Summary
Friends, for years, the Besties have been asked over and over (and over) again about their magical town of McKinney, TX. Since it has also become a hugely requested podcast topic, the Besties are finally BREAKING DOWN MCKINNEY!
Home to the Besties for almost 16 years, McKinney, TX is an epicenter of food, culture, activity, parades, festivals, history, football and so much more! Erika and Shay are sharing their personal history with the gem of a city, how it has grown over the years, what makes it truly unique when compared to other cities in the Dallas/Forth Worth area, and the reasons it has kept it's charm in a world where things seem to change so quickly. From its musician mayor and frequent hot air balloon sightings, to the largest football stadium IN THE WORLD and its magical downtown square, McKinney is truly something special to experience and behold. It is a place that you want to start a business and want to raise your children, where you can walk to the grocery store and feel safe, and where you can find community with every step that you take. We LOVE McKinney!
And of course...Random Listener Questions! Healthy lunch ideas, handling kids' vacation requests, and dating advice! They Besties even have a great suggestion for online dating for singles!
