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.....;^)

What are you 110 years old? lol........I was at Tech in the late 70's and it was very integrated by then.......

Let me try again...

I am 63. I started at Tech in 1960. I went horseback riding at a place on 50th st.

My father was offered the land at 34th and University (it was College then) for $100 and thought it was too much money. Big mistake!

We went to the ceremony when they completed the TV towers out around 82nd, and they were out in the country with not a house in sight.

Reese AFB was home to B25 bombers.

The Lubbock Airport was used for training glider pilots and the terminal was tiny.

Ah, well, I guess old age is making me nostalgic.
