claim to fame

The real-life Peggy Sue is immortalized on the wall of Montgomery Furniture at 19th Street and Crickets Avenue. Although separated by a few yards, she shares a cement brick wall with her ex-husband and Crickets bandmember Jerry Allison. Vintage lawn chairs adorn the hem of her prom dress.

baby "einstein" robin

Mama Robin is fairly comfortable in our backyard and tolerates our presence. Yesterday she chased a squirrel out of "her" tree, even diving and nipping him on the butt as he scurried across the lawn. She allowed photographs of the approximately 5-7 day old chick with the 300mm lens. "Einstein" with his fuzzy head feathers-to-be in only interested in the next regurgitated worm.

parkview motel

In the 1950s the Parkview Motel, located on Highway 62/82, boasted air-conditioned rooms with a restful view of Mackenzie State Park. Visitors could dine in the nearby Cliff House Restaurant, 520 East Broadway. Today, what remains of the Parkview Motel, up the hill and hidden from the roadway, are shells of the stucco rooms, still with arched doorways into the bathrooms -- still air conditioned with decorations by taggers and dopers.

courtyard

The newest boutique winery in Lubbock is McPherson Winery. McPherson retro-fitted the original Coca-Cola Bottling Company at 1615 Texas Avenue in the historic Depot District as a winery, complete with grape crusher, vats, tasting room and event area. One may sip a glass of Sangiovese and while away an afternoon in the courtyard with melodic fountain.
