Long John Silver’s lines jam Amarillo streets

Amarillo’s Long John Silver’s is back—and the drive-thru line is so long, it’s spilling into the street and even blocking other businesses’ parking lots. Some folks are driving hours just to get their fried fish fix, but local coffee shop owners are fed up with their lots being taken over. Even with signs warning about towing, some customers just don’t care. The buzz is real, but it’s creating real headaches for neighbors. What do you think—should the city step in, or is this just part of the excitement when a favorite spot returns? #Transportation #Amarillo #LongJohnSilvers

Abandoned dogs left in Amarillo heat

Finding dogs left outside Gracie’s Project Store in Amarillo, with no food, water, or shelter, is heartbreaking—especially in this summer heat. Volunteers are scrambling to care for these abandoned pets, even when space is tight. It’s not just about one or two dogs; overpopulation and neglect are growing problems here. There are affordable options for spaying and neutering, but too many people aren’t using them. Leaving pets outside puts their lives at risk. What can we do as a community to help stop this cycle and support responsible pet ownership? #Pets #Amarillo #AnimalRescue

Big tech changes hit Amarillo high schools

Walking into Amarillo high schools this year, students are facing a total ban on personal tech—no phones, tablets, or even smartwatches. But here’s the real curveball: even if your kid already owns a Chromebook, they can’t use it. Everyone is required to rent a school-issued device for $40, so the district can control what’s on them. Lockers are gone, backpacks are lighter, but tech rules are tighter than ever. How do you feel about schools taking this much control over student devices? Is this the best way to keep kids focused, or is it over the top? #Education #Amarillo #SchoolTech
