I moved to Lubbock nearly seven years ago for a coaching job that opened up. In that period of time Lubbock has grown approx 12-18%. The south and west parts of town are like a boom town. Parts of the north side, towards Shallowater is also growing fast. Texas Tech and the medical field is fueling the growth. I grew up in Wichita Falls, in the mid 70's when I was in school. Lubbock, Abilene, WF, and Amarillo we're all about the same size. Since then, all but WF has had sizable growth. I talked with a local business owner awhile back- the numbers for Lubbock's new census population #'s could be in the 270,000 range. I'm no chamber of commerce guy, but I'm five hours from Santa Fe, 3 hours from Ruidoso, summer thu winter isn't bad with oppressive heat / humidity or howling blizzards. But you are certainly right about the spring time dusters.
I travel quite a bit, there are way more places worse off than Lubbock.

Pay me what you were paying him. I'd find life in Lubbock pleasant as hell.Divining Rod said:
sorry to create another thread on Tech, but I thought this was too big to bury… I just saw this last night and was stunned. siap)
I'm thinking the reason Wells was let go now in addition to the KSt loss being so devastating was his response (actually no response) in presser to the question of what's so great about living in Lubbock. I think that got stuck in Mr. West Texas Moneybags' craw like a 6" T-Bone.
Can you imagine your coach, charged with recruiting talent to Lubbock, which is the lifeblood of your program, having THIS " response" to a question he should have addressed 5,000 times by now to recruits and their families?

We manage 100 rentals in Lubbock, and constantly have squatter/ drug problems. The Walmart by campus can't have any shopping carts left from the crackheads stealing them.
It's odd to me how both Baylor and Tech have the hood touching their campus. But at least Baylor keeps buying it up as it comes up for sale. Tech just lets the rot remain
