The historic district along 15th Street and K Avenue is the most walkable part of Plano. Late-19th-century storefronts in red brick have been converted into restaurants, coffee shops, galleries, and small bars. The Courtyard Theater anchors the cultural end; the restaurants and bars take over on weekends. It's a manageable size — no wayfinding app needed — and feels genuinely inhabited rather than staged for tourism.
