a place to board them or any rabbit savvy veterinarians. Not sure this was a place to post but thought I'd give it a try.

new constructions in south Mckinney

I’m looking for new constructions in Mckinney, ideally close to 121 for the transportation. Stacy Crossing (by Normandy Homes) and Grand Home Lake Forest have models fit my budget. Looking for some advices, e.g., if you have heard anything good/bad about these two communities or builders, or if there are other recommendations in nearby areas. Thanks a lot!

Ear Piercing for 5 year old

My 5-year-old seems truly ready to get her ears pierced. Where in town or nearby did you take your young ones to get their ears done? I'm looking for needle piercing, not the guns. I know I can go to any tattoo parlor in town but was just curious if anyone had high praises to sing about a specific place.

Sports bar restaurant for football

What's a really good place in McKinney or close by to watch Dallas and Cleveland on Sunday. I'm a Cowboys fan and my wife is a Browns fan.

Believe it or not I would not mind a place that had some Browns fans.
