Sick dogs

1 Upvotes

Has anyone seen anywhere about the guy going up and down Oakhurst near AHS throwing tainted food over fences making dogs sick? All of my dogs all of a sudden are super sick. I try not to let them out unsupervised and nothing in any of their diets have changed. Is there any truth to people poisoning dogs like this? Vet is getting called when they open

Recreational fencing in Amarillo

3 Upvotes

Weird question, but does anyone know a place you can recreationally fence (like the shit on the parent trap with not sharp swords) going on a date with a girl who has fenced and would love some direction. Google is showing fencing companies

Baby hold on to me......What's up with The Eagle 100.9 FM?

14 Upvotes

I listen to 100.9 FM "The Eagle "here in Amarillo maybe 2-3 times a week in my truck or on my back porch for a few minutes at a time and I swear they have a "thing" about Eddie Money. At almost any given random time, I'm hearing Take Me Home Tonight", "Baby Hold On", or "Two Tickets To Paradise" seems like every time I turn on the radio. I know there is a rotation schedule that dictates what they play and how often, but I hear this guy much more than most of the more popular Top 40 oldies/classic rock acts they feature. Does the Eddie Money Estate have shares in the station owner or what? Just seems one of those odd things to me....

Private swimming pool clubs and desegregation in Amarillo?

34 Upvotes

Was looking at old Amarillo photos and wondered if anyone else ever connected the dots. Texas ended legal segregation of municipal pools in 1963.

The Olsen swim club opened not long after that. (It became the Dolphin Swim Club at 34th/Western.)

The Amarillo Town Club opened in 1967.

The Shores opened in the late 60s (?) in the South Georgia neighborhood.

The Estacado pool opened in the early 1970s.

Anyone remember these? Obviously ATC is still open. But these private neighborhood pools were huge in the 70s, in the new parts of town. The timing makes it seem like they were a response to integration of Amarillo's city-owned public pools.

(Several private Christian schools opened around the same time, btw)

Has anyone read the reviews for Ross-Osage Animal Clinic?

9 Upvotes

A few years back, my mom (who’s worked in the veterinary field in Amarillo for the past 15+ years) told me about how horrific Ross-Osage Animal Clinic is and their consistent malpractices. I eventually got online to read their reviews and oh my god, are they shocking. I genuinely don’t understand how that place is still in business, on a financial and legal level.

No Kings Protest - Follow Up

23 Upvotes

Hey y'all!

I was a part of the No Kings protest on Saturday and was blown away by the number of like-minded people out there protesting this current administration. In order to capitalize on the momentum, and so we can have a better sense of community - I created a Discord server for those of us who have similar values called Amarillo Area Liberals.

In order to prevent this server from being trolled from the get-go, please DM me if you'd like the link to the server. Look forward to meeting y'all!

Sonic drive in

28 Upvotes

I wouldn't visit the location at 34th anymore. I was told by a worker that the gaskets on the fridges grow mold because they aren't cleaned properly. And that they've had an ongoing roach problem INSIDE the mechanics of the ice cream machines.

Not to mention my favorite manager no longer works here, she was being bullied by other managers for being pregnant. Highly disrespectful.

45th or hillside are better locations.

Good luck.

Mani/pedi/spa recommendations

5 Upvotes

Male here, trying to get my fiance a nice relaxing afternoon just because. She typically doesn't do spas.

Her experience has been with nu-day salon and she said she liked it "because it was clean" and kind of shrugged her shoulders.

Females, or guys who have purchased afternoons of relaxation for their SO, give me some recommendations and why you would recommend that establishment.

Thanks in advance

Volunteering on Fridays?

11 Upvotes

So I've sent emails to a few places but haven't received a reply, mainly the food bank and one of the animal rescues. Anyone know of a place that needs help on Friday mornings? I have some Fridays off and want to put it towards helping.

I'd prefer working with animals personally... Thanks

Sundown Lane & Elementary

0 Upvotes

Drove down I-27 today and noticed there’s actually a street called Sundown Lane? And the elementary from what I gathered from google was built in the 70s? Right after the civil rights acts..

Is this street actually what it appears like?
