We are getting close to realizing a dream in Amarillo. We are about to become a city with a Buc-ee's. That is huge. Once just a place we would visit when we travelled will now be in our own backyard.
Is anything a bigger story in Amarillo other than the Buc-ee's that is getting close to opening up? If there is I can't think of one off-hand. Ever since we first caught wind of the Buc-ee's coming to town that has really been the talk.
