The up-and-coming entertainment district in Lubbock is known as the Depot District. Home to such venues and restaurants as Cactus Theater, the Buddy Holly Center, Blue Light, and Heaven, among others, it is the place to be when the sun goes down. The residents of Lubbock are making a concerted effort to developing the Depot District, so chances are it will become even livelier and filled with more fun venues in the years to come.
While on the Lubbock Walk of Fame, make time to see this bronze statue depicting music legend Buddy Holly strumming his guitar and marvel at the effect his short career had on the history of music. Around the base of the statue is the Walk of Fame which has plaques to remember all the great musicians from western Texas - there are a lot ! The statue was made by the sculptor Grant Speed and weighs over a ton, which helps to show the true impact this man had on American music.
