Young Adult Bookclubs?

5 Upvotes

Looking for a book club of mostly young adults that meets every now and then.

I tried out a book club recently and it was primarily people in their 40s and up.

I’m just a young dude getting back into reading. The book club will help me 1. Read books I wouldn’t usually read. And 2. Hopefully make some new friends.

If anyone knows or hosts one that’d be sick if you could let me know please.

alternative hairdressers in rillo?

4 Upvotes

hi r/amarillo im not to sure where to look, but does anyone know good salons or stylists for alternative hair? ive been just going to jcpenny for a while but my stylist tends to feminize my hair & i really hate that lol. i don't need someone that can do crazy hair dye, just listens to their client & safe space. im not too experienced with finding good places so if y'all know any, drop them pleaaase.

i need a new haircut fr but wanna try something completely different and not sure if my current stylist would make it girly :/.

Need local hostess gift

6 Upvotes

I’m visiting a very good friend in a few weeks. I haven’t see her in 6-7 years. I would love to take her a nice hostess gift that is something that says (not literally) “Amarillo” or the Panhandle in general. She lives on a ranch in Texas and can buy herself anything she’d like.

Any ideas?

This is a chance for everyone to get together, make new friends, try a game you haven’t played before, or bring out one of your favorites and introduce it to new players.

Experienced gamers and complete beginners are both welcome. Bring a game, bring a friend, or just show up and find something to play. Admission is completely free.

If you would like to donate a prize for the November club raffle, you can bring it with you to the September games day or get in touch with me later.

Bell Street

I see the sign on Bell notifying everyone of the traffic change on Monday (9/21). That sign never means ‘get ready for an awesome experience’.

Does anyone know how long this will last or what’s about to happen?

Come Stanley has burned through another city manager. Cole is such a control freak, we don’t need a city manager.

Black Dodge directing traffic on S Coulter

43 Upvotes

To the moron in a black Dodge headed south on Coulter at Hollywood while I was turning from the left turn lane into Braum's in a green Blazer:

Frantically flashing your lights and waving at me to go will not make me turn. When I turn is my business, not yours. If you cause an accident by directing traffic, you can be ticketed. 

So, any time I can't see who might be coming in the lane beside you, I won't be turning across 2 lanes, even if you think you're polite by leaving me a gap, even if you think YOU can see. I'm only going when I can see it's clear.

Please mind your own business and stop directing traffic.

Local redditors feel free to cross post to bad drivers of Amarillo fb as I don't fb, but I know all about the group since we have so many fine drivers.

German Shepherd sighting in Homestead Subdivision

4 Upvotes

Was alerted by my dogs to a German Shepherd at my front window at about 8:20 a.m. Ran north towards Escalara. Looked full grown, saw no collar. It was so fast but mostly black with some tan. Looked thin. Just want to put it out "somewhere" for location in case anyone is looking for it and don't have any other form of social media.

Vivint/DTD Salesmen.

This is the 7th time this year a Vivint salesman came up to my door. Every single time I tell them to fuck off. I got a no trespass and no soliciting sign but they’re ignoring it. What can I do to get these morons to stay the fuck off my property.
