Downtown McKinney and Airbnb Host Policy Change

 McKinney, TX

Viva McKinney!

Downtown McKinney, TX

Today is the last Saturday we will be in McKinney so we decided to go to the farmers market again.  We saw a knife sharpener there so we brought our chefs knife.  It's getting really dull and honing wasn't helping.  We had tried to get it sharpened in Kirkland before we left but the knife store moved to Seattle and we weren't going into Seattle just to sharpen our knife.  While we were walking around I took the opportunity to take more photos of Downtown McKinney.

This eatery used to be a gas station so they have the old pumps on display.


Howdy Honey!  Is he talking to me?


The local comic book shop.



Little Sebastian!




Sharpening was $1 an inch.


No thank you.

I sampled the Wild Turkey Whiskey caramel.  It was just okay IMHO.

Donna had been complaining about her wallet recently and how old it is.  It is falling apart at the seams.

These wallets came with a $1,000,000 Babe Ruth Bill so we bought one for Donna.

Purple micro greens

Santa!  I assume the no photos sign is for the inside.

Cool bike mural


More Petroliana

Our sharp knife!

And Donna's functional souvenir from Texas.

Airbnb Policy Change

As we look for future stays we are sure to keep on top of the latest Airbnb Scams.  The most common one is listing the same property multiple times at different price points and accepting requests to stay.  Just before your stay, the host tells all of the lower priced stays that the unit is no longer available for some reason and offers a different unit for your stay.  This different unit is less desirable than the unit listed.  This hasn't happened to us but we have read reviews by people this has happened to.  Airbnb just announced they are upping the Host Last Minute Cancelation Fee from $100 to $1000 in hopes to end this scam.  You can read about it here if you are curious.

Oh and this doesn't deserve its own subheading but I bought Hollow Knight and am trying to play through it.  Erika showed it to me and I liked it a lot.  I am stuck on what's maybe the 2nd boss.  Get Better Noob!

If you didn't read about our future plans in the post from yesterday you can check it out here.
