Canyon

I took a day yesterday where I was driving around Amarillo getting some photos of some restaurants in Amarillo. As I was driving around I was trying to take in how much Amarillo has changed since I first moved here.

Hopefully this is just the tip of the iceberg for what Sharpened Iron Studios has planned for the area.

After a year of everything shutting down and cancelling this is the year that things are happening again. Last years Canyon Chamber of Commerce Chow Down had to cancel. This year not so much.

This has been a crazy ride. Ever since the pandemic first hit and places have had to close we have been hit with staffing shortages. Many restaurants have been hit. Many are trying their darnedest to get employees in to work so that they can all operate on a normal basis.

I can deal with a shortage of toilet paper that we saw early on. I can deal with no alcohol and even styrofoam. I am not ready to face the news I saw on Facebook yesterday. The possible shortage of Allsup's Burritos and Chimichangas.

My kids come home with food constantly. Are they being allowed enough time to finish it all?

There's another site telling folks what towns in the Panhandle you should move to.

Who doesn't love the word free? I mean that makes anything better. If there is fun family activities for free that is even better. That is going to be the case. Canyon is place.

Have you ever had a meal totally prepared from local food. I mean stuff that was grown and prepared right here in this great Texas Panhandle. It seems like such an easy task but sit down an think out the menu.

Fall, as far as the calendar is concerned, is pretty much here.

Sometimes walking from your car to your home can cause you some anxiety. Add in it being a little later at night than you are comfortable with and it makes it worse. There is now an app for West Texas A&M students and faculty that can make this a lot less stressful.

So this was a head scratcher. I had to verify that this was for real. The post I originally saw on Facebook made me chuckle. It is Homecoming season here in the Texas Panhandle. Oh and it's a big deal in Texas.
