Scams have become so common in this day and age that it really is crazy that people still fall for them. There are always so many red flags that they shouldn't be something that people still get suckered into.

Downtown Amarillo is about to get even more on the fancier side. Nothing is better than getting a great mural on a blank wall that they already have. I mean let's fancy it up all we can.

Amarillo has a really great food truck scene. It would be hard to attend an event in Amarillo that doesn't have a truck or two out there. Heck, even businesses invite trucks to come out.

If you blink you will miss it. That is what we hear all the time. I feel like this speaks the truth about our summer this year. I feel like we blinked and all missed it. It seemed to just fly by and now everything is about back to school.

The quickest way to lose your business is not to pay your employees. That was step number one for Grill Italia. They had announced earlier that their place was closing but owner, Pepi Osmani, promised it was temporary.

I saw a stat the other day that really made me laugh. It really also made me remember how much people who are not from Texas don't really get Texas. They really don't get the fact that Texas really is a huge state.

Amarillo has a lot of places where you can grab your friends and head out for a great meal. You drive down almost any main street of this great town and you are going to run into a place or two.

If you are a baseball fan you always have high hopes when the Trade Deadlines are near. Tuesday evening was that deadline. You hope that you get some good players, especially if you are a playoff contender.

Who knew what a pair of googly eyes can do to a building.

Amarillo seems to have a problem with our animals making their way to the shelters. There is no room. If everyone just had their dogs and cats fixed this problem would get a lot better.

Go into any store, restaurant, or really anywhere and notice everybody is on their phones. It has become such a huge problem that we can't even put them down while driving. There are laws against that but people don't care.
