Walking around Westgate Mall I notice all of the stores. I think about what used to be there. Oh, I really miss The Disney Store. I remember taking my daughter to Justice. That was one of her favorite stores until she grew up.
Growing up I spent many days enjoying the city pools. Southwest Swimming Pool was the one where my mom would drop me and my sister off many days. We had so much fun. To this day certain songs I hear on the radio remind me of those days.
Have you been by the new Buc-ee's location in Amarillo? If it's been a while you may be amazed how fast it is moving along. I saw a picture or two floating around social media recently so I had to go ahead and drive by.
When it comes to jobs in Amarillo there are those you can go into knowing what your day will look like. You may have a meeting or two that interrupts your day. Other than that your job may seem like it's pretty boring. You do your work. You go home. You get a paycheck. You enjoy it.
Who isn't ready for a nice and tall glass of lemonade? Especially when that same glass of lemonade is helping teach so much to our kids. Lemonade Day in Amarillo is coming up this year on May 4th.
Getting up and getting the family in Amarillo donuts is a treat that the kids look forward to. Heck, even my big kid always asks for one morning that I bring home donuts when I leave work. She has to have her cherry donuts at least once when she is in time. That just screams childhood to her.
As the weather starts getting nicer and nicer here in Amarillo we start seeing the signs of everyone wanting to be outside. That includes seeing more bikes on the roads, yes there are always motorcycles out but something about nice weather brings out even more. This weekend that is going to be very obvious.
I try to pay attention to my surroundings when I am driving around Amarillo. I mean my deliveries take me to all sorts of places around this town. I try to notice what I can. You never know when it can be used for a story or two about our city.
