Chick Fil A

When driving near 58th and Georgia lately it was highly noticed how fast they are moving on their new projects. We have the Chick-fil-A being built. They are working on that. Then there is the other food project.

When you drive around Amarillo you begin to notice a few things. We like our food and we love our coffee. I mean we have so many great places to eat. We also have plenty of places to stop and get our fill of whatever grande, heavy cream, iced, whatever we want.

If you haven't driven around Amarillo you may not notice the changes. The Buc-ee's is coming along. They have walls. It's a step in the right direction. We still have time.

From a seasoned Amarillo resident, I remember back in the day when we only had one Chick-fil-A location. My first introduction to this heavenly chicken was a trip to Westgate Mall. I remember it well.

Amarillo loves its food. It doesn't even matter what kind. We love bbq, pizza, greasy burgers, and of course our chicken. We love our chicken places so much that we can have several places nearby and they will all be busy. That is how we roll.

Ever since the Sonic and Corn Dog 7 closed in Westgate Mall's food court they have been hurting for more food options. They have been trying. There have been places that have opened.

I find myself driving around Amarillo a lot. Even before I started my career as a Door Dasher I still liked to drive around to see what was going on in my city. I still do that but now I make money and can use my mileage as a tax deduction. A win in my book.

If you grew up in Amarillo you get it. Things change. You may not like it. You miss some of the places that are now gone.

I feel like I spend a lot of time driving around Amarillo. There is the time I spend on I40 driving between work and home. A lot of time is spent in my hood as well. I am one of those that pay attention to my surroundings.

Are you willing to risk an accident for some chicken?

It seems every time you are craving Chick-fil-A, I know for some it is EVERY day, it ends up being a Sunday. The one day a week you know you can't get it. Or can you? There is a way you can actually get pretty darn close.

I have been watching the people on social media just going on and on about Westgate Mall. They were talking about some closures in the food court. They have been talking about new ownership. They are talking about the death to Westgate Mall
