Market Street

We have been watching the locations near 58th and Georgia in Amarillo being built and watching as they open up. Finally, that area is getting some love. There is a Walmart, a couple of pizza places, gas stations, and a McDonald's.

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.

It's hard to talk about the price of any kind of food in Texas being cheap. I mean it's near impossible to go to the grocery store with any kind of list and not expect to spend nearly two hundred dollars if not more.

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?

I remember my first time trying sushi. It was for my birthday. One co-worker took me for lunch. I wasn't brave enough to try it for my main meal. I got a rice and chicken dish and tried my co-worker's sushi.

When I made the trip to Market Street at the end of last week I did what I always do. I took a trip down the aisle that used to be home to my favorite sauce. The Huy Fong Hot Chili Sauce. I always had a bottle in my refrigerator.

United Supermarkets had a groundbreaking in September 2022 for the new Market Street with a fall opening date, but no construction has started. Did they change their minds?

This shortage has really got me a little upset. OK, let's be honest it has me a lot upset. My stomach, on the other hand, thanks those involved. I have had a little break from it tearing my stomach up. Oh, but I love it.

Market Street is where I do all of my grocery shopping. So when I go in and they change something I tend to notice. The change that I noticed when I went in to do my shopping yesterday was noticed right away.

Great news for those who live in Southwest Amarillo near Loop 335, you will now have a closer place to shop for groceries and pick up your prescriptions.

OK, we have seen some weird things happen in our city in the past week or so. We hit record temperatures recently. It's not very often we see 108. Yes, it's July but still. We were all sweating it up.

I have always been a big fan of Market Street. That is where I do ALL of my shopping. I remember when it opened. I was thrilled to have a grocery store in my neighborhood again. I remember the days of Homeland being where the Dollar Tree is now.
