During a recent trip through Wolflin Village in Amarillo, I noticed how much they really have to offer. The trip started where Office Depot is located. I kept driving through the spacious area.
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.
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.
Have you played the game of driving around Amarillo and reminiscing about what used to be? If you have lived here any amount of time this becomes a fun game. Sometimes you have vivid memories about things.
Every time I drive by 58th and Georgia I am amazed how much it has grown. I remember when it was just empty fields all around. If you drive by it now you will see how much it has changed.
We have weekly meetings trying to come up with story ideas. We sit around and talk about rumors about what is going on around Amarillo. We try to decide what is going to be a good read. What is going to be newsworthy?
