- Lubbock is a city in northwest Texas known as the birthplace of rock ’n’ roll legend Buddy Holly. The Buddy Holly Center celebrates his life and music with artifacts and mementos. Nearby is the West Texas Walk of Fame, with a statue of Holly and plaques honoring musicians from the region. The Museum of Texas Tech University houses millions of objects of art, history and paleontology, plus the Moody Planetarium.
We live in Lubbock it’s great . And for those that say it’s “ boring “ … no ! You’re boring! It’s not the city’s job to entertain you . Trust me there’s plenty to do in Lubbock. My wife and I go out all the time and we are never bored !
I've lived in Washington, DC most of my adult life. I'm done with the "excitement" of big city life, the meanness of its people, the rat race, anxiety and stress. Give me someplace like Lubbock! The people are friendly, the weather great most of the year, the housing is affordable, life is infinitely better AND there's one of the best universities with fantastically responsible and mature students you're apt to ever find right there in the heart of it all. Yeah, Lubbock's for me.
I live in Lubbock too I love it here too! we go to lake Alan henry and buffalo sprigs to fish and swim!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@saDetailer I’m glad we can make you laugh
I agree❤
My grandmother was one of the first ones to graduate Texas Tech back in 1923. I am raised here born in a little town called Rotan. I lived in Lubbock, Vernon, Plainview, Lubbock again, brief stint in Columbus ,Ohio, finished School,, then got married, husband passed away, still lived in Lubbock for a while, got remarried moved to Houston, then moved to Las Vegas, Nevada my second husband passed away, then I found myself back here 5 years ago. I love Lubbock except for the dust. It a great move if you choose to live here .
The dust is one reason I can't live there I've heard the dust storms are horrible there and my allergies would go crazy
Nice drive tour of Lubbock TX
Thanks for the video. I was born in Lubbock but we left when I was a baby. I've never really seen what it looks like so thanks.
We've been here in LUBBOCK for almost 3yrs now...some people tell its BOONIES meaning an isolated place for me it's not..because we have Regional Airport here in Lubbock..I'm proud to tell that Lubbock is a very Safe place to live here in Texas...less crime rate and very peaceful neighborhood..❤❤❤
"Currently on Indiana Avenue... Heading west." West of Avenue A in Lubbock, named streets run north-south, and numbered streets run east-west.
my uncle and aunt were in Lubbock for many years. My mom and i would fly down there from Portland Oregon and visit them.
If Aldi, Trader Joe's, and Wholefoods open stores in Lubbock, it would be grocery Utopia.
LOL 😂 I agree
I love Lubbock..So safe and less crime in this City....its near to AMARILLO...6hrs to Dallas..TEXAS TECH is in Lubbock..proud of this City..
Nice video! I move to Lubbock next month.
Well here's an early Welcome to Lubbock!
Good jobs there ?
Hey, great video! What camera did u used to record this? Thx!
Lived in Lubbock in ‘77 on NW’69th. Went to NatWilliam’s Elementary
Thank you
Buddy Hollys hometown
Also Mac Davis's too.
The big tall brown building to your left used to be the Legal Aid office years ago.now shut down moved to different locations
Buddy Holly city
my old hometown, great to see it again, since i live long ways from there now, but i was raised not far from lubbock and then lived there 15 years, wont be able to return again prolly so good to see it. iattended tech a number of years too
It looks like shit
Hello, could someone tell me what the city is like? Yes, there are a lot of job offers. We are looking for houses in Lubbock, but we don't know anything about the city. If you could help me.
the building in 5:04 is not there any more
Im in wichita falls texas and we hear about lubbock alot over here for some reason dont know why because we are not even close to lubbock
I miss that town. Go Red Radiers!
You were driving south not west
Oh man those roads look great they dont even know what an overpass is here in Tn.
100x better than any british road. Hoping to move here soon
Omg i see my moms work weeks Fargo i was born in lubbock tx
At 4:16 (the building with green grass) that's our Courthouse. If you hadn't cut the clip directly after that, you would've seen our building on Broadway.
That really tall building you saw downtown, that is the tallest building to survive a direct hit from an F-5 Tornado. (1970)
Thanks for visiting our city!
Yes, would definitely be better if the landmarks were correctly named. We do have a few things to be proud of here.
I am thinking about moving to Lubbock Texas from Medford Oregon. Thank you for posting.
