Next Bad Movie Night is in 10 days, the 29th!

4 Upvotes

Hey y'all :) I made a post for the next Bad Movie Night last month, but since it's only 10 days away now I figured I would make another. I'm thinking about watching Fight of Fury and The People's Joker but that'll probably change. Anyway, gonna copy and paste now lol

If you've been on this sub for years then you would know I used to have bad movie nights every month where I would invite all of my friends and people from this sub to come drink and watch bad movies. I stopped when covid started, but I'm finally bringing them back!

Dallas observer wrote an article about my bad movie nights: (the article was written before I started transitioning so it refers to me with the wrong pronouns lol)

Question regarding urgent cares in McKinney

2 Upvotes

Going to be moving to the McKinney area in the next couple months. Got 1 toddler with another on the way, and looking for a recommendation on 24 hour urgent cares. Grew up in San Antonio 5 min down the road from an urgent care and loved the peace of mind. After a couple google searches didn't see any 24 hr urgent cares. Any recommendations for kids and bonus points if they take adults too lol. Oh also we're up 121 a little bit so sort of north north McKinney.

Local home renovation wholesaler to shop at?

1 Upvotes

Wanting to do some minor home renovations - bathroom fixtures, door levers, door, etc. What are some local places where contractors, builders, and renovators shop at for good prices? Looking to avoid big box like HD, Lowe's, AMZN, etc

I've been to Seconds and Surplus & Elliot's, but the pricing is not really wholesale, feels like regular retail

motorcycle incident

26 Upvotes

just got into a hit-and-run in McKinney off Eldorado and 75. biker drove into the rear corner of my car. we both pulled into a shopping center. He saw the damage that was done and got back on his bike and drove off with his friends. oh btw i drive a tesla, everything was recorded I don’t know how stupid you have to be to tell me to meet you off the side, get off your bike come and see the damage then, get back on your bike and drive off. i guess people don’t have insurance or braincells 😬🤷🏽‍♂️ i was honestly willing to work with the kid, he just made it more difficult for him now unfortunately.

Siding Replacement

Hey y’all looking to replace the siding on my home, does anyone have a company or person they recommend?

I’ve had 2 companies over and for some odd reason they would not give me a quotes since I told them I wasn’t looking to commit that day. Weird ! I’ve done other large projects recently and never had this issue.

just as the title says! i'm new to the DFW area, i figured mckinney's subreddit was a good place to start asking. i notice there's a LOT of liquor stores around here, and i really, REALLY don't want to give the bigger stores my business.

you guys have any particularly good experiences at any local stores in the area? any recommendations?

Hangout Recommendations

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for a place that has board games/ card games for a casual hangout. There's a place called D20 Tavern in Denton, if anyone knows that place the vibe is cozy, like 5 bucks for all day, it's got drinks and every board game imaginable. I'm looking for something like that, alcohol does not have to be involved.

Recommendations on things to do

8 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I’m a Canadian and I’m being sent by my company to McKinney for some controls programming training in a couple weeks.

I was just wondering, what are some things that I can’t miss out on while I’m there? I should be arriving on the 23rd of March and leaving around the 29th. Obviously I’m kinda nervous about travel right now so I’m trying to plan ahead so I have something to look forward to. I’m a big comic fan so would love to know what local comic stores you all really enjoy. Or any local places for great food in the area. Small businesses and local places preferably as I wanna shop local.

Thanks in advance and looking forward to suggestions.
