We recently asked the question about the Popeyes on Paramount Blvd here in Amarillo. We wanted to know what happened to cause them to close early on Sunday. As of this story, they are still closed.
It was just a few weeks ago that I noticed an unfinished Amarillo billboard. Well, at least that is what it turned out to be. When I made that discovery I also discovered something else. That new billboard looked an awful lot like another one very close by.
I was driving around Amarillo, like I do a lot when I noticed this. Normally when I drive down Olsen/Paramount everything is status quo. At least it has been for a while. I noticed some activity recently that was unexpected.
It hasn't been very long since the doors opened up for this new place in Amarillo. Mochinut on Washington really had social media talking once they finally opened their doors.
When family or friends come to visit Amarillo a lot of times they want the Texas experience. They want to do it all. They want to see it all. Which could mean a trip to Palo Duro Canyon. It probably will include the Cadillac Ranch.
When I am driving around Amarillo I really notice some things that make me question what is really going on. Was that something on purpose or a complete accident?
There is nothing in life like childhood memories. The places that you remember going to. The places that will forever hold a special place in your heart. These places bring so many memories.
I grew up in Chicago. I grew up eating real Chicago Pizza. I love that deep dish deliciousness. When I go back to visit I undoubtedly have to stop to get the real deal. I would be kicked out of my former neighborhood of Bridgeport if I didn't.
So the first time I have ever heard about this burger place was long ago when my daughter was playing volleyball. We were in Lubbock and someone suggested where we should go as a team to eat.
