Author Topic: Going to Lubbock TX for a few days William T. Parr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 823 From: Cedar Park, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 05-09-2007 04:37 PM                     My job is getting me the opprotunity to travel to Lubbock with in the next month. Any one there got any suggestions on some decent resterauants to eat at? Anyone be able to get me in touch with Paul Majors while I am there?  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 05-10-2007 08:26 PM                     William, Paul may still be living near me with his wife Andi and their children. I haven't seen him in over a year, though one of my co-workers literally ran into him in his mail route. I'm afraid to say this, but I tend to go to the chain restaurants. Harrigans on 50th street near Memphis is good... If Andi is a different spelling for "Ann", then Paul is in the local at&t phone book, and has moved from where I thought he lived...likely a bigger house (because of the KIDS). I hope this helps...  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

How's the progress coming along with the Marsha Sharp Freeway project? Is everything in front of Texas Tech still are torn to hell? I'm kind of wondering about that since I could be making a drive out that way in the next day or two. One of my uncles is undergoing triple bypass surgery at a hospital in Lubbock.  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 05-11-2007 05:27 PM                     Bobby, Marsha Sharp is still "under construction" (and tore up all to hell.) Which hospital is your uncle in? UMC? Covenant? The Heart Hospital? My mom was in UMC a couple of months ago, and the West Loop flyover at Marsha Sharp was visible from her hospital room in 5 West. She now resides in Lakeside Rehabilitation, which is near the Marsha Sharp construction at Quaker Avenue. My access to Slide Road is cut off from 34th Street as there is a huge hole dug there because of the construction. If he's in the Heart Hospital, this is located on North Loop 289 west of Quaker Avenue, and is relatively free of road construction...as of today. (One of my employees arrived late yesterday because Erskine Avenue was closed without advance notice, but he lives just a block West of Indiana.) Both UMC and Covenant are knee-deep in Marsha Sharp, and the rains we had have slowed construction and made most of their workable surface muddy. Until this year, we were in a drought, and the freeway is actually ahead of schedule. Be hyper-vigilant in your defensive driving skills. My fellow citizens are friendly, but they can't drive.  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

I was at that thetare from 91 to 96. Paul left there to move back to Lubbock, that was around '95 or so. About the same time My Manager John Devine moved to the Dallas area with his new wife.Paul had original moved to Corpus with Mr. Devine when he took over the Padre Staple from the UA South Plains Cinema 4.  |  IP: Logged
