27 marzo Srpingtime In The LBKDespite the tornadoes and dust storms, spring in Lubbock can be gorgeous. At least until the wind starts blowing. 12 marzo Oops...It Happened AgainAnother baby was stolen from a Lubbock hospital this weekend and, thankfully, returned to its family. Is there some reason that Lubbock hospitals can't seem to keep babies from being kidnapped? I wonder if people all over the nation are starting to view Lubbock as the place where babies are stolen?
I now have to add another national news story to my list:
Recap of Lubbock in the national news stories I can recall in my lifetime:
1970--Lubbock devastated by tornado
1981--Lubbockite and Tech-ex John Hinckley, Jr. attempts to assassinate president
1988--Sighting of the Virgin Mary in Lubbock
1992--Ralph Erdmann--discredited pathologist who faked autopsies--story on 60 Minutes
1993--Marsha Sharp's Lady Raiders win national title
1998--Hampton University incident--Lubbock sued and accused of racism; case later dropped
2001--Coach Bob Knight comes to Texas Tech

2007--Chippendales dancers spend night in jail in America's most conservative city, Lubbock, Texas.

It would be great to add a good one...like "Lubbock doctor finds cure for cancer" or "Lubbock joins rest of civilized world, becomes wet" or "Lubbock wind engineer discovers method to prevent dust storms" or "McDougal family run out of Lubbock." |
