Helpfulness
The reason for this town's existence is shopping. Specifically, shopping by Mexicans who cross the border to buy things in the US. I am not familiar with the situation on the Mexican side, but either the prices or selection or both is much better in McAllen.
I am the last person to recommend going to shopping malls while on a tourist trip, but here it is different. In fact, it makes for interesting people watching. For instance, seeing jewelry-laden upper class Mexican housewives strolling through the local Wal-Mart like it's some sort of a Neiman-Marcus is - shall I say - different. Stores here make incredible business. In fact, the small local JC Penney is by far the best selling store in the US.

They're everywhere! Antique-hunters will find them disappointing, but if you're looking for bootlegs and weird curiosities, they're the place to go.
