Downtown Showdown: Plano
A map of Texas with Plano very obviously pointed out at Haggard Park, just on the other side of the DART tracks from downtown.
This is the horse that stands gaurd outside Kelly's Eastside, with things like "Gig'em" and "No Tailgating" painted on it.
This is tiled on the outside entrance floor to what is now called "Art Centre of Plano." E.O. Harrington is the name of the furniture and undertaking store that was there before and if you go FURTHER back, it was a dry goods store in 1854.
The Eastside Art Gallery has shown many artists both local and international, including the famous Dr. Seuss.
Plano National Bank and Odd Fellows reconstructed this building after a fire in 1896. It since then has been redesigned several times, but now stands restored back to its original art deco look from 1936. It is currently the Arschell & Son Agency.
This is an up close shot of a carving found on one of the large granite stones that sit in an area that use to be a passenger depot in 1872 during the "coming of the railroad".
Plano was settled in the 1840's and soon became the trading center for farmers in Collin County. It is now a place for dining, art, housing, and more.
Side window of Queen of Hearts Costume & Magic shop which has been family owned since it opened in 1982. It's probably the one place in Collin County that sells juggling equipment and magic supplies.
