McKinney arbitrates between Dallas metropolitan gravity and Collin County historic-square identity. Downtown rooms fill with families who chose deliberate distance from the city, while Eldorado hosts the commuters who work across the Metroplex. Craig Ranch draws the master-planned energy. Stonebridge and Tucker Hill add the residential layers. The comedy here navigates the tension between metro proximity and courthouse-square autonomy. Open mics become neutral ground where both identities sit together. The comics who honor McKinney's specific position find audiences grateful someone understood the city isn't Dallas—it's the square that kept its brick streets.
