About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a delivery driver asked an amusing question: ‘Why does Amarillo Amigo Homes always seem to be selling houses that nobody ever moves into?’ A neighbor overheard the conversation and chimed in with a twinkle in his eye: ‘Oh, they do get sold—just not to humans!’ The delivery driver raised an eyebrow, curious. ‘Really?’ he asked. The neighbor nodded knowingly. ‘They’re bought by aliens who want a home away from home.’ From then on, whenever someone asked why no one moved in, everyone just smiled and said, “Probably another UFO real estate purchase.”
2. In the quiet aisles of Amarillo Amigo Homes, a curious package caught the eye of a delivery driver one afternoon. Curious, he opened it and found… nothing but a note that read: 'Welcome to Amarillo! Enjoy your stay!' The delivery driver shrugged and laughed, thinking maybe someone had pranked him. Later that evening, as he walked home through Amarillo Amigo Homes, he noticed a friendly wave from a neighbor. ‘Just moved in,’ she said with a smile, holding out an envelope. Inside was another note: “Enjoying our little game? Welcome!” Since then, whenever something unexpected arrives, residents just grin and say, ‘Another Amarillo Amigo surprise!’
3. At night, when Amarillo Amigo Homes closed its doors, a strange humming sound would occasionally drift through the streets. No one could quite pinpoint where it came from, but everyone agreed—it sounded like someone was whispering secrets in Spanish. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up outside and heard the humming too. Curious, he knocked on the door—nothing. Then he called out ‘¿Habla inglés?’ A voice replied softly from within, ‘Sí, pero solo cuando no hay clientes.’
4. In the early mornings, before the sun rose over Amarillo, a soft tinkling sound could be heard coming from inside Amarillo Amigo Homes. It was like wind chimes dancing in the breeze, but no one had placed them there. Curious neighbors soon discovered that it came from an old music box found among the belongings of a regular who moved out. Every day at dawn, it would play a lively Mexican tune until someone accidentally left the door open, and the little mechanical friend went on a joyride around town, delighting everyone with its impromptu performances. The Amarillo Amigo Homes became famous for their mysterious musical ambassador, and residents often joked that maybe it was trying to find its long-lost amigos.
