We recently asked the question about the Popeyes on Paramount Blvd here in Amarillo. We wanted to know what happened to cause them to close early on Sunday. As of this story, they are still closed.
It was just a few weeks ago that I noticed an unfinished Amarillo billboard. Well, at least that is what it turned out to be. When I made that discovery I also discovered something else. That new billboard looked an awful lot like another one very close by.
I was driving around Amarillo, like I do a lot when I noticed this. Normally when I drive down Olsen/Paramount everything is status quo. At least it has been for a while. I noticed some activity recently that was unexpected.
When I am driving around Amarillo I really notice some things that make me question what is really going on. Was that something on purpose or a complete accident?
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.
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 spent a lot of time on the road as a kid. We traveled from Texas to Phoenix every summer. When we lived in Illinois we made that trek from there as well. So many hours in the car. Many hours in the backseat with my sister wishing we had TVs or video games to pass the time.
Does that seem like your life? It is mosquito season and you already know that you are going to be a hot mess of bites and bumps. You wear mosquito spray instead of perfume on a daily basis. You know that is just the way your life is going to go.
