Thanks for the tour, I can't say that I'm in love with Lubbock after it, but I can say that I know a lot more about the place than I did 15 minutes ago.
You peaked my curiosity so I went to live.local to get a birds eye view of the place. Now I have a few questions:
What is going on in this vast empty swath between Texas Tech and downtown?:
When I zoomed in even closer, it switched to an older image and a whole neighborhood popped up:
Has this whole area been abandoned in the time between when the two sattelite images were taken?
I switched over to a bird's eye view, and everything was empty again:
Other than what is obviously going to be a Wal-Mart, I have no idea what is going on here:
I hope for Lubbock's sake that it is all some massive re-development and that so much of the city hasn't simply been abandoned.
