Every time I drive by 58th and Georgia I am amazed how much it has grown. I remember when it was just empty fields all around. If you drive by it now you will see how much it has changed.
Ever since the Sonic and Corn Dog 7 closed in Westgate Mall's food court they have been hurting for more food options. They have been trying. There have been places that have opened.
Driving all around Amarillo I have been watching the progress of the QuikTrips in our area. Both locations I40 & Eastern and I27 & Bell have been looking like they were getting close to opening. I just wasn't sure when.
I guess we all have come to a point in life that we can't trust anyone. I mean anyone. That is how the scammers try to get to you. Through people you know. Through people you care about.
We are a little over a year away from the Buc-ees in Amarillo becoming a reality. Their groundbreaking back in October let us know that they are supposed to be open in February of 2025. Amarillo can't wait.
There are over ten McDonald's in and near the Amarillo area. We have plenty of places that you can stop if you are craving a Big Mac. I get it. That happens to me more times than I would care to admit.
When I made the trip to Market Street at the end of last week I did what I always do. I took a trip down the aisle that used to be home to my favorite sauce. The Huy Fong Hot Chili Sauce. I always had a bottle in my refrigerator.
Keeping up with the restaurants in Amarillo can be a tough job. Sometimes there are changes that happen just way too fast. We have new ones opening all the time. We have them closing too. It is the circle of life around here.
Sonic started advertising their peanut butter craze hitting their stores. I love peanut butter. I never thought I would love adding it to a burger but I gave it a try a couple of times before this at different gourmet burger places.
There has been one shortage that I have been following for about a year. Really, it seems longer than that. Every time I go to the grocery store I check out to see if this could possibly be the time that the shelves are stocked again.
Oh, how the shopping has changed in Amarillo. Yes, it really has. Yes, we have a lot of the same stores that we always have. We also have some new ones that have moved in. Then some of the stores that we remember have had some changes..
As kids are growing up it seems like they have so many cool toys. Every generation has its frenzy. I mean since the eighties for sure. Remember the Cabbage Patch craze?
