I was born and raised in Lubbock. It’s not a terrible city. It just needs more to do for people in the age range of like 25-40. I would love to have a jazz club and a poetry lounge in the area.

I lived in Dallas for over 20 years, moved to be closer to aging family, and so far, 6 months in, Lubbock has been great! I just wish there was an Aldi’s and Belk’s here.

I like how you have used several Interstellar clips😂😂

Lubbock has really good public transportation.. it would be good if the buses went at least to Milwaukee but they stop at slide.. but we also have a real good Uber system 24/7.. personally I’ve been on the bus when there’s just a few people and other times it’s really packed… combining bus and uber you can easily get around Lubbock daily…

Thanks Andrew for making honest information about Lubbock. We are living here now in Carlsbad, New Mexico and we are planning to move there in Lubbock soon. Looking forward to your videos. Shoutout from Carlsbad NM. Cheers 🥂

The Buddy Holly Hall is one of the premier venues in the country.

Drivers. My mom has surgery there. We had to drive back home I had to drive VWEY slowly. . I had drivers honk like crazy and tail us instead of moving to another lane and speeding up. It was surreal.

I used to live in Lubbock about 24 or 25 years ago. I live in a small town 40 miles to the west currently right now though. Weather pretty much the same and probably just as boring place to live. But I imagine homeless/crime issues are much lower. :P My sisters and most of my extended family (on my Father's side) live in Lubbock though.

That’s right. Lubbock is the medical hub for west Texas and eastern New Mexico. I think Lubbock is a great little big town with lots of history and great Texas music venues.

What are you doing, bro? You’re killing me with this video 😅. When I lived in Albuquerque, your videos were the main reason, I moved to Lubbock. I actually bumped into you in the At Home store and acted like I bumped into a superstar.. LOL! Good information but we moved here two years ago and we absolutely LOVE IT!! I appreciate you giving out this information… This information wouldn’t have made a difference to me. Outside of not a lot to do as in the major cities, Lubbock is a good pace of life. We live in South Lubbock and the crime is not an issue at all in our time here. I will trade made that trade of dealing with low crime and living in a very nice area against the larger cities in Texas like Austin, Dallas, Houston or even places like San Antonio or El Paso. I am where I was meant to be

That makes me so happy to hear!!! Glad to know y'all love it and are doing well :)

Music venues in Lubbock are GREAT.

I fly for an air ambulance company and we fly into Lubbock all the time. Biggest haboob I’ve ever seen was in Lubbock, and I served overseas in Iraq, lol. It looked exactly like the scene out of The Mummy except nobody’s face was in the side of the haboob. Other than that, I find Lubbock really weird. It’s a college town, but very few things are open late night. When we drop off a patient at like 3AM it is kind of difficult to find anything to get a quick bite to eat aside from like IHOP. There used to be places like Josie’s or Luna Cafe that was open 24/7 but not anymore. It’s a weird dichotomy.

Don't forget the roaming homeless people that try to fight you for not giving them money, Or the high rates of human trafficking, Or the fact everyone drinks so drive at your own peril on the weekends, or how most of the small businesses are closed/ closing.

The crackheads on bikes that ride up and down the streets all day. The city raises your taxes every year so they can continue to fix the same 10 streets every year.

Where is the park located? Not Mackenzie Park, but the photo right after that one. I live in Lubbock and looking for things to do! I sure hope they bring in a new water park. I heard talks about it and think it would be great addition. I should add that I moved here three years ago.

It’s a private neighborhood park. You can’t go unless you live in the neighborhood of $500k+ homes.

Happiness is Lubbock, Texas in my rearview mirror

Dude! I grew up outside of Lubbock (Wolfforth), and everything you mentioned is true. Hot. Dry. Brown. Boring (unless you are REALLY into HS football). When I moved back to Dallas from Silicon Valley, the minute I crossed the state line from New Mexico, I drove straight into a dust storm.

We don’t seem to value beauty here in Lubbock. People live in trash. We also have a tremendous stray dagger problem here. It can be very dangerous.

Yes Lubbock is horrible. Bad weather, no food, no music, not nice people. Stay away! Don’t come here! Please for your own wellbeing, it is horrible here and I would not want you to feel bad for moving here. I will stay here but as a sacrifice only! I don’t enjoy it at all. I don’t enjoy the people, I don’t enjoy the small hidden places that have amazing food, I don’t enjoy all of the warm greetings that I get when I walk into a store, I don’t enjoy the most amazing sunsets that I have ever seen. Please stay away.

