A stroll through a colorful farmers market is good medicine for any soul. One of the most convenient for me is the Lubbock Downtown Farmers Market. There are several in the Lubbock area, but if you don’t have one you frequent often, this one is worth getting to.

Without carving into every melon before purchase, how does one know when a watermelon is just right?

The future Buddy Holly Hall of Performing Arts and Sciences was listed in a Building Design + Construction article about the economic impact of cultural centers on downtown redevelopments.

The trade publication story highlighted projects with similar impacts in Washington, D.C., Houston and Oklahoma City, among others. The Lubbock section of the article suggests the performing arts center, which is set to open in 2020, will encourage downtown development, since more people will be visiting the area and looking for places to eat, shop and live.
