Welcome back to Frisco FYI, the official newsletter of Lifestyle Frisco!
Today’s weather was weird. Equal parts stupid-level-hot intermixed with random thunder and short-lived pouring rain — and that depends on which half of the block you live on. Some didn’t get a drop. Anyway, that’s Texas for you. Let’s get down to business. There’s fun stuff on the calendar, but not a lot of local news-you-can-use this week (nothing light, anyway).

Frisco Rumor Mill
The latest whispers and speculations about exciting local developments, from potential new biz openings to upcoming community projects and events everyone is talking about. If you have scoop, please send our editor a note!
Minjee Lee made history at the 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, held right here in Frisco at Fields Ranch East. Battling Texas heat and swirling winds, Lee clinched her third major title, solidifying her place among golf’s elite. Her victory marks a milestone moment for both her career and the city, as Frisco hosted this prestigious women’s major for the first time. It’s a proud moment for North Texas and a thrilling chapter in women’s golf.
There’s not a lot of fun, newsy stuff to report this week for Frisco beyond a balanced FISD budget, so let’s jump to Dallas. Did you hear that Netflix is stepping off your screen and into real life with the upcoming Netflix House at Galleria Dallas, opening late 2025? This 100,000-square-foot fan-fueled fantasyland will let you escape the Upside Down, survive Squid Game trials (gulp), and chow down on show-inspired bites — all under one roof. Think arcade-fitness mashups, themed dining, exclusive merch, and enough immersive chaos to make your binge-watching heart explode with joy.
NEW POST ALERT: Frisco Families’ Guide to Texas State Parks
So, you know that Texas is HUGE, but do you also know that it’s home to 85 state parks spread across more than 630,000 acres? And each one tells a different story. For families in Frisco, these parks are more than just scenic getaways; they’re opportunities to unplug and reconnect, and teach kids about nature, history, and the beauty of our home state.
We all love 30A and Disney World, but imagine your kids growing up with memories of roasting marshmallows under the stars, spotting deer on a trail, or learning to skip rocks on a quiet lake? Sometimes, simplicity should win.
