Yeah I was born in Lubbock, both of my parents graduated from Levelland HIgh School, my Grand parents lived in Littlefield and all of my relatives are buried in Levelland cemetery.OldCurlyWolf wrote:Lubbock is definitely NOT small town Oklahoma.

It will be a huge culture change for you if you end up in Lubbock County, but they are some of the best folks around.
Keep us updated.
As long as Lubbock isn't the size of Houston and preferably more rural, I think I'll/we'll adjust nicely. I grew up in a small town in Oklahoma and living in San Diego and now Houston have both been a culture shock. Ready to get back to small town life.
Lubbock County is about 30 miles Square (900 Square miles)
City of Lubbock is about 61+/- Square miles.
More of Lubbock County is rural or small town than is urban.
The wind is "FUN" and the dust storms are nasty. Tornado Alley.
I spent most of my growing up years in West Texas, The Texas Panhandle, SW Kansas, NW Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Panhandle.
I lived in Amarillo 5 times between '54 and '96.
A man Asked me once what it was like where I grew up.
I told him you had three choices: You get tough, you leave or you die. I told him I was grown before I left. Nuff Said.
Never leave more than one window down or one door open at a time unless you want to empty the interior of your vehicle.
We moved to the DFW area when I was very young so I don't remember much about living there, but I visited at least 4-5 year as a child, and then traveled that area as a sales rep for many years. I always liked it, when the rain started during the dust storms, Nothing like having an inch of mud all over everything.
