My mother and I went to a play in Amarillo recently, and also wandered through Polk street, which was the heart of the downtown shopping district when she lived there in the 1940's. We found the Paramount theater sign, which was restored and returned to the district in 2006.
We also found the enormous mansion that the Bivins family built with profits from the oil and beef industry. It is now used by the Chamber of Commerce, which, I guess, is fitting.
