Old Amarillo

This is from Amarillo Blvd. looking south toward Wildhorse Lake, the original home of Amarillo.

From the "Boulevard" old highway 60.

Downtown sure has changed alot from the old days. This post took a couple of days to put together, I wanted to give a little history (little is relevant) of Amarillo. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did putting it together. I really like the fact we needed a mental hospital before we needed a real hospital.
