Lubbock Reviews
Rating 3.71 out of 5 922 reviews
Lubbock is like home to me. Although, Lubbock is starting to get very dangerous now. In Lubbock, we love to celebrate culture, wins, loses, and more. The people here in Lubbock are mainly so kind and so sweet and I love growing up here. The downfall is the crime is starting to get very dangerous. The trafficking and murder issues are starting to get very out of hand and very scary. If you do ever wish to come to Lubbock I would recommend that you come with some protection like pepper spray or any type of defense when you are by yourself. It may seem scary, but I promise it is not just about crime. The hang out areas around town never fail to make your day and bring some of the best memories. The people here also are very welcoming and heart-warming people. Lubbock is a place like no other around here in West Texas!
Lubbock has been the best city the past four years. Growing up I visited all the time because my little sister had doctors appointments at UMC. It was great back then, the people were always kind and went out of their way to make a good impression about the city. You won't find kinder people - even the college students working at "Spanky's". And now as a college student in the same city, I am still as impressed as I was a decade ago. In fact, a large reason for wanting to come to Texas Tech was because of how friendly people were. Furthermore, Lubbock is a foodie paradise, filled with great locally owned restaurants and franchise's. It is a perfect city with diverse groups of people - college students, country and city types, families and much more. It is guaranteed you will find your people in Lubbock. It has amazing history with Buddy Holly, former congressman and more!
Lubbock is known for its vibrant music and arts scene, which includes a range of museums, galleries, and music venues. The Buddy Holly Center, which is dedicated to the life and music of the legendary rock and roll musician Buddy Holly, is one of the city's most popular attractions. Other notable attractions in Lubbock include the National Ranching Heritage Center, the Silent Wings Museum, and the American Wind Power Center.
The city is also home to Texas Tech University, which is a major research university and a hub of cultural and intellectual activity in the region.
In terms of potential areas for improvement, like any city, Lubbock faces its share of challenges, such as traffic congestion, economic disparities, and social issues. However, the city has a strong community spirit, and its residents are working to address these challenges and make Lubbock an even better place to live, work, and visit
