Do you remember back in the day? There would be two newspapers a day. Yes, two newspapers a day here in Amarillo. The Sunday paper used to be the highlight of the week. Oh, and I remember hunting down a paper on Thanksgiving so we didn't miss any of those Black Friday ads.

The news came out recently that Baxter Black is not doing well. I saw the messages via Facebook recently. The more I looked into it the better the story seemed to get.

Today a 10 year old girl was struck on her bike by a car crossing the street. Two girls were out bike riding this evening at around 7:25 when they stopped at a stop sign near South 8th Avenue.

Give props to the hardest working radio station in town. This year Amarillo Globe News has nominated Kiss Fm as a contender for Best "Radio Station" in town and Tommy The Hacker as Best "Radio Dj".

Check it out it's time of year for you to vote for Amarillo's "Best Of " 2011.

Amarillo help make Kiss Fm your favorite radiostation.
