They've been interviewing the survivors that came to Lubbock, and they love it.

Here's hoping that most of the survivors manage to start new, better lives for themselves and their families.

In an earlier report on the same station, a survivor said "this place is better than where we were before Katrina" or something like that...referring to the town and the people.

Lubbock has changed dramatically.
When I was young there, you seldom saw a black person outside of east Lubbock unless they were working, usually at some manual labor type of job.
It was an extremely segregated city. I never had a black person in school until my senior year in high school.
I was at Texas Tech the first or second year they admitted blacks.
I am glad to see the changes and the acceptance of the evacuees.
This was not to condemn the town, rather it was to compliment the good folks of Lubbock for the positive changes there.

I just love The General. I especially admire his disdain for the media.

Lubbock is a nice place. I think they will have to get used to the dryness after NO, but the people are really nice. I do miss West Texas!

He's not for everyone, but I just love him. He's found "his People" in Lubbock. He must have been born here & switched at birth or something.

There was an OLD freeper yesterday who said the last time he lived in Lubbock, 50th Street was the southern-most street. LOL. I can't remember a time when 50th Street wasn't right in the middle of the Hubaroo.

Well I hate to admit but when I was there I don't know if 82nd street was more than a 2 lane country road, if that.......... going past the Mall was almost like leaving town then.....;^)
