Hello,
I am hoping that I have found everyone from the old board. I am trying to locate the person who took pictures for me awhile back and posted them. These were pics of places on the North side of Amarillo that I used to go to when I was young. Shortly after these were posted, my hard drive crashed and I lost them all, THEN when I went to the site to re-save them, the site had been discontinued.
I am hoping and praying that person sees this and would be kind enough to re-post the pics.
It meant alot to me to have them and it broke my heart to lose them.
Thanks for everything!
ED

The pictures with "s" in the name ( NE1s.jpg for example) are the small versions of the same picture with out the "s" in the name (NE1.jpg) Just click on a name or right click to open in another window.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
For those of you who don't know, my mom passed away this past Christmas Eve. I grew up in Amarillo, and I have many wonderful memories of my neighborhood and places I used to go...
My hard drive crashed right around the same time that the newspaper took down the forum, and I thought the pictures were lost forever. This time I will be smart and put them on a disc. I honestly was more upset about losing those pictures than anything else that I lost.
It means so much to me to have them back. Thanks so much. You made my day!
ED

Jazzman, aka Veggieboy, I sent your picture of Ding How to a woman that I visited with in San Francisco this fall. Her name is Shirley Fong. Her father was the owner of Ding How. She has a thriving cooking and touring busines in China Town. We booked the tour and she asked where we were from. When I said, Amarillo, she was oh so excited. She related that she was 3 when she left Amarillo but would like to have pictures of Ding How. I came home, and quickly forgot my pledge for pictures. Plus, I don't really know how to take and download and all that stuff. Anyway, I copied your photo today and forwarded it to you. I hope you made her day also. Isn't it wonderful how small the world really is.

forgot to mention the name of her tour. It is "Wok Wiz" It was a couple of hours tour of China town and was fascinating. We got to sample lots of items on our tour and then had lunch in a Chinese restaurant bringing all that we had learned together. Anyway, thanks for posting it again.

I don't know how to Pm on this site. Cat can you send him a PM because I bet Ms. Fong will try to contact him. Here is the site to her tour company. www.wokwiz.com/ |

Thanks for the info! I don't peruse this board very much so I did miss this thread. I'm glad so many have liked this photo. I should have taken a photo of the front of the building. I would have but there were some homeless people hanging around who were looking at me as a potential mark for panhandling and I wasn't having the right kind of day to put up with that kind of crap. I might go back and take another shot next time I have my camera with me.
Thanks Cat for the heads up. You one cool Cat!
