Had a great time at the football game on Saturday night. Beautiful stadium. Decent food options…read more Good fan support. Good band with crisp sound and good formation. Football players did their job!

Really, I don't even know where to start with this. How do you review four years of your life?…read moreLet's start with what I know: If you're an Art, Theater or Communication major, your department just got the most kick-ass makeover ever. A sweet new building, new computer labs, two top of the line TV studios, the best damn broadcasting department in the nation, a better-than-pro radio studio to match, new theaters (yes, multiple!), new music studios. You name it. That's the place to be on this campus. If you are one of many commuters at this school, I hope you have a lot of money to spend on parking tickets, because the $40 you wasted on a permit won't get you anywhere. I show up to class 20 minutes early and can't find a place to park, some days. The new President seems to have a lot of direction and a lot of good ideas. I never felt like I was going places when I went to WT in 2001. Elie Wiesel just gave the freshman convocation address, for goodness' sake. You can't beat that! The athletic program is kicking ass and taking names, for those of you interested in that. Plus new facilitiees in the works and a new Jumbo-tron at the stadium (P.S. broadcasts are student-run). Unlike larger schools, you can get mega mega scholarships to study abroad because people are just starting to find out about that department. New construction, dorms, etc. everywhere you look. Oh, and a free gym if you're a student. And it's still small enough to be friendly and affordable, with a staff that's helpful rather than bureacratic (mostly). The downsides? Of course, the above-mentioned parking and construction. Also, the small class sizes... your department starts to feel incestuous sometimes. And it's not a highly recognized name. You kind of feel like you're wasting your time, sometimes. Also, there is NOTHING to do if you live on campus. Good luck if you or your roommate don't have cars. There's sports, and that's about it. So yeah, it can seem really lame in terms of activities sometimes, but that doesn't mean that there aren't ways to get involved and do cool stuff, too. I guess there's plenty to do if you're always hard at work with the organizations of your choice. But there's not a lot of cool stuff you can just go to, you know? It's a mixed bag, really. Updates as I think of them!

Starlight Canyon - Mesquite room hot tub (10/9/2022)

Starlight Canyon

Most folks reviewed Starlight Canyon after a weekend retreat with their fiancés, spouse or…read moresignificant other... It's that kind of place. Lol. I am the single mom who brought her kids here to share the Mesquite room on October 9-10, 2022. This bed and breakfast is located in a somewhat remote area of Amarillo, Texas. The surrounding landscape is a bit reminiscent of Palo Duro Canyon - which is just a short drive away - but not in an extreme way that the Lone Star state park yields. The view from the hot tub at 7:30PM was amazing with a glorious display of sunset colors. Robes were provided behind the bathroom door. Near the pond on the old red, white, and blue amusement park ride chair, we found a walking stick. A friendly orange Tabby cat kept returning to our front door. My 8 and 9-year-old couldn't resist petting the stray feline. We weren't crazy about the continental breakfast which comprised of a cherry turnover, Yoplait yogurt, and Tropicana apple juice so we'll pass on that if we don't stay on a morning when they offer a hot meal. Just a couple of other cons: I leave to pick up pizza in town and someone takes my spot in front of our door. Lol. Also, my stupid Sprint/T-mobile coverage was terrible here. The other accomodations definitely overrode the somewhat lacking Monday morning breakfast: quiet neighborhood, calm weather, microwave, mini fridge, iron & board, lots of programs on the TV, free Wi-Fi, walk-in shower, and private gated area with code access.

My wife and I are celebrating 20 years of marriage by going west and being spontaneous. When…read morelooking for a pace to stay, we found this, so we thought we would give it a go. We stayed in the Pinion. The positives. It's remote and really close to Palo Duro Canyon (18 minutes) That was nice. It's about 12 minutes from the Big Texan. It's in a pretty setting. The bed was comfy. We stay at B&B's because there is a level of expectation where hospitality takes over and you feel like you were being treated like royalty. This is not that place. It almost felt like our stay was a little bit of an inconvenience. The room is small and very dated, but covered in wood plank and not very clean. A lot of dust. This particular room did not have a shower and only a bath tub with the hot water trickles out. I'm not joking. It took about 30 minutes to fill the bathtub. Tip 1. Make sure to ask if the room you are booking has a shower if you're needing a shower for medical reasons or handicap accessibility. According to one of the reviews, and in their pictures, there appeared to be a nice shower in the mesquite, but we weren't given the chance to stay there. Once you get in the room, you're given two towels for the bath and two towels for the hot tub. I uncovered the hot tub to see that the water was very cloudy and it wasn't a result of the bubbles. So I put the cover right back on. They don't give you anything with respect to toiletries when it comes to soap or shampoo or lotions or bath bomb. So it really does feel like you're not being pampered. Bed And Breakfast should always feel like you're being pampered. And inside the room, you're not giving any type of bottled water, filtered water and so you rely on the bathroom sink in the bathroom tub. Which I thought was really bad. The outside of the room was covered in Pineneedles on the walkway, and so we tracked some into a room. When we were trying to get into the door, some even to get into the wheels of our suitcase. It was kind of annoying. The area is just really dated and not well kept. However, that does give it a very rustic feel and so if you're into that kind of thing that it may suit your fancy. It does have a really cute cat that keeps you company in the random deer that you will see from time to time. Overall, I'm sure it meets the needs of a specific clientele that would enjoy that atmosphere but when I go to a bed-and-breakfast, I consider myself to be high maintenance. So they certainly could meet the need a specific individuals however, it's not a place that I would really return to .

Don Harrington Discovery Center - The West Wing (people edited out)

Stepping into the Don Harrington Discovery Center in Amarillo is like entering a wonderland of…read morescience--complete with roaring dinosaurs, swirling galaxies, and lasers that make you say, "Whoa, did that just happen?" The place buzzes with curiosity from the moment you walk in. I kicked things off in the Sun, Earth & Universe gallery, pressing buttons to trigger solar flares and playing with real-time space weather--instant brain tickles that felt both geeky and awesome . Then I zipped over to the Outdoor Science Park, where a life-size T‑Rex and Triceratops loomed over a fossil dig pit. Kids were scooping up "bones" while I dodged tennis balls flying from a launcher--science meets playground shenanigans . Later, I curled up in the cozy Treehouse Reading Nook, surrounded by bird chirps from the aviary above--a peaceful contrast to the chaos of color bombs and bouncing probes . The highlight, though? The Space Theater, a full‑dome planetarium that launched me from Earth to black holes in minutes--complete with dramatic music and enough stars to rival my ex's eyes . It's clear DHDC is more than a kids' museum--it's a playground for inquisitive minds of all ages. Traveling exhibits keep things fresh, and a recent "Beyond: Unity in Community" display even won a national award for celebrating Afghan culture . Educational programs, planetarium shows, story times, and even sci‑fi-style "KABOOM!" demos fill the calendar . By the end of my visit, my cheeks hurt from smiling, my head buzzed with fun facts, and I momentarily considered launching myself into orbit. Instead, I left with a grin, a handful of newfound cosmic trivia, and a plan to bring all my friends next time. Bottom line: Don Harrington Discovery Center is science with soul--equal parts spectacle and insight. Whether you're a kid, a curious adult, or just someone who likes lasers and dinosaurs (who doesn't?), this place throws the perfect brain party.

This place was great until they put a tribute to Afghanistan complete with minaret and the flag of…read moreAfghanistan in the middle of the center!! We appreciated the free entry for military but after seeing that, we will not be renewing our memberships and glad we didn't pay this time. We will NOT be returning. They spent all that money to honor Afghanistan. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!!
