This city is home to a very nice couple who own a 1954 Kaiser Darrin. My wife and I photographed that car at a charity street festival in the Buddy Holly district (it is really called the DEPOT DISTRICT) downtown. In fact, there were many sharp hot rods and collectible vintage cars there. I've been intending to post the pics but never got around to it. Well, I'll begin now, and I'll start with some pics of that neat old Kaiser Darrin:
Lubbock has auto enthusiasts, like any other city, and they LOVE their vintage cars! My wife and I like old cars too.
Not all of Lubbock's downtown is a wreck. Here is some preserved old signage, and a funky wall. And I must admit that the local economy is doing very well. It's just that Lubbock is growing to the South and Southwest, and other parts of town are simply left behind.
No, Joyland is not what you think. It is an amusement area in McKenzie Park. My wife and I took some pics and I'm posting them here, in my efforts to "document" Lubbock, Texas. I'm foolish enough to continue this effort even though I realize that I live in a police state, that we are all potentially subjects of searches and seizures of property with no warrant, or even confinement for indefinite periods with no hope of speedy trial or legal representation. Even though I am contending that the Constitution of the United States has been reduced to the status of mere toilet paper, I am not ranting. I am merely stating facts. At any rate, here are the pics! JOYLAND! Have fun while you can!
We decided last Saturday to get even more pics! I will show them all to you in the future, but I processed some of them and got some rather moody black and white "artsy" effects. I post them here without further comment:
