McKinney, Texas

yesterday we were in the tiny town of mckinney, an hour from dallas. still some snow residues here and there, as you can see. and, i guess no surprise, i was cold... :) but doesnt it look cute, and quite american?
mckinney only exists since 1848, and is named after collin mckinney, signer of the texas declaration of independence. this year, cnn has named the city the second best place to live in the entire us, and its the only place in texas to make the top ten... now i wonder what is supposed to be the best place to live, but its time for breakfast!!

There are so many polls of best places to live! Money magazine, Budget magazine, CNN, and each one rates things differently. AARP had a poll of best places to live for under some dollar amount per year. Some other one ranked best places to raise a family. But I suppose any place that gets a nod is worth taking a look at.

I hope you can manage to get warm!

You are in my part of the country now. I live in Oklahoma and yes, we have a lot of these little towns. Great photos and I am enjoying your trip

@kay; to me, it seems, "the us" always wants to make lists of the best/greatest/largest... etc.
