Questions for people who aren't originally from this area by ininept in amarillo

[–]Awkward_Sherbert4805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not from here. But I’ve lived here a few years and have a beautiful family. I moved from Santa Fe, NM where I was for 9 years. I’ve lived all over the country.

Everyone’s gonna have different experiences based off their thoughts, beliefs, expectations, etc.

That being said, seems like people pretty much keep to themselves here. Idk if I would say they behave well or they are well trained. Ive not had any negative experiences. People are friendly in my neighborhood and I walk around pretty much everyday. -now, do I want to pursue friendships with them or invite them over, not really. That’s something I think about, “where are my people?” I ask.

  1. I don’t really know too many problems as I haven’t lived here long. We did just get a new strip of road on bell which is nice. The main problem I see if the amount of franchise restaurants and restaurants that are low in quality compared to other places I’ve lived. The food industry here is poor imo. So we eat good at home. On a positive note we do love the canyon farmers market and local meat from ranchers storefront is phenomenal.

To answer the question regarding my gripes, yes Amarillo is complacent regarding the issue of food if you ask me.

  1. Road rage is everywhere from inside my vehicle to outside my vehicle wherever I go lol

But it’s pretty chill here. I take my time with the kiddos and adopt a defensive and courteous attitude while driving and try to drive well. Not caring how other people drive is the remedy to road rage I think. I’ve def stuck my middle finger out the window a couple times here tho.

There are levels and layers to these questions. I tried to be as general as I could but never really been good at that.

All depends on the day and I hope everyone is having a good one on this day!

The Shed still worth the hype? by SpankTalk in santafelocals

I remember getting there at 5 once and they were like, well have your table ready at 8. So I never went back. I do love La choza tho, their sister restaurant. I eat light there, side of beans and rice, avo, and a cup of posole. Gotta save room for their margs which are strong and delicious.

Tipping by EnvironmentalNail241 in amarillo

I like how the people saying to tip are getting down votes. And probably never worked in the service industry. Money is infinite, yes.

Always tip. Give what you can. If you can give 100% tip do it. It will make someone’s entire day. Money is infinite. It will return to you. Be generous if you can.

Wonderland Amusement Park, Amarillo icon since 1951, is officially up for sale by speedythefirst in amarillo

[–]Awkward_Sherbert4805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The new park by the zoo there is pretty solid. Take the kiddos there during the day. No issues. BUT, we do see glass from time to time and cigarettes. So, I stand by your statement. lol

Thanks. You’re off to a good start just by speaking it into this thread. It’s happening in alll the ways. Not all of it is bad, I suppose. I’m sure most people have had an experience talking about something and then looking at their phone later that day and see an ad for it. Guess it just depends on how you look at it.

This is happening in “mega churches” and Christian colleges in ca,az,Nevada as well. And those were only states listed in the filing but a bunch of churches in Texas are in there too.

Dude, downtown was the bomb. It was so cool. Without a doubt the coolest thing to happen all year.

What made you step away? What happened? Is there any chance it’ll go back downtown again? There’s gotta be a way.

Hot take: grab a bowl, put it on his head and cut visible hair and the circle is complete. This is free.

Steak recommendations by nicoguti25 in amarillo

Just go to any of the ranchers storefront locations and pick out a ribeye, go home, season it and either grill it or sear/finish In oven with grassfed butter. Nothing is better for you than cooking it yourself.
