It's too hot to handle so I gotta get up and go
It's a cruel ... cruel summer"
Another voice — a progressive and kind voice — comes to Amarillo.
By tomorrow morning, some 30-plus locations in Amarillo will carry The Amarillo Independent, a free newsweekly, available for pick up. Some of those places include the three Hastings in Amarillo and the one in Canyon, the lobbies of the five Happy State Bank branches, M&R Liquors, the Ambassador, English Field Restaurant and Northwest Texas Hospital.
We’re starting small but look for in-depth coverage of the Texas Tech pharmacy school lawsuit and some coverage of the arts community. As we grow, we’ll do more investigative reporting and in-depth news on other topics. Our plan is to offer the community "Real News, Honest Journalism."
Enjoy the first issue and watch for a new one each week.
