So This Is Main Street as Seen by a Collier's Poet
The Collier's essay by Hermann Hagedorn explores Amarillo as a quintessential Main Street town. He recalls visits in October, quotes librarian Willie Lee Martin, and contrasts the town's raw prairie look with hopeful notes on America's future and Main Street charm. The piece offers vivid impressions of streets, theaters, banks, and local life, ending with a remark on the town’s library.
