Lubbock astronaut William McCool graduated from Coronado High School and became the pilot of the space shuttle Columbia, which tragically disintegrated upon re-entry and killed all members of the crew. He was posthumously awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor. Lubbock is home to the historic depot district, which has all kinds of live music and entertainment. Cactus Theatre was born in 1938 as the first neighborhood movie theatre but is now a live music venue. The Blue Light Live is a great place for local artists to showcase their talents.

Lubbock was voted Most Extreme Weather a few years ago because you can absolutely see all four seasons in one day! It is also the home of Buddy Holly and there is a wonderful museum dedicated to his (way too short!) life. Lubbock has three universities with Texas Tech being the largest and most well-known and sports (especially football!) are HUGE in this part of Texas.

Here in Lubbock, Texas, we are a college town. Texas Tech University is the main attraction here. We have a record amount of places to eat for our population so dig in! Not only that but we also have an amusement park as well called, Joyland. There are many other attractions such as our numerous parks much like Mackenzie park, which features a huge wooden life-size castle. One of the greats, Buddy Holly, was born in Lubbock; we have an entire museum dedicated to him and icons that have come from Lubbock.

The Hub City is the home of Buddy Holly and Texas Tech University. These provide for a rich history and nightlife to explore. The faith community is vast, strong and diverse, thus Lubbock affords the faithful plenty of opportunity to join a community. Lubbock’s school system has several fantastic districts where children can get a fantastic education. Anyone moving to Lubbock has much to appreciate. They need only adjust to our flat land and constantly blowing wind.
