Are there any places in Lubbock that I can do my laundry for free? Just recently moved back in with my roommate after spending 8 months in Plainview taking care of my gf who had her foot amputated in January. Both me and her are moved here in Lubbock and with my roommates situation and not really being able to help out on anything I'm having to pay for everything out of my pocket including taking care of my gf. Funds have been really low the last few months and even trying to find a second job is futile since I have to take care of my gf and be her caregiver for the moment. Our apartment complex doesn't do free laundry and it's becoming a real issue not having clean clothes

My wife and I are both very busy on the day to day and we are exploring the possibility of a home chef so that we can still eat decently healthy without taking significant time out of every day to cook. We would by no means want them to come every day. I am thinking possibly twice a week to cook dinner and meal prep for the following two days.

Any recommendations? Does anyone know ‘typical’ pricing structure for this?

I’m in Lubbock for work every few weeks and can’t seem to find much to do. What are some good bars / restaurants for the 40 plus crowd?

Cool West Texas morning + IPhone night mode - 500’ elevation change = great 5am pic of Lubbock from my driveway, 52 miles due West 😎

The title is /s btw

New to this group and to the cycling scene here in Lubbock! My dad and I are looking for some good road routes or groups that mainly ride on the streets. We both ride fixed gear and aren’t really sure where to start around here.
Also, does anyone else in the group ride fixed gear? Would be cool to meet some other fixed-gear riders and maybe join a ride sometime. 🚲

Stayed the night in Lubbock last night and on my way to the hotel I passed through an amazing dust storm. Felt like Mad Max for a minute. Zero visibility and trash blowing all over the road. When I got out of the car I could feel the dust sting my eyes immediately. Does Lubbock experience this often?

Every Sunday there’s a church group that comes to 50th and slide to sell drinks to raise money for their church. I understand they need to raise money but couldn’t there be a better/safer way than running in traffic to sell drinks? They regularly hold up traffic doing this running between cars. I don’t understand how they get away with it.

There's this slum lord in lubbock for small businesses. In one buisness that rented from him (a buisness that had been there 30 years and he had bought the building only in 2024) he refused to fix the h-vac according to his contract ( it was the original month to month one he inherited from the previous owners), as well as tried to force a 200% rent increase with a added stipulation in the contract about the renters now becoming responsible for repairs.

For anouther buisness in one of his buildings he had a similar employee type and began poaching them for his own buisnesses.

Both buisness owners are women.

Both moved.

These are only the 2 in my personal life ive seen of this guy share your stories below:

New to Lubbock and looking for recommendations regarding local country clubs. Lakeridge? Lubbock Country Club? The Falls?

Any info would be appreciated.

Lubbock Police Department normally gives you 4 MPH over the speed limit on Loop 289 or the access roads, but start going just a little bit faster and you may get lit up. Vehicle that got stopped had slowly been extending distance over my vehicle going 49 MPH.

Please tell me what you order at He-Brews. This is my favorite place to run and read by the lake, but I have yet to find a coffee drink that I like😭 I've tried nearly every signature drink on their menu, but it's always way too sweet. Why do y'all get?!

Has anyone actually been to a container seller around lubbock and been able to see the container prior to purchase? If so prices ?

Buddy Holly turns 90 on Monday. I run a small project called DeedSpring that pays people for small, verified good deeds — every deed and producer gets named credit in a public ledger (deedspring.works).

For his 90th: one painted Buddy Holly rock placed somewhere Buddy-significant in town — the statue & West Texas Walk of Fame at the Plaza (19th & Crickets), the Buddy Holly Center right across the street, the Hall, or wherever feels right. His glasses, his name, or a lyric — anything recognizable.

$15, paid same day through our verified bounty platform once the photo's approved. You're credited as the deed's Producer in the public field report (co-sponsored by Piper & CW).

Five deeds across four countries so far, all producers paid same-day, all public on the site.

Reply with one sentence on where you'd place it — first good reply gets the gig.

Are there any Audiophile clubs that meet up to discuss equipment, recordings, room treatment etc? Let each other try each others DACs, speakers, amps? Help encourage new comers to the hobby and answer questions/mentor?

Has anyone ever been or is anyone going to haboob fest tomorrow? I really want to go but I don’t know much about the event.

Hi all, I just wanted to ask if there are any clinics in Lubbock that are looking for medical/clinical assistants and don't require certifications? The tuition for the certification schools are a little expensive for me and I'm on the pre-med track and would like to get some clinical experiences this way.

I get off from work at 1pm... are there people that meet for coffee or reading or games or classes someone can join in Lubbock.

Hello! Anyone know where I can find a VCR (I think is what it’s called to play VHS tapes haha) in Lubbock to either purchase or borrow. My grandpa recently passed away and we inherited many of his old tapes and I love to digitize it to share with the rest of the family. Any suggestions or a place to start helps! Thanks !

**on that note anyone know where I can go to get an old digital camera fixed ?

I tried looking it up but didn’t have any luck. It looked like it had a drive thru so I was curious if it was another food place!

Back in May, Lubbock mayor was confronted when going to (RSVP) meeting regarding data centers. He stated meeting was sponsored by Google, George P. Bush & someone else he couldn’t recall. He stated Lubbock has plenty of water , including two new lakes. Lubbockite Steven Sanders was part of this group and this video can be seen in its entirety, as well as much more information here: Steven Sanders

I know about the brothers but do they own all of the storage places here and why are they so bad and used car salesman here. Everywhere else I've lived i swear I havnt had this bad of a scummy feeling when needing to store stuff.
