Allen Travel Guide

 ATXtraveler Says:  Since Allen is the home to many families, one of the best things to do in town is enjoy the excellent Sports Association that the kids can be a member of many teams.Anna, my four year old has a great time playing soccer and they have team sports for boys and girls from 4... 

 ejpech Says:  Spotlight Theatre is a hidden gem in Allen, Texas. The theatre presents full run plays, musicals, late-night comedy, variety shows, live musica and more.The plays are about the best "off broadway" as you will find. A great evening of entertainment.The theatre is all... 

 Kodi01 Says:  This was my last shot of her before the indoor celebration started.The streets of the Allen Station Park were lined with people, all on their way to the gymnasiam. 

 Kodi01 Says:  Yes I am still waiting with thousands to see her ....There is a nice BIG red white and blue sign honoring the Gold Medalist that the band is holding. You have to enlarge the pic to see it better. 

 Kodi01 Says:  Well, she had to perfect all angles on the balancing beam, floor excercises etc...... so I try with my photography..... =0)She is the best in the whole wide world now.....so I wanted to see her, I sat watching her on tv while she performed in the Olympics. 

 Kodi01 Says:  Here is the last picture left on my roll and guess who did not bring extra rolls?Well, I had no idea what a Olympic celebration would be like, but I will know next time.There are many here....Runners, Kayakers, Swimmers all won the Gold.Not to forget Lance Armstrong who won... 

 Kodi01 Says:  Before you eat your Wheaties.......see the real thing in Allen TX. ;o)What a role model for children, her training facility is at Plano Texas which is the city next to Allen Texas. 

 Kodi01 Says:  She is not arrogant in the least bit, I just tried to catch her lifting up her Gold Medals for a picture.I guess I need more practice, but then again I was running along the parade route.Maybe I will get a job as a papparazi yet?? There is another gentleman taking a nice... 

 Kodi01 Says:  I think Carly thought I was the papparazi, well there sure was a guy who was........get ready for stardom young girl.Has she even had her first sweet 16 kiss yet?? 

 Kodi01 Says:  And closer, here she is, Allen's Golden Girl.The city named Sept 4 as "Carly Patterson" day on the city records. 

 ATXtraveler Says:  Braza Dancante has a dual role in the Allen community. It is both a food location and also a bar/danceclub. For the purpose of this review, I am solely going to speak to the food portion of the location.For those familiar with churrascarias, it is a place that provides... 

 ATXtraveler Says:  If you are American, you are familiar with the phenomenon that is Chicken Wing restaurants. Whether it is the mega chains like WingStop and Buffalo Wild Wings, or the smaller chains like the Anchor Bar, chicken wings are in high demand. I have tried many, but all around, the... 

 ATXtraveler Says:  Let me start by saying that The Blue Fish is in fact a chain. There are several locations in the greater DFW area, which normally means I am not interested in eating there. Luckily for them however, I am a sushi fan, so I was in anyway.Then they brought out the Lobster Roll.... 

 ATXtraveler Says:  If you are looking for a good greasy spoon, don't consider this one. The food here was microwaved, the sauces were basic, and it was just not a great experience. I brought my daughter over for a weekend Daddy/Daughter breakfast, and the place was eerily empty, but after the... 

 ATXtraveler Says:  I think sometimes people rate locations higher strictly for the ambiance, but for me it is about the food. I had the pleasure of going with a couple friends on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. We had a party of 12, were seating efficiently, and were immediately hit with chips,... 

 ATXtraveler Says:  When I go out to a restaurant, I am always happy to pay for good food at a good price. So what happens when you find great food at an unbelievably good price? Normally you hide it so that the owners don't change! I will share one of my favorite places, Chito's which has two... 

 ATXtraveler Says:  As a big fan of Matt's El Rancho in Austin, I was excited about this location... that excitement faded, and faded fast. The first visit was good, and would have given Matt's a 4-5 star performance, unfortunately since that first chance, they have had three strikes and I...
