Good morning, Amarillo.

Carly Bueno is searching the Texas Panhandle for her late Grammy's red antique couch and matching chair after reconnecting with a past seller through social media.

The pieces, originally from The Big Texan and later owned in Borger or Dumas, might be reupholstered—and if found, Carly will buy them back to preserve cherished family memories.

Saint Francis Ministries is offering the PAL Program to help teens aging out of foster care build essential life skills and secure a new start in adulthood.

The program serves youth aged 14—21 with classes in health, safety, financial management, and job readiness while providing a reliable support system during their transition.

Amarillo Animal Management and Welfare has launched an AI tool—developed with Petco Love—that helps pet owners reunite with lost pets by matching clear photos with a database of found animals.

Director Victoria Medley said the free service on the AAMW website and neighborhood apps will allow community members to upload pet photos and receive alerts when a match is found.

The co-owners have cleaned up the site (which spans 13 acres) and will soon paint the water tower (a seven-figure project) to draw traffic off I-40 and Route 66.

McAlister’s on I-40 has permanently closed today—its sign shows the location has been shuttered for almost a week.

Students near Tascosa High School must now travel to the remaining McAlister’s at 8605 SW 34th—which still offers counter service.
