Texas Tech University | Lubbock, TX

May 20, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

One of Lubbock’s trademarks is its flat land. Whenever it rains, flash flooding is a problem due to poor drainage (again, a product of extremely flat land). If you were unfortunate enough to be caught walking during a shower, expect to get soaked, even with an umbrella. After a few minutes it will feel like you are walking through inches of water. These pictures were taken on a rainy day, thus the fond memories of Lubbock rain.

West Texas Views | Levelland, TX

May 10, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

Levelland is about forty minutes away from Lubbock, TX. This is a nice drive if you want to get out of town for a while (assuming you live in Lubbock). Plenty of fields and sky to admire on the way, and a beautiful park and town square to enjoy when you arrive.

Ghost Town | Fluvanna, TX

May 7, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

I’m a fan of detours on road trips, however, this detour was short lived. I felt uneasy immediately upon entering the town. I’m sure this is due to watching too many “The Hills Have Eyes” movies. Fluvanna is about an hour and a half away from Lubbock, TX. It seems this area was deserted around the 1940’s, after railways were taken over by highways. As far as I can tell, it is still a ghost town.

Downtown | Boise, ID

May 3, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

While I lived in Boise, the state capitol building seemed to be under constant construction. It may have since been fully renovated. Another impressive aspect was the town’s cleanliness (no sarcasm implied; it was unusually clean). I have yet to visit a comparable city, except perhaps for Des Moines, IA. Finally, if you are ever in the neighborhood, you must visit the Egyptian Theater. It was established in 1927, and has been beautifully maintained. I’ll never forget watching “It’s a […]

The Man Who Fell to Earth | Artesia, NM

April 22, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

If you are a David Bowie fan, check out the movie “The Man Who Fell to Earth.” It was filmed in Artesia and surrounding areas. The town isn’t very large, but it has tons of character and many historical elements.
