Lubbock appears to be doing well from a national standpoint regarding how their city is being run. The magazine 24/7 Wall Street recognized this city in a great way.

I'm actually not surprised. I think Lubbock mananges to provide a lot of services in proportion to the taxes and fees it collects. They don't seem to waste a lot on "fluff."

You could say that. (Maybe it's the giant Buddy Holly glasses. )

But I still also believe that the city could do better with not just planning, but overall vision for their community.

Still, though, they got recognized, so that's saying something.

Lol! Sorry but I didn't see your reply until today.

I went to see my doctor at Lubbock last week and I thought his new receptionist was Buddy himself! The kid was tall and lanky with dark hair. He also had a pair of Buddy Holly black glasses on. I expected him any minute to lean over to the girl next to him and call her Peggy Sue.

No, they didn't have Buddy Holly muzac going.
