There are times where you notice greatness in Amarillo and you want and get to be a part of it. I have been watching on social media as the name Tremaine Brown has become even bigger than it has been.
I have always considered Amarillo a really big little town, meaning it has a lot to offer. We have a lot of people. We have a lot of places. There is a lot going on in our city but it still seems like we have a lot of small-town values. Or at least we try to keep that small-town feeling.
Recently I discovered a new bakery in Amarillo. Lotis Bakeshop is located on Western Street next to Grandma's Burritos. I was late to discover this location so I wanted to make sure Amarillo knew about them.
When I first signed up to DoorDash in Amarillo it was a waiting game. I got a notification that there were too many Dashers in my area and I had to wait. So wait I did. I mean I wasn't even sure that this was something I wanted to try. So no big deal.
It's been a while since we saw store shelves starting to have empty spots again. The last hard-to-find items were toilet paper again. Let's not bring that back again. More recently there was another item taking a hit on the shelves.
We have had some very cold days in Amarillo recently. Heck, those days are still continuing. Winter is officially here in Amarillo. So during a cold spell, you may be looking for some ways to keep warm.
When I moved from Chicago we landed all the way from there to Canyon, Texas. I was in junior high, that is what they called it way back then. I remember just how different it was from Chicago. Even at a young age there was no denying it.