The biggest complaints about the LBK is it's boring and dusty
@@codywhite2002 what do people do in Lubbock Texas for fun. In southern Oregon we have hiking trails, river rafting, fishing, camping, beautiful mountain views, Shakespeare festival, hellgate jet boat excursions, and various other outdoor activities
We got a lot of that kind of stuff not to much to do on the water. One good thing about lubbock is we're close to other places in a couple of hours you could be skiing in New Mexico. Live music is big. Its like anywhere if you got the money there's plenty to do.
Ver las casas
13:02 Did you accidentally stumble across a crime scene?
Umm the Fraternities and sororities are west in 19th and North of Quaker. That tall building downtown was the one that took a full hit by a F5 Tornado and twisted the building. After determining it was safe all the new bricks were replaced and it’s been a steady sold out high rise business center containing NTS at one time. You need a resident to ride with you. Seriously!
Maybe you can voice over my next drive?!
NOT TRUE... The frats/sorority homes are located in Greek Circle, and that's located on the immediate east side of Quaker AV, between 19th and 34th.
Whats the hottest temperature in Lubbock during summer
I attended Texas Tech in the early ‘60s. Why didn’t you slowly drive around the campus & into downtown on Broadway? Driving through residential neighborhoods & past shopping malls made for a boring tour.
I enjoy the video but gotta say coming from a big city, Lubbock looks a little rough to me 😬.
A little ? 😂
@millenialmusings8451 😊 I know. I am from the Seattle Surburb. I drove by a few places in TX two summers ago and they looked worse hahaha.
@@1.gatuquan I've been stuck here in Lubbock for last 6 years it's very boring noting to do here apart from getting drunk in frat bars
Lubbock is the most boring place I’ve ever been to, moved from LA to lubbock and looked for the right opportunity to leave. If you like slow and simple life, Lubbock is the place to be.
if you are driving west on Indiana, that's a good trick. Indiana runs north/south. 😁😁
I lived there in the '80s. Your tour of Texas Tech was a short blur. The entire video was just short bits of the city. You could barely tell what direction you were going. I know when you were on Indiana, you said you were going west, but that street runs north and south. The city roads are so easy to get around because they are in numerical order and alphabetical order for the most part. The number streets run east and west and the name streets run north and south mostly.
Yeah it used to be, but the newer parts aren't as organized.
There are parts I don't recognize and I live here.
That area around HEB has grown much in the last 2 years.
Hell no! Lived there, and people are rude as shi+ and many live beyond their means.
Lubbock is Spelled LubbOCK! Not ICK do you say Octopus or Ictopus? Its Lubbock!!
Having just driven through there, can attest to the fact it is flat, boring and downright ugly. Downtown Lubbock is one of ugliest downtowns have ever seen. Honestly, feel a bit sorry for all the kids that go to Texas Tech. Nothing there.
It's west texas not north texas..
Geographically it's north Texas. Even though people like to call it west texas
Lubbock is a boring city. But the people there are very kind. I’m from a big city. (Fort Worth Texas) and I like to think we are friendly city but those cities in the Texas panhandle treat you like family.
Well said!
It’s embarrassing they have a store called “oriental market” instead of Asian market. Cultural appropriation aside, I’m sure it’s not intentional, but cmon.
Edit: it’s been over two decades since I last visited this town. 114th st? That area was nothing but fields and dirt. Now they have a HEB? What a time to be alive.
No disrespect to your video, but this has to be one of the most dreadfully dull and boring cities of all time. I was shocked to learn you can get an urban planning degree from Texas Tech…in a city with absolute zero concept of urban planning 😂
Looks like a miserable place!
@PaytonNeufeld damn librels
@PaytonNeufeld that's what they all say. back peddling libs!
I can never live in such a boring small city.
Good. Probably don't need you in Lubbock anyway. At least you are honest.
@@joewarren3608 I'm interested in knowing what the city is like. polls houses there, we just need it to be quite calm and find job offers, is the city good?
@@DailenHernandez-ol6ldif you are a conservative the city is great. If you are a liberal no the city of Lubbock is awful 😂
You say that, but once settled in…kidding. It’s boring as heck and the food can get old real quick.
No thanks I'll stick to living in australia
Haahahahaha... Geraldton reminded me very much of Lubbock, except that the countryside around Lubbock was colorful with the cotton crop (April through early October or so). Geraldton folks (as well as the people I met while also visiting Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, but especially in Geraldton) were VERY friendly. I had a great time there.