Nice video. I am a gay libral that is in lubbock because of Texas Tech. The weather is not that bad to me gets hot a lot later than the rest of Texas and no major tornado since the 70s. All my neighbors know I am gay and live with my husband have never had a problem and they have helped us by showing us home cams of people trying to break into our car (goes to your crime point). The biggest problem is water it is not assured and a lack of sexaul education for young people that's why so many go to new mexico for an abortion.

You might not get shot in Lubbock but you will definitely have your car broken into

Much of these issues can be attributed to the fact that Lubbock is a primarily college town with Texas Tech as the main reason the town exists, that and farming. So a very large college aged population, combined with many of that age who are drop outs and being drop out college persons. As for the asthma in the northeast part of town? The wind predominantly blows from the south south east, so whoever lives there is getting everything the city has to offer emissions wise, as well as all the dirt and other crap from all the farming to the west.

Denton's bus system is WAY better than Lubbock. I have used both. Amarillo and Midland are the closest major cities, not Dallas, as well as the cities leading to Dallas from Lubbock that are on the west side of the Metroplex.

The wind here blows most of the pollution away. The weather is wild though.

certainly not as bad as El Paso for a place you never want to live lol

I live in Lubbock and it’s not bad

What about burglary? That is my biggest fear 😢

The big caveate here is you should do a tiny bit more research on that Ogalala aquifer. See, just because it used to go to Nebraska, it longer does. An earth quake fractured it. So. When that aquifer is drained dry because the panhandle culture insists on watering when the wind is blowing at 40mog and when it's snowing out. That combined with the pan evaporation rate, that aquifer will be dry in about 20 years. Oh and because of the underlying redness, yeah there's no recharge. So, no water, no towns. Texans live wasting that water. Especially farmers, although Lubbock are a little more conscientious in that they grow cotton which takes little to no water. But up 100 miles north they're using that Ogalala like it's going out of style. One of the plethora of reasons I left

I would like to share something about South Plains College nursing school program: FORGET IT!! Go to Covenant instead. At Covenant, they help the students, pull you through, and will be there for you. At South Plains, they pride themselves on not being helpful at all. The instructors are obnoxiously rude, they fail you on a clinical at the drop of a hat, they offer no assistance whatsoever, they will not review material, half the class drops, students are driving home crying, and their justification for all this: "we turn out great nurses, not good nurses." FORGET IT. Go to Covenant Nursing School, their program is far superior.

I’ll give you a 14th thru 289….

What did the song say: "Happiness is Lubbock Texas in your rearview mirror..." Also remember, on occasion the wind blows in from the south; there is a huge feed-lot south of Lubbock. So guess what Lubbock smells like (several days of the year)? Also, massive fly (insect) problem in Lubbock for at least half of the year (watch your dinner, you may be sharing it w/a fly). One final thing - it gets COLD in the winter. Per the world almanac, Lubbock is one of the ten cities (w/over 100K population) having the highest elevation (3202 ft above sea level). In contrast, Dallas, Tx is 420 ft. "Did my time" in Lubbock. No argument, it has its good points, however...

A lot of the problems stem from the conservative political lean.

There are any good jobs and if you have someone out here in the Texas panhandle, no one hires you we’re certainly not Dallas, Orlando, Florida, Disney World, or Miami those are the cities with way better jobs because it’s a big city here on Lubbock Texas and the really boring city of Lubbock Texas and a small town not so much so we’re just gonna whoop on over as soon and as quickly as we can

Probably, I have this personal theory that the untested street product can be easily tampered with and leads to mental disorders because of the chemicals added to create more addictive products. Thus adding to the increase in crime. But regulated weed would be tested and void of those chemical components that lead to such issues of mental outbursts and early signs of schizophrenia. As I have witnessed it affect loved ones in such a way. I'd rather it be regulated by a medical evaluation system rather than people get it off of the street. Ultimately the taxes paid to the community and Lubbock County from the businesses that would sell it could help fund school programs and community out reach programs as well as aid in medicinal opportunities for people suffering from certain ailments.

​@krillissues5175 no you're not Denver, you are lubbock. Alcohol everywhere, human trafficking all time high, but the Bible belt will fight against pot and ignore the real issues and say "trust in jesus". Crack and meth are why downtown lubbock is risky to go, not weed. All you do is give the cartels more ways to make money by keeping weed illegal. Dupont and cotton get their way in lubbock, and people here need to realize the hate for weed is that hemp is a very viable competition to cotton.

Lol😂 u sound like a hater People moving here for a reason
