Review of Amarillo, Texas


Amarillo Texas, Sucks.
Star Rating - 2/5/2019
Amarillo is not a good place to live. For me it was like living in Hell. I lived there for 50 years. I graduated Canyon High. raised two kids. went through a divorce were the judge put me on the street in 48 hours. My X padded pockets,Texas is a 50/50 state but for most women they walk away with nothing some even end up homeless. Amarillo Texas is very hard on women, also Democrats, anyone who thinks different than those who run that town are done badly. If you notice there are only two different Convenience stores in all of Amarillo. Pack-a-sack and T-N-T. There is a reason for that, Same with donuts, car lots, real state, Non-profits, Thrift Stores, Etc. I knew a lady that owned a spa, They chased her out of town. This is no joke. The people there are mean. They do not like competition. And most are very greedy. You can not feed the homeless or let them camp on your property. The city code enforcement is dirty. If you go to a city meeting don't clap they will put you in jail. The leaders were ok with a female dog being euthanized while she was in labor. They called her G-7. The dog pound there kills Thousands of dogs monthly. Look it up. Cadillac Ranch was put there by a man that did nasty things to young boys. No one ever stood up to him or stopped him. All I see is a very evil place. Evil people, its a good old boy town. My family is there, my grand kids, all the memories I have are from there. It is my hometown. But I pray I never have to live there again. I'm terrified to even go back to visit.

Please tell me someone fought them and they didn't actually get to follow through with killing her. I'm glad I read this. I was looking at moving here BECAUSE of my animal rights love. Texas is listed #11 out of 50 of the states by the Animal Legal Defense Fund for Animal Protection Laws. This makes no sense.

All I have to say is WOW. I never expected this from a city that is supposed to be number 1 in the list of best places to invest in rental property. I am glad I read your post. This is the most eye-opening reading I have seen in a while. Thanks for your honesty.

Your post has convinced me that this is probably a good place to go to to escape from the madness I'm living with in CA. Seriously? can't let homeless camp on your property?
