tornado site

The Lubbock Memorial Civic Center, dedicated in 1976, was built on land in the path of the destructive 1970 tornado. The fountain at the Avenue Q entrance to the Civic Center listed those who lost their lives in the disaster. What tornado bond money built, the wrecking ball destroys. The fountain and the site of the adjacent West Texas Walk of Fame honoring regional musicians and the Buddy Holly pedestral will be demolished in the name of progress. Buddy and the plaques removed from the area will be relocated to the Buddy and Maria Elena Holly Plaza.
