Looking south on Polk Street from 8th Avenue in downtown Amarillo. Amarillo, Spanish for "yellow," was taken from the color of a nearby creek bank. Only a few years ago, Amarillo and the Plains were regarded as worthless. Today, Amarillo, with a growing population of over 150,000, is one of the top ten business cities in the nation.
