If you’ve lived in Lubbock long enough, you’ve probably met them — the unofficial welcome committee. They don’t wear badges or hand out maps, but you know them the moment they smile at you in the grocery line or wave you into traffic with that two-finger country salute.
The Unofficial Welcome Committee
There’s the gas station clerk who calls you “darlin’” and knows what you’re there for before you even say a word. Then we have the waitress at Tech Cafe who remembers your order and asks about your grandpa. And, what about the old man who waves from his porch in Tech Terrace like he’s running for mayor of kindness? Yep. He’s also part of the committee.
