Lubbock is not so bad. It is a nice place to raise a family. It's not too big, but not too small. The population is right around 200,000. Texas Tech University is here so there is some sports that you could go see. The winters are mild, but the summers get very hot. This year we have had pretty good rainfall though. The main problem I have with Lubbock is that there is not that much to do. There's not much culture. I lived in Colorado before. See, in Colorado, the summers aren't so hot, so you can go hiking, biking, camping, pretty much whatever you want to do outdoors. In Lubbock it's just too hot to be outside during the summer. Dallas is too far away to just get away for the weekend. Also, since this is Texas, you would think that everyone is so nice and friendly, but they're not. I'm not sure why. When I went to Santa Barbara for a week of vacation everyone out there was so much nicer than people here. It's hard to make friends when you're an adult woman with a family. Trying to find ideas of somewhere to move with my family. Somewhere with nice weather and things to do outdoors, good schools, and low crime.
