Soothing Green Acres...

Mckinney, Texas was ranked among the top-5 places to live in the US. I don't know when this ranking was done or who voted for it. But one thing I know for certain is that McKinney is a small city with large open spaces and parks and recreation areas. The McKinney Town Lake recreation area is a classic example. There is a lake, nature trail, community center, bicycling trail, sports and recreation area with facilities to play several sports. I am particularly fond of the people-friendly birds in the lake, these ducks, and geese walk around fearlessly around humans and even give way when bicyclists whiz past in frenzy.
