The City of Plano is located twenty miles northeast of downtown Dallas and is a part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. Plano, once a small farm community, has now become a force in the DFW area. Plano is an affluent hub for many corporate headquarters, such as Cinemark Theatres, Dell Services, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Ericsson, Frito-Lay, HP Enterprise Services, Huawei, J. C. Penney, Pizza Hut, Siemens PLM Software, and Toyota Motor North America, Inc, to name a few.
The downtown area (15th street—east of Highway 75) has many interesting buildings including a renovated train station and rail car. A farmer’s market and an old-time barber shop dot the downtown streets. And there are several Victorian homes for those who are up to a challenge. Nearby is the Heritage Farmstead museum and grounds complete with a blacksmith shop, animals, and a barn housing vintage equipment and vehicles; subjects that appeal to many. Come one, come all, for a winter’s painting treat.
