Good morning, Amarillo.

Hooters closed its doors in Amarillo this week after employees learned of the closure by text, leaving locals curious about the fate of the restaurant’s horse from the Center City art project — building owner Brayden Engler said he will preserve the horse as he prepares the property for new tenants.

An Amarillo DoorDash driver disputed a contract violation over a delay caused by new staff at Jason's Deli—she said she could not control the wait and expects the charge to be removed after the review.

6th Street in Amarillo has changed a lot in almost 20 years with new shops, cafes, and art spots drawing tourists along historic Route 66.

The street hosts the yearly Route 66 Festival — a busy event with food, music, and art that brings locals and visitors together.

Sgt. Cody Lavery and K—9 Sam of the Amarillo Police Department won 1st place in Narcotics Detection and 2nd place in the Patrol K—9 category at a competition in Lubbock from June 25—27, and their win shows the department’s focus on strong training for community safety.
