Local LBK

Local LBK
By: Taylor McAlpine

Since Local LBK’s inception, Visit Lubbock has inspired the work we do. How cool is it that our city has a dedicated organization to show how great our community is? Experiencing Lubbock as explorers have us searching for something new every day. 

I can’t imagine how many inspiring stories and local heroes have been given a platform to share their own experiences in the 806. A few of these conversations include talking with an entrepreneur about how they started their business from a dream, interviewing a musician that performs in boutique theaters and venues while touring throughout the southwest, documenting the creation of a masterpiece in the middle of Lubbock’s Art District or talking shop with a chef who has prepared countless meals from scratch. Each form of art created in the “Hub City” allows guests to appreciate our culture and make memories that will be remembered for a lifetime. It’s stories like these that motivated our creation of Local LBK. 

If you are reading this blog it probably means you’re a fan of Lubbock and want to experience everything we have to offer. Visit Lubbock is a great resource to feel like a tourist in your own town, or feel like a local as a visitor, by keeping up with events and other fun happenings. The “Hub City” and surrounding areas are full of amazing people, places, and passions that I know anyone can find to enjoy. 

That is why we have partnered with Visit Lubbock to help not just tourists but our fellow Lubbockites experience Lubbock while saving money and supporting our community!

“Tell me, Taylor, how does that work?” Well, thank you kind blog reader for asking! We have just launched the Local LBK app! The Local LBK app is a community resource to keep up with events and features a killer directory of 80+ local and independent organizations that are working together to make Lubbock the unique and diverse city it truly is!
