Howdy Amarillo Dems/Libs/Progressives, i'm about to relocate to Amarillo from DFW

[onetexan]

in a few weeks. Kinda dreading it but trying to be supportive of the hubby. If you're a local (Amarillan?), please give some advice which area to stay (safety is a must), good restaurant recommendations and things to do (outdoors activities, music, arts, etc.). We are in early fifties BTW.

Also is there a local Dems club to plug into?

Thanks!

1. I wish I could help. You have a good idea though.

Smart of you to try to find like minds ahead of the move. Good luck, I hope you find many.

2. You have The Big Texan Steakhouse

If you live in Amarillo, that's required eating

5. LOL well my hubby will probably like that given he's into beef

He said it was featured on one Anthony Bourdain episode

Both have Twitter and Facebook accounts

Bangkok Tokyo has good Yelp ratings:

The downtown area is quite lively, featuring a farmer's market and jazz concerts all summer long.

A good place to keep up with Amarillo activities, concerts and stuff is through the local PBS affiliate:

4. Excellent! Thanks very much

Great to hear re: farmer's market & jazz concerts, right up our alley. I was happy to find Amarillo has a Market Street grocery store & a Target . Will def'ly need to try Bangkok Tokyo as well, and plug into the Dems clubs in the area.
