• Cheers! Rollertown Beerworks begins construction on its new 50,000-square-foot Frisco brewery this month, aiming to open by October. The new brewery is backed by notable local figures, including Dirk Nowitzki, Michael Young, and Dude Perfect, which recently opened a new headquarters in Frisco. Located at the northeast corner of Main Street and John Elliott Parkway, the venue is expected to host concerts, comedy shows, and sumo wrestling — an attraction that previously drew thousands of attendees to their Celina location.

• McKinney Takes Flight: Our neighbors are soaring to new heights with a $72 million expansion of McKinney National Airport. The shiny new 45,000-square-foot terminal should be ready to welcome travelers by late 2026. Despite a little turbulence in 2023 when voters said "no" to bond funding, the city is cruising ahead with the project. Some residents are worried about increased traffic and noise—understandable concerns when your neighborhood is about to get a whole lot busier. But here's the exciting part: McKinney is in talks with not one, but two low-cost airlines! Imagine jetting off to your favorite destinations without breaking the bank.

A handful of 🔥hot headlines🔥 from elsewhere.

• Progresso decided to celebrate National Soup Month by reimagining a classic comfort food as a hard candy called Soup Drops. The company launched its first-ever "soup you can suck on," a savory lozenge that captures the taste of the brand’s chicken noodle soup. Yeah, this took us by surprise, too, but evidently, these savory lozenges sold out super fast. Progressive responded, “Well this is souper awkward… don’t worry, there’s a fresh batch of Soup You Can Suck On coming your way next week.”

• The return of The Traitors for its third season has obsessed fans waiting for Alan Cummings to reveal the next “MURD-uh.” If you thought your family game nights were intense, wait until you see contestants trying to out-scheme each other while pretending to be best friends. It's like Survivor met Big Brother, and they decided to have a trust fall exercise... with no one catching you!

• Hoard your Ring Pops and Skittles! The FDA banned red dye No. 3 from your food. The dye, which has been adding a pop of bright red to our snacks for the past 50 years, is now a no-go. While the US was cool with it, most other countries gave it a big "nope" ages ago. And now, in just one whirlwind week, our kids have lost two of their greatest loves – TikTok and their beloved red-colored candies!
