Review of Amarillo, Texas


Get me outta here!!!!
Star Rating - 9/9/2006
Out of all the places that I've lived in the U.S., this is the worst. This city is stuck out in the middle of nowhere on extremely flat land. The natives here will readily admit that there is nothing to do and nowhere to go except church. Crime is high for such a small town; auto accident deaths are a daily occurence. Housing is expensive considering there is nothing to do here. The summers are dry and extremely hot; the winters are cold, icy, & very windy. Everyone here is sure to tell you that the people are nice and it's a great place to raise a family. Neither of these statements are true. These are probably the most close-minded, Bible thumping, people that I have ever met. If you follow the local newspaper's online blog, you will see that they have no tolerance for others opinions. They put emphasis on sports than academics, in the schools. We plan on leaving in a year when my husband retires. P.S. Jobs are few and salaries are poor.
