Looking at the paper from 1908 it was clear Plainview was growing quite a bit.<\/p>\n
I mentioned The O.K. Ranch, but one thing I left out was that two entrepreneurs, Shafer and Harris, would turn a place called Bain Hall into a theater. The only question is, where was Bain Hall?<\/p>\n
This is an issue that often comes up whenever you\u2019re looking through old papers, documents, etc. I\u2019m sure everyone in Plainview knew where Bain Hall was in 1908, and O.K. Stables, for that matter. However, it\u2019s no longer 1908, it\u2019s 2026 and I have no clue where these places were because it\u2019s never explicitly said. I even managed to find a map<\/a> from 1910 and even that didn\u2019t have Bain Hall listed anywhere. Instead, the was a different theater that apparently opened within those two years!<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t just a problem for old papers. If you look at a story that mentions Lubbock, most likely it says something along the lines of \u201cIn Lubbock\u2026\u201d not \u201cIn Lubbock, located in Lubbock county X miles away from the Texas-New Mexico boarder in the United States of America\u2026\u201d because there\u2019s no point in writing all of that\u2026 at the moment.<\/p>\n In 3,000 years if Lubbock isn\u2019t around anymore, someone who reads that story is going to be really confused about where it was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Looking at the paper from 1908 it was clear Plainview was growing quite a bit.
