🌱 Waxing The City Comes To Frisco + Cowboys Fans Throw Trash

Morning, neighbors! Nicole Fallon-Peek here with a fresh copy of the McKinney-Frisco Daily.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny, breezy and mild. High: 70 Low: 54.

Here are the top two stories in McKinney-Frisco today:

1. Waxing the City, a facility that offers body and face waxing for both men and women is opening a new location. A new center is coming to Frisco at North Dallas Parkway. Waxing the City has additional locations in McKinney, Dallas, and elsewhere in the area. (Community Impact)
2. Residents in the North Dallas area we're not pleased with the Dallas Cowboys performance on Sunday night. After losing 23-17 to the San Francisco 49ers, fans at AT&T stadium started throwing trash onto the field. The situation did not improve when quarterback Dak Prescott endorsed the actions. (The Dallas Morning News)

Doing a "Dry January" or just looking for a flavorful alternative to regular cocktails? Here's a suggestion: try a non-alcoholic drink from our partners at Betera. Created by an award-winning chef from natural botanicals, Betera’s drinks come in 3 flavors — Ginger-Orange, Elderflower-Lime and Rhubarb-Hibiscus. We tried Ginger-Orange, and it was excellent — lightly effervescent, floral with a hint of bitterness and the sippability of a cocktail.

Betera is offering readers of the Daily a 15% discount on their first order: use PATCH15 at checkout. Highly recommended — you can try Betera here.

From my notebook:

• The McKinney Police Department honored the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The department's motto stems, in part, from Dr. King’s philosophy about how to treat others: “Do the right thing. Do the best you can do. Treat people the way you want to be treated." (Facebook)
• Frisco City Hall reminds residents that no outdoor watering is recommended this week. Since yards are dormant this time of year, they are asking residents to turn off automatic sprinkler systems. (Facebook)
• Frisco Independent School District announced upcoming Community Input Meetings, to be held throughout the school year. (Facebook)
