Ever feel like you’re being watched in Lubbock? Like the city itself seems to be making prolonged eye contact or something? You aren’t crazy, and it’s NOT just paranoia. The truth is that you’re a hot and sexy mama (or papa) and some things around here are deeply, obsessively into you. Who can blame them?

The Potholes

These guys seem to have a way of “pulling you back in,” don’t they? Lubbock potholes know where you’re driving, the speed you’re going, and the sound your suspension makes in the middle of the night when it’s screaming their name. It may be toxic, but it’s love, baby.

The sun is an overly intense romantic. It loves you so dearly that it wants to spend time with you every single day. It’s more than just hot in your car; it’s actually the sun trying its best to crawl through your windshield to hold you.

“We gotta stage 4 clinger!”  The wind isn’t just blowing your hair, it’s wearing your favorite hoodie, stealing important receipts, and brushing up against you like a jealous ex-boyfriend who “just wants to see how you’re doing.”

These guys show up rather dramatically. They roll across your path like a sign from the universe, and then disappear just as quickly. As soon as you think it actually meant something, they’re already halfway to Amarillo, hitting up the liquor store with a girl they swear is their cousin.

Lubbock is much more in love with YOU than you realize. Think about it. It never lets anyone leave. You swear up and down you’re getting out of here and grabbing a cool condo in Austin, when suddenly, you’re at Jake’s Backroom on your 5th shot of rumple, wondering what the hell happened.
