Out on 19th Steet, going way west past Loop 289, you arrive in a recently annexed part of Lubbock which used to be the independent community of Carlisle. It mostly catered to the Reese AFB crowd. Reese has been closed for years. You can still find some old barracks in Carlisle. It is in somewhat better shape than it was, prior to annexation. But not MUCH better.
We got here from the old water park by taking Upland north from 82nd Street. We ate lunch at a tiny Filipino restaurant. Lots of atmosphere in a small space. "Linda's" I think it was called. It is worth a visit. My wife and I like to find alternatives to corporate/franchise food. There was one of those across the street on 19th. Don't go there. Go to Linda's. Experience something different. Pancit is probably your best bet, as an introduction to this kind of cuisine.
There was once a dance hall out in this part of town. I went there a lot before I got married and my wife and I went there once or twice, but it is out of business. Dancing seems to be not very popular anymore, especially ballroom and country. Is that a generational thing?
