📰 In the news
New amenities for riders: On February 24, Amarillo City Council approved four new bus shelters for North Heights, funded by Neighborhood Planning funds, with solar lighting and benches planned for nearby stops — get all the details.
Support for your return: Free tax prep runs through April 8 from Panhandle Community Services at Amarillo North Branch Library and rural sites. Registration is required, with free access to tax records — see locations and requirements.
New style destination opens: Amarillo just got Wink Boutique and Gift Shop at 2730 Dunivan Circle, an expansion of CB Boutique offering unique clothes, gifts, and permanent jewelry, kids under 12 get half off — get all the details.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 We got your back
Refresh your hair game: Alexa’s Beauty Supply Store & Salon is a family- and veteran-owned Amarillo hub for wigs, braiding hair, and daily hair and skin essentials, with stylists for cuts, color, and protective styles. From edge control to a quick shape-up, they keep you polished.
Crispy, saucy fix: At Six Car Pub & Brewery, wings hit crispy outside, juicy inside, and sauced just right, with a fresh pint always nearby. It’s the laid-back Amarillo hang for great wings, zero big-chain vibe, and an easy night with friends.
Dial in your swing: Two distinct 18s, a real practice space, and easy tee-time booking make Ross Rogers Golf Complex perfect for a quick reset round or friendly match that won’t eat your day. Smooth pace, approachable vibes, and greens that reward good swings… you might even chase a few birdies and remember why you like golf.
Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn more about my favorite online options here.

Someone Googled you this week 👀
It may feel like an invasion of privacy, but unfortunately It’s the new normal. Whether you’re joining a committee, selling something locally, dating again, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up online.
Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.
Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you – or someone you care about – to clean up outdated results that no longer tell the real story. Learn more here.
