Lubbock, TX - City Tour & Drive Thru

[@michaelnudelman8591]

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 !

[@CaesarInVa]

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 love Lubbock except for the dust. It a great move if you choose to live here .

[@joewarren3608]

"Currently on Indiana Avenue... Heading west." West of Avenue A in Lubbock, named streets run north-south, and numbered streets run east-west.

[@destinycaptain247]

Noticed that too. It’s impossible to travel West on Indiana… it runs North and South only.

[@virginiagross5836]

Nice video! I move to Lubbock next month.

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.

[@teresitaabaloyan8081]

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..❤❤❤

[@chipdowns]

The building twisted by tornado is the Great plains life insurance building.

[@TorstenFelder-bn2ez]

Wow. Haven't been there since my semester as an exchange student at the university some many years ago. Interesting to see, much of it looks familiar.

Lubbock is one of the most violent cities in Texas. If you don't believe me...do a search. On the other hand....if you live there and like it...God bless.

[@scopingyourcivilian1985]

the building in 5:04 is not there any more

[@michaeljames1930]

I lived in Lubbock in the 70s and 80s, it was nothing but dirt, wind and cotton fields. I lived on 92nd st and everything was brand new

[@kathypellette2509]

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

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.

[@danr.5304]

​@@DailenHernandez-ol6ldcurious if you ended up making the move. Here for about 3 years for family but on our way back out. Dust and lack of diverse landscapes did it for us.

[@eliseross6885]

@@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

[@codywhite2002]

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.

[@MatthewHarrisLawPLLC]

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!

[@lalero77]

Yes, would definitely be better if the landmarks were correctly named. We do have a few things to be proud of here.

[@LikeToDrive]

Hey, great video! What camera did u used to record this? Thx!

[@DonMcGuire-s4u]

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.

[@GadjetGriller]

Lubbock is Spelled LubbOCK! Not ICK do you say Octopus or Ictopus? Its Lubbock!!

[@shaunparsley1068]

Lol!! That's right!! Not Luu bock either!!

[@dcricket1]

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!

[@brittrips]

Maybe you can voice over my next drive?!

[@joewarren3608]

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.

[@shaunparsley1068]

I was 4 months when the Tornado hit. My mother said she slept right through it! She told me we lived behind Goodners/Bryan's in that area. No injuries in that area. I'm alive!!

[@chipdowns]

The building that was hit and twisted by the tornado. Was the Great plains life insurance building. My self and my whole fam family all grew up and went to school in Lubbock.

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.

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.

[@robertstevens913]

Yeah it used to be, but the newer parts aren't as organized. There are parts I don't recognize and I live here.

[@amaliaescobedo5561]

That area around HEB has grown much in the last 2 years.

[@michaeljames1930]

I lived in Lubbock in the 70s and 80s. Nothing but wind, dirt and cotton fields. Everything was new around 92nd st. I hung out at the 711 on 82nd and University in 1979 through 1982

[@abrahamkim1078]

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.

[@VahidMusictx]

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!

[@philgutterboyhuron7350]

Geographically it's north Texas. Even though people like to call it west texas

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 😂

[@disapointed1016]

Hell no! Lived there, and people are rude as shi+ and many live beyond their means.

[@shaunparsley1068]

if you are driving west on Indiana, that's a good trick. Indiana runs north/south. 😁😁

[@adams8132]

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.

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.
