I've been a McKinney resident for 4 years now, used to brew beer at Franconia back when Dennis owned it. Great town and I know you're limited by time, but you only scratched the surface of the good eats and drinks to be had on the Square!
My mothers home town, I was married in that courthouse. You walked right past a shop that my grandmother used to own. It used to be Kiddie Covers. A childrens clothing shop. Around the corner from the courthouse is the old city jail. Clyde Barrow was arrested and spent some time in that jail. McKinney has grown so big compared to when I was a kid.
Moved to McKinney almost 2 years ago from San Diego California. I haven’t even been to any of those places yet.. didn’t know about a few of them. I’ve been downtown many times and my hair salon is there… need to get down more and try those places!!
When I was much younger, I attended the McKinney Job Corps and never knew such a wonderful place was nearby. I love these old towns that have hung on to their beautiful buildings and there's actually quite a few of them still around. I think the old courthouse in Weatherford is one of the most beautiful ever built. I really want to visit all these places you've been sharing. Think how valuable your shows will be if our economy collapses and all these places close, then you will be recording how good it was before it all fell apart.
It’s so fun seeing shows from places I know. Local Yocal is one of our favorite places, as is the Heard. I definitely need to spend more time on the square to try some of these other gems.
I love all your videos, I am following them, one after the other in order to gather as much information as possible for my trip if all goes well next July (many people have advised me not to travel to Texas at this time, at cause of heat)
This is good but it had to be actually filmed before Covid. The salsa shop has been closed for about 2 years and the candy jars in Mom & Popcorn are all individually wrapped now. But cool to see McKinney represented.
Collin McKinney (April 17, 1766 - September 9, 1861) was a slave owner, land surveyor, merchant, politician and a lay preacher. He is best known as an important figure in the Texas Revolution, as one of the five individuals who drafted the Texas Declaration of Independence and the oldest person to sign it.
Thanks for the video. I have noted a few places that I will check out. Can you by any chance recommend a good hotel in Mckinney. I am going through booking and google the places look fine at first but the reviews are disheartening 😢
I work in downtown Mckinney whats sad about is as beautiful aa it is the homeless problem is so bad! And the powers that be wont allow a shelter and we desperately need to have a place keep these folks safe and work w them to house them and their kids or the elderly they need help we can do better Mckinney ❤
In the county courthouse there is a bottom level with 2 bathrooms that say "Whites Only" and they are both locked from the inside as a symbol to never allow segregation into mckinney again. Worked as a 3rd part electrical contractor and have done a lot of work in that city. Had my own badge for a while.
Ive watched a lot of your adventures, and they seem to be turning into food channel critics. Not bad but Chet you're gonna gain Lbs and the Wranglers aren't gonna fit no Mo! Just saying,,,
Small towns have a lot of fun and food. I am so sick of these channels being forced to advertise these CBD and THC candies.. Please someone tell me how to opt out of these unGodly commercials. Do your thing where it is legal. Please don't force it on me. I will unsubscribe unless you stop promoting these CBD and THC candies.. Please someone tell me how to opt out of these unGodly commercials. Do your thing
Thanks for showcasing our great communities in north Texas and Collin County in particular.

Oh I hope not.
I work a man who works at job corps . Mr. D
The historic cotton mill is also really cool! Part wedding venue, part hip technology offices, part abandoned spooky factory!
Why am I seeing my hometown on youtube this is a fever dream
Haha. TH-cam knows where you live.
Most interesting town so far

That ribeye steak looks SOOOOOO good , I dribbled saliva on the front of my tee-shirt 🤤🤤🤤
Then I'm doing my job. 😜
The fact that Mkinney survived the boiling temps is funny
Chet is far braver than I am. Neither love nor money could get me up on that ropes course.
🤠

You should have stopped at Hutchins bbq
I love Hutchins.
I live in McKinney Texas but the salsa shop shutdown. How long ago was this
You forgot to get some dessert at Pie Emporium.
💋❤️💯
McKinney is not a small town.
Not at all lol
I live in McKinney lol
I thought everyone in McKinney is dead
You should trip to marlin??
Did he say Chef Adam West? You mean Batman is a Chef?
I just posted a short on Local Yocal!
Love that place.
I'm gonna guess that you are a Capricorn.
Libra. But none of those things have ever done a good job describing me or anyone I know well.
