The Box Garden at Legacy Hall in Plano had its grand opening Friday night with headliner Sarah Jaffe.
"Let's take the bar for fun and entertainment and raise it up," Legacy Hall's new marketing director Gavin Mulloy said.
Mulloy used to market some of the most popular music venues in Deep Ellum. Now he's doing it in Plano.
"I don't know that my ideas were every rooted in geography," Mulloy said. "Deep Ellum should have cool stuff. Plano should have cool stuff. We should all have cooler stuff, and we should have more parties, and they should be better."

Legacy Hall's all-inclusive concept: food, drink, and entertainment, is changing the image of suburbia, and it's not the only city in Collin County trying to do it. Just this month, Frisco announced plans for Music City, a development with multiple stages and restaurants. In Allen, Monarch City hopes to become that city's version of Legacy West.
