Hispanarepublicana:

I finish my semester on Monday morning and will take my digital camera with me on that day. would you mind collaborating on a thread on Monday afternoon/evening? I can provide the up-to-date photos of the campus and surrounding area and you can ping the usual TTU folks.
How does that sound to you?

It is on the south side of town along 82nd street (Lubbock now extends well beyond 100th street). I'll post the pic in a minute.

Keep in mind that this was taken on opening day before the grass was planted around the memorial.

Here is part of the Overton Park redevelopment project. This is across the street from the football stadium. This is a set of business/condo combinations. The ground floor is for businesses while the upper floors are for condos.

I was so shocked at that whole area of apartments/condos on the east side of University - what a huge undertaking - but desperately needed since most apartments near campus were way past their prime.

Would you put me on the Tech/Lubbock ping list? I don't live that far from Lubbock now. I lived there a total of 3 years, but it still feels like home when I go there.

I'd live anywhere in Texas rather that live in another state...


anywhere, that is, but Houston.

I 'd live in Florida first.

Thanks for adding me to your ping list. I get to come to Lubbock once or twice a year. When we moved there Slide Road was about as far west as the city went...now it seems Lubbock goes all the way to Levelland!

AAC, I have photos from the roof of the Saigon Hotel in 1968 and of downtown Saigon where the little boys would try to get the GI to give them a cigarette.
