Can You Guess the Iconic TV Show Locations in These Google Street View Images?

A Texas City Is Launching A Home Camera Sharing Program With Police
Would You Partner Up With Law Enforcement To Share Your Doorbell Camera Footage?. Home security cameras have been helpful in solving crimes and giving us entertainment at the same time but a new program being launched by a Texas police department asking residents for access to their security cameras is about to spark a lot of debate when it comes to privacy.
[WATCH] Here’s Why You Should NEVER Top Off Your Gas Tank
It's hard not to top off the gas tank when you're just a few cents shy of a nice round number. Pretty much everybody does it. My folks did it when I was a kid, and so now, I do it too. If my total comes out to $19.82 or something, I'm going to shoot for getting the whole $20 into the tank and then pat myself on the back for not going a penny over my goal.
A Dog In Amarillo Ingested Meth At A Thrift Shop
It's always interesting when I come across something I can slide in the "only in Amarillo" file. This one has to qualify though, because I've never heard of something like this happening, yet for some reason, I'm not exactly shocked it happened here. A dog is recovering after ingesting methamphetamine...
Thousands of Texas Workers Are About To Lose Their Jobs
Tesla plans to lay off 2,688 employees at their Austin, Texas factory this June. The layoff notice was given Monday under the WARN Act (Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification), which requires a 60-day notice if more than 100 employees are going to be let go. According to USA Today, the...
Something Texas Hasn’t Seen In 30 Years Has Arrived
In Texas, we're so big we see a lot of different things pop up and often. Nothing is really "new" to us, and when something opens, it's not typically a rarity. However, something has popped up here that we haven't seen in 30 years. The craziest thing about it is...
For Many Texas Cities, Home Prices Have Doubled At Worrying Pace
As my husband and I walked through a lovely neighborhood a few nights ago, we soaked in the beautiful Spring weather. We also passed by a house for sale. I've been paying attention to the market, as I would love to jump from condo to stand-alone home, so I know how expensive and nearly impossible the market is for buyers right now.
Can Texas Police Legally Fly Drones Above Your House?
Everyone in Texas loves their own private time. After a long day of work, there's nothing like coming home and relaxing. Whether it be reading a book, or watching a favorite show, there's many ways to unwind. But, there's always something that could break us out of our relaxing moment.
Buc-ee’s Celebrity Sighting: Mom and Daughters Meet ‘Saved by the Bell’ Star
I can only imagine how excited some Texas people would be if they ran into this Saved by the Bell celebrity in one of our Lone Star state Buc-ee's locations. Recently, we shared a story of a Lenny Kravitz sighting at the Daytona Beach, Florida Buc-ee's location, which you can read about here. Yes, we wish that visit had occurred at a Buc-ee's closer to us--like in Terrell, Texas, for example.
Interactive Map Show Which Texas Cities Will Be Under Water in 50 Years
When we think of a shrinking coastline, we tend to think more about the shrinking coastline of our neighbors in Louisiana, but Texas is also shrinking thanks to rising waters. Our state is not only shrinking due to rising waters, though, Texas is also eroding. "The average erosion rate for the 367 miles of Texas coast is 4.1 feet per year. Sixty-four percent of the Texas coast is eroding at an average rate of about 6 feet per year, with some locations losing more than 30 feet per year." According to Texas.gov.

Texas Heat Anticipated to Break Records in Coming Years
Is Texas getting too hot to handle as temperatures are on the rise year after year?. According to a recent Climate Report from Texas A&M, The Lone Star State is indeed rising in average temperatures as time goes by. In fact, it's projected that by the year 2036, the number of 100-degree days will quadruple from those in the 1980s.
Saving Texas Heritage: Inside Alamo’s Multi-Million Dollar Revamp
One of the most, if not the most, famous landmarks in Texas is the Alamo. It's a huge part of the Lone Star State's identity. It has been featured in major Hollywood movies, was rumored to have had a basement where a person could hide a bike, and even had an infamous run-in with Ozzy. It makes sense, then, that the Alamo should be something that lives up to the image that has been painted of it in the public. The cost of that face-lift is eye-watering and comes with a steep price.
The Magic Of NCCIL: Inspiring Academic Excellence In Abilene’s Students
I am a huge fan of the National Center for Children's Illustrated Literature (NCCIL) here in Abilene. Growing up I learned very quickly that if I was going to do well in school I had to learn how to be a better reader. My second-grade teacher was instrumental in helping me find the kinds of books that kept my interest and improved my reading skills.

Around A Dozen East Texas School Districts Have Joined In On The Movement To Reduce School Weeks. I'm in my 40s and we wished we didn't have to school 5 days a week but it was the standard and the norm. Its becoming more and more clear to this observer that since we're "the adults" now, we can make the world into what we wanted it to be for us, but our kids get to enjoy the benefits.
Keep Your Pet Safe and Vaccinate: It’s the Law in the Big Country
During a recent interview with the founder of Rescue the Animals, Paul Washburn revealed that there has been an increase in illnesses amongst cats like leukemia in and around Abilene. Let us not forget that this is the time of year when Rattlesnakes are biting dogs in Abilene and the Big Country. So the question arose "What vaccines are required by the City of Abilene to keep our pets safe?"
