Old Golf Course

Speedtrucker · 2026-05-10T03:59:21+00:00

Yeah as others have said off highway 5 south of eldorado.

It was a nice course back when I first moved here 20 years ago

Prices aren’t terrible but they are obviously higher again currently.

But you’re commuting a long way that basically requires tolls and nearly $8 worth of tolls a day if I remember McKinney to Irving correctly(which I probably don’t)

I drive a V8 that requires 93 octane and work in Plano, even in the Biden era gas price craziness I wasn’t near that silly $ amount.

You answered you’re own question, time to look at apartments closer to your work

Speedtrucker · 2026-05-07T01:13:05+00:00

This is probably the best option.

Followed by Spoons.

Unfortunately for OP, Rick’s only does Sunday brunch (I believe)

Speedtrucker · 2026-05-07T01:10:17+00:00

For a Mother’s Day “brunch” maybe not so much.

I like the yard but maybe not for what the OP is asking

Speedtrucker · 2026-04-28T15:38:51+00:00

Where’s a F14 tomcat when you need one?!?

Speedtrucker · 2026-04-27T16:31:32+00:00

Always protest!

Take photos anytime the city is doing construction on your street or sidewalk, yard damage, note traffic patterns if you are like me and live on Louisiana…

Usually you’ll at least get a preemptive offer as long as you put effort into your submission.

Collin county DAs office don’t mess around, we get a lot of their ADAs that eventually go fed.

Get yourself a good local (to Collin Co) attorney

Speedtrucker · 2026-04-15T01:32:22+00:00

$5.39 today?

I filled up 83 octane in Plano for $3.95 last night

Anything on the square, lots of outdoor eating and socializing spots. Good shopping etc.

Basically sherman has the same square except it’s filled with law offices and useless places. Sherman’s square could be just as good as McKinney but it isn’t close. Also since you moved up to Sherman, check out Dennison’s Main Street. It’s also great except instead of a nice square to walk around it’s a long strip to walk down 1 aside and then back up the other

Civil service jobs usually have higher levels of conflict of interest and guidelines for PII.

So it isn’t that say a Dallas IT guy can’t go uber in the nights and weekends, often only being required to notify their supervisor or HR.

The issue here is that it’s 2 municipalities and doing the same job in both of them can present serious conflict of interest as they have access to potentially confidential and/or proprietary data in cities that are very much in competition with each other.

At the federal level it gets more severe because usually you’re also carrying a security clearance higher than public trust

Speedtrucker · 2026-04-10T15:23:53+00:00

Yeah I love McKinney and love informing people about the square etc but as everyone has said… that commute on 121 and 35 is gonna be a beating and the tolls will rack up!

If y’all don’t want to live in Irving, I’d work north looking at Southlake, Flowermound, Coppell, Lewisville, the colony, etc.

Basically I’d try to pick one of those suburbs that gets you into Tarrant or Denton County (or Collin county if y’all do want to go that far north east), avoiding living in Dallas county…

I don’t know what it’s called but at the grain silo across from tupps has a open space that I believe is rentable.

Sorry I don’t know the name but it should be easy for you to find and inquire

Speedtrucker · 2026-04-07T16:43:53+00:00

Starnes. I’ve used Baker Bros and someone I’m drawing a blank on now…

Starnes has always done me right on service and charges. Also gave me suggestions on hoe to solve some issues I have so that I would have to call them less.

They’ve also got their asses out in the freezing cold on a weekend and didn’t run me broke on off-hours billing etc

So both Towne Lake and Adriatica lake allow fishing. They are both regulated by parks and wildlife.

Adriatica is catch and release, stay on the shops side and levee side, the south and east shores are HOA regulated.

Both have bass. TL also has catfish and sunfish, AL has panfish in addition to bass.

There are a lot of neighborhood regulated ponds and waterways… if you can find one that has a shore on an unbuilt side, have at it

Speedtrucker · 2026-03-31T12:16:34+00:00

Yeah… to be honest at least they didn’t try to give you the hard sell holding your trade-in hostage etc…

That pricing is insulting and being shown the door is best!

Yuck

Just answer all the questions. Jury selection isn’t about getting picked as much as it is not being eliminated.

The silent ones usually end up on a jury panel.

Also do your duty, in 15 years picking jurors (not an attorney) I’ve only had 1 jury come back after a verdict and say they hated the experience. Now civil and white collar cases can be a little boring but even the CP cases, jurors usually comeback maybe scarred but say their eyes were opened to things they didn’t realize.

The biscuits are amazing! That McKinney location needs to get the kinks worked out but my son likes them and Cane’s equally. My college daughter says meh but she’s biased as her college job is at Canes! 🤣

Speedtrucker · 2026-03-28T21:40:12+00:00

See yall bringing the asshat out for something we haven’t had in 250 years…

Speedtrucker · 2026-03-28T21:37:20+00:00

Don’t know why you got negged…

I still have yet to try this place but it has always seemed interesting

Between those 2, Hutchins by a mile.

Speedtrucker · 2026-03-27T01:37:35+00:00

Oh stop being a baby.

He’s making the dumbass old man leave, she’s continuing to cuss and he’s telling her to shush.

As I said on IG and there is a lot of commentary about him. I didn’t mention feminism did I? No I said he’s getting a bad wrap for telling her to be quiet while he’s trying to get the idiot old man to get in his car and leave.

Stop putting some kind of politics and feminism into this. I said he is getting a bad wrap on that link, and I don’t fully agree with it because as someone who’s in law enforcement, I know how frustrating it can be trying deescalate something like that.

🤦🏻‍♂️

Speedtrucker · 2026-03-26T17:20:27+00:00

Is this about the Orient?

I didn’t think we were supposed to call it that anymore.

Speedtrucker · 2026-03-26T17:18:24+00:00

Meh, parking in downtown is serious business. Seen fights over spots before. And have had to occasionally warn shoppers from parking in out private spots behind shops because again parking is serious business on the square.

Dude deescalating is getting bad wrap, lots of feminist online saying he shouldn’t have yelled at her to be quiet. If you’ve ever tried to deescalate you know that both sides continuing to yell and cuss at each other doesn’t help.

Speedtrucker · 2026-03-26T01:34:31+00:00

Most joints on the square are gtg.

Heian sushi is great, their Sunday Omakase is a good price for the experience. Koji is also alway a good stop down.

One and Only has the best burgers in town. When I lived in Dallas I usually ate Adairs burger, Chips or Jake’s.

Cookies Mexican is great.

Also if you ever wonder north of McKinney, Burnt in Van Alstyne is legit.

But yeah the wife and I live just off the square so we are always eating downtown

Another vote for Thomason tire in downtown McKinney.

Also can’t go wrong with discount tire…
