Lubbock: Dowtown And Tech Campus

Well yesterday was a nice day so I took advantage of it and went out to take pics.

There's a replica of the Wall for those who died in the Vietnam War (half the size). The real one is in D.C. of course.

Nice pictures. There are large three cities in Texas I haven't gotten to yet: Midland, Odessa, and Lubbock. I was going to stop in on my way to Amarillo, but the weather turned freaky. I'll always remember seeing Lubbock from the freeway (I-27?) and the funnel cloud snaking up from the horizon behind it. It was the freakiest thing I'd seen in a long time. Looked just like a movie. Anyway, I decided to keep going.

Keep posting pics!

Ah yes, west texas weather...so beautiful yet so destructive at the same time. We havent really had any severe weather yet this semester so i guess that is good, but you kinda get tired of it being so dry and sunny EVERY day...never thought I would say that

Location alone doesnt explain how Lubbock came into being.

But I think I know - Rail, and Cattle. Prior to rail cattle were driven from Fort Worth to Wyoming and Montana and back from there to here, Lubbock became a stop along the way and when rail took off then it became a likely candidate for a rail stop - one thing led to another and eventually Lubbock was the site of Texas "TECHNICAL" school - strange place for a tech school. Should have been in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio or Galveston.
