Thanks for the info...although I've been in Texas about 20 times, the fine points of geography are not in my wheelhouse.

As my grandmother used to say, "Lubbock is flat as a flitter."

It is 120 miles south of Amarillo.

I lived there for about 20 years.

Well, It has changed a great deal in the last ten years.

When did you last live in The Hub City?

"Nope, Arlen."

The series is the brainchild of Beavis and Butt-Head creator Mike Judge, who is a former resident of Garland.

"Arlen" is a ficticious city in Texas, thus my stretch to get to "gArlend".

About Arlen
The location of the fictional town (Arlen) relative to real-life locations is never explicitly stated within the show. References to Madero, Houston, and Wichita Falls, and Hank's preference for Dallas-based sports teams implies that Arlen lies within the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, the Hills rely on Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport for their airplane trips, and Hank's hatred over Houston which is common among Dallas citizens. Garland, Texas, Mike Judge's hometown, also lies near Dallas/Fort Worth. But in a Thanksgiving episode, Hank states that it will take them four hours to get to the DFW Intl. Airport. In several episodes, Hank's mail shows an address in the 78104 and 78701 ZIP Codes, the postal numbers for Beeville, Texas, and Austin, Texas, respectively. Also, the telephone number for Strickland Propane (painted on the truck) is in the 409 area code, placing it in southeast Texas. Hank and Peggy have made day trips into Mexico when the peso was devalued, indicating a short distance from the national border. Kahn, Hank's Laotian neighbor, commutes into Houston, which is a three-hour drive from Arlen.

In the episode "Hank and the Great Glass Elevator", Bill tells Ann Richards that Rainey Street is only a few miles from Interstate 35.

Arlen, one of George Bush's "Communities of Excellence", is a city of 15,900. It was originally founded as "Harlottown", later shortened to "Harlen", by settlers during the westward migrations of the 1800s. The town was then known for its large population of prostitutes. City leaders renamed the town to its current name as a way to turn around the city's image as a haven of prostitution.

And, from the horizon visible in that photograph, the phrase "Ski Lubbock!" was born.

Where is this "Lubbock"?

C'mon, greenhorn, just north of Post, west of Matador, and always in my rear view mirror.
