About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In Amarillo, after hours of waiting for her appointment, Mrs. Johnson noticed something peculiar outside the Amarillo Family Healthcare & Weight Loss clinic. Her young granddaughter, who usually ignored signs and billboards, pointed excitedly towards the building's entrance. ‘Grammy, look!’ she exclaimed, pointing at a strange shadow flickering on the wall. As they approached, the shadow resolved into an old man in a tattered suit, dozing off while leaning against the doorframe. Startled awake by their arrival, he mumbled, ‘Oh, sorry there! Thought I was still at home watching TV.’ Turning to the little girl, he added with a wink, ‘Guess I fell asleep standing up again!’
2. In Amarillo, one day while waiting for his turn in the weight loss clinic, a little boy kept glancing out the window and whispering, ‘Daddy, why are those people so big?’ Finally, an older gentleman walked in, took off his shirt, and said proudly, ‘Son, these aren’t people who are “big,” they’re just my friends from the gym!’ Everyone burst into laughter, including the little boy, whose face turned red with embarrassment.
3. In Amarillo, one morning as a delivery driver parked outside the clinic, he heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our scale is temporarily out of order. For your convenience, we’ve installed a new one…in the lobby.’ Soon enough, another voice chimed in: 'And if you happen to weigh more than 300 pounds, please use the stairs.' A delivery driver chuckled and muttered to himself, thinking it was some elaborate prank until his friend pointed out, 'Hey, maybe they really did install a scale for heavyweights!'
4. In Amarillo, one afternoon as a delivery driver parked outside the clinic, he overheard two patients discussing their unusual experiences with the scale. One patient mentioned, ‘I stepped on it backwards and it said I was pregnant!’ The other laughed, shaking his head, ‘Next time you see Dr. Smith, tell him your husband’s been cheating.’ They both cracked up, leaving the delivery driver puzzled but smiling, thinking maybe Amarillo had its own unique brand of humor.
