Melissa Dailey, ex-Director of Transportation and Planning for Downtown Fort Worth, Inc., is the new CEO of Downtown Amarillo, Inc. OK, so that's a news flash: There really is a downtown Amarillo. Melissa will do well there. She was instrumental in our downtown Heritage Trails program, which meant she, too, had to work with the Miserly Mistress (yikes!), and updated everybody who would listen on all the upcoming redevelopment projects throughout the downtown area.
