I don't care how old you are the moment you walk through the gates of Wonderland you automatically become a kid again. All the rides. All the fun. Even if you are an adult you watch your kiddos and grandkids get excited as they inch up closer and closer to being able to ride a big kid ride. Even watching them on the kiddie rides brings so much joy.

One of the inevitables this time of year is that there will be a lot of missing and found pets these past few days. Our pets get freaked out with all of the fireworks going off around the neighborhoods. It doesn't matter that it is illegal it still seems to...

If you have driven behind the Civic Center at any time on Grant Street, then you have seen the historic old Santa Fe Depot. But, have you ever wondered what the building looks like inside?. The Santa Fe Depot is one of the oldest buildings in Amarillo, and we had...

I read a reminder from the Amarillo Police Department that shooting off fireworks within city limits is illegal. People that got caught doing so faced up to a $2000 fine. So if shooting them off is illegal, explain to me how it's allowable to have fireworks stands or shops on basically every corner in the city?

Let's face it, going to school is tough these days. Our kids are faced with insane challenges each day. From learning to dealing with bullies and violence. The rules of the school are getting stricter each year. Being a kid and an individual is what shapes us into the adults...

Remember all the fun times at the skating rink growing up? I mean all the great music you heard. You had to skate out there when your jam came on. How excited you got when they declared it couples skate. Or they played a fun game of limbo. You had so many great memories of your time that mom and dad dropped you off at the rink for the evening.

The news came out early last month that the Donut Stop was closing in Canyon. That place was a mainstay on 23rd as you made your way into Canyon. It was a fixture in the donut community. Don't worry, though, Canyon is doing just fine with Got Donuts. They do...

Are you familiar with the "Snacklebox?" It's one of those things that almost makes too much sense and the internet has fallen in love with the concept over the last few months. First of all, it's exactly what it sounds like. You find a traditional tacklebox—usually used for fishing tackle...

Once again, I admit that I am a sucker for "window shopping" the real estate listings for beautiful and eye-catching homes. Check out this beautiful 5 bedroom 3 bathroom home in the Plemons-Eakle neighborhood that's just been listed by Andy Justus w/ Wieck Realty, Inc. It's right by Amarillo College and it's listed at a reasonable $718,000.

If you don't follow the accounts for our police and fire departments, you should. Not only are they a pretty good source for important information, but they also give us insight into what goes on beyond what most of us see. Sometimes, like in this amazing post from AFD, you...

Everyone in Amarillo is at least familiar with the name. The Nat is an iconic piece of Amarillo history. There are so many legends and stories revolving around it that it's almost impossible to have never heard of it. This month, The Nat turns 100. Humble Beginnings As A Swimming...

The 4th of July weekend is all about freedom. We celebrate this great country we live in, which typically involves partying and drinking. So much so in fact that the 4th of July weekend is the deadliest of the holidays on the roadways according to Amarillo police. That's why Amarillo...

Why is Amarillo growing to the Southwest? That question is asked over and over again. I think I may have an answer for you as to why everyone seems to be building in that direction. Follow the Water!. I ran across the most interesting post on Facebook that seemed to...

Can we just admit that these past few years have been nothing short of challenging? We have had to deal with a pandemic. We had to deal with the rising cost of well, everything. We have had to deal with shortages. It's pretty much been a waiting game to see...

This is something that is cool for Amarillo. If you are a mom-to-be you know how hard it is to wait those nine months to see what your baby is going to look like. Sometimes it's more of a peace of mind that you need to know. When my daughter...

The saga of Amarillo Poker Club seems to have taken a turn recently. There has been plenty of drama. At one point, it seemed all hope was lost. Then, it was announced the club would be open and everyone was excited. That was followed up by a message that the club would have to wait to open.

In case you're unaware, there's a TV series on FX that is all about the Sex Pistols. The series follows the stories of the British punk rockers. Did you happen to see the surprise cameo Tascosa Drive-In had in the Pistol series?. First Things First, Why Is A Drive-In From...

I love to use my apps to place orders and I'm an avid user of the Sonic app. I noticed the other day that they had a special slush available for purchase. Their special slush is the Shark Week Slush I thought hmmm, this could be interesting, so I ordered one just to see what it was all about.

So when I moved to Amarillo, one thing struck me right between the eyes surprisingly one night. On the weekends, the wife and I have a tendency to stay up later. Without fail, we'll get hungry around midnight or so. In Austin, I'd just hop on one of my pizza...

Camping is one of those activities that you either love or you hate. Some people adore it, some hate even the thought. I'm one of those people who would be great at glamping, just don't ask me to go tent camping unless it's a high-end tent. I have this thing about not having a bathroom. That's just me, the squatting in nature just isn't my thing. Give me an RV, maybe a cabin, a tent with a bathroom and I'm good.
