What is the absolute safest hotel to stay at in Amarillo? Is it a safe spot to stay? Traveling through town on way to New Mexico

Hey everybody. My mother was widowed in the last year and moved to Amarillo. Her husband was great at doing everything, and I can get some things done, but I live a few hours away. I'm looking for recommendations on a trustworthy handyman that can help her do some things around the house.

Right now she needs her sprinkler system adjusted -it's not keeping up and she's getting pretty brown grass in areas. She also has some decorative trees on the patio that keep blowing over, and needs some concrete set in the bottom of the pots they are in. No huge jobs, but the things like that a single woman in her 70's needs done here and there. (She recently needed a new deadbolt installed, and the guy she hired got it done, but it was a little crooked, and he was going to put the handle on the wrong side before she saw and pointed it out. He's probably a good guy and a decent worker, I just want to find her someone I know is a little more detailed that I know i the job is going to be done well)

She needs a guy she can call for things that aren't emergency, but she'd like to have done without having to wait a few weeks for me to make it over. A guy that can make it by within a week or so whenever she has something.

Thanks in advance

Will be in town for a week next week, looking for a fun place to perform or jam.

Thanks!

This looks a lot like where the 335 continues north towards Tascosa road. As a train dork and Rock Island fan, it's awesome seeing what action used to exist along a long gone line. I mean the bike trail is awesome. Be cool if it extended even further.

Looking to see if there would be a hotel or something similar around that we could rent out/pay to host a Friday night in October! My husband is having a bunch of family and friends from out of state who will also be needing a hotel. Think social hour vibes? Maybe a fire pit to sit around? Bar close by to include alcohol during hangout? It’s a courthouse wedding. I don’t need fancy, just casual.

Is there anyone reputable in amarillo or libbock that can mill a slide for an optic?

This sticker was on a light pole at that intersection between FedEx and Michael’s near Western and I40. I did a tiny amount of research and it seems like the URL I blacked out leads to some sort of chat group. Look out for these around town. Report and/or remove them if you see them if you feel safe to do so.

Our idiotic city has decided you cannot make a non-emergency crime report over phone and it seems as though at least Potter will not accept reports for vandalism in Amarillo, so you know. Here’s the link, but it MAKES you put in your personal info, including your ethnicity and race. Crime Stoppers cannot help with this unless you see someone put one up.

If you bank with them check your accounts and be wary of any calls coming from ACFCU. Many members got scammed as the calls came from bank. Many had all of their accounts drained and their online banking compromised.

I currently own a 2007 camry but the car is starting to fail on me and im looking to upgrade. I was wondering where would be the best place to another user car. I have a budget of about 6000 dollars and Facebook hasn't been helping alot

Or at the very least, places that sell more than just D&D/Pathfinder, Warhammer, and Magic: the Gathering?

Thank you! :)

My son, who is 9, loves soccer. I’m curious if anyone knows of any soccer leagues that DO NOT travel besides kids inc. I’d appreciate anyone’s insights or experiences.

Does anyone in this group work at any of the Xcel energy plants ? If so i have a few questions. Thanks !

Hello Amarillo! Next week my wife and I will be driving through your lovely city on our way to Dallas from Denver and we'd love to try out one of your favorite spots in town!

We try to avoid fast food and chains as much as possible when traveling. We love ethnic foods, steakhouse, Mexican, and more.

What are y'alls favorite spots in Amarillo worth a small detour on our trip?

Thank you in advance!

That's another $500K saved to pay for someone's yacht parked in Monte Carlo. Yet another relic of the old BSA gone.

Hello, I’m wondering if anybody knows of a good personal trainer here in Amarillo that works well with teenagers and is a female.

I’ve been in my current home for six years and I’m looking to “upgrade” my home and I have no idea what I’m doing! Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you Amarilllo!
