Discovering the Best of Plano with Abbie Alter
Plano Mayor John Muns, Plano Chamber members, friends, and guests recently gathered to celebrate the release of Abbie Alter’s new book, 100 Things to Do in Plano Before You Die.
During the author presentation and book signing, Alter shared behind-the-scenes stories from the writing process, along with the inspiration that led her to create the book.
One of the most exciting revelations was that none of the featured businesses and organizations knew they would be included in the book. It was Alter’s independent assessment of what makes Plano special.
From dining and entertainment to sports, recreation, culture, history, and shopping, the book highlights many of the experiences that make Plano unique. It even includes suggested itineraries, making it easy for readers to start exploring right away.
More than anything, the book serves as a reminder that Plano is a wonderful place to live, work, and play.
