I visited the Lubbock Lake Landmark because they have a couple of hiking trails, a 4 mile and a 1…read moremile. Somehow when I heard park I expected trees. But this is like a dry lakebed that is also an archaeological site and they have a neat little museum. It has fossils, indian artifacts, and displays about the past history of the area. The museum is geared more towards middle school aged children, had some neat exhibits of things they found in the landmark, wasn't all that big. There are some large bronze statues of ice age animals outside the museum that are cool. And it's free to get in too. There is a handicapped-accessible trail behind the museum that is like a slightly raised boardwalk that I assume would showcase digs, but there weren't any going on. I went in early January though and they said Spring and Summer are the best times for digs. The long trail is not handicapped-accesible, it is gravel and quite long and meandering. It went by a prairie dog burrow, but I didn't see any. Possibly because some other people aead of us were hiking with several dogs. Dogs are not allowed there according to the parking lot sign. There are some picnic areas near the museum that are nice, and I spotted about 10 different bird species including 3 different types of raptors and some coyote tracks. It would probably be nicer to go here in the spring because I saw remains of many different flowering plants and it would be a more attractive walk then.

This post office closes at noon, daily. Therefore, you order a package that gets shipped to Lubbock…read moreand then just sits At the post office for 3-4 days, Or until they have some free time to actually sort packages for delivery. My friend and I ordered a package on Wednesday, and received the confirmation email that night that our items had shipped. She received her package Saturday, and mine has not had any activity since Sunday evening. Just very frustrating. I don't understand how this post office is allowed to operate under these conditions, or I believe we should be allowed a pick up option. I do not like waiting for items that I should already have in my possession.

If you're a Tech student, the Library is by far one of the best places to study…read more They have at least 3 floors, and a basement, all which have computers available to you. On the main floor theres a help desk where the workers are very knowledgable and are always willing to help you or direct you where you need to go. If you're not comfortable studying or being around people, they have study rooms available that you can book online through the TTU website. The parking lot is HUGE so unless it's finals time, you'll always find a spot. There's a little cafe to the right when you first walk in, but it is only open during certain hours. It has a lot of different things to choose from. The library also offers free wifi and WEPA printing.

Amazing set of stacks, a 3D Design lab with gaming software, and the whole downstairs (main floor) has been redone since I came in 2008 with projection screens and collaborative pods for group work. It is a dream come true for group projects! Really great use of its funding. Thanks Mike Leach! And others. Illiad always got my article requests quickly and correctly. Often has in-progress work presentations, like poster sessions, for undergraduate and graduate research. Lots of tables for working, little cubbies for privacy, and good wooden chairs that you can sit in for hours without getting sore! :) Love this library and I probably spent 50% of my 5 years of PhD work in its halls.

We did however have issues with the placement of benches in the museum. When we drank our coffee we sat facing a window that had a huge rectangle in our line of sight. Another bench had a plaque on it to show maybe dedicated or donated to the museum, was in a dimly lit hallway. One final bench, was placed too closely to art. You can sit and relax on it and hit your head on fine art. Other than the coffee and the misplaced benches, this museum is delightful. The updates they've done are beautiful and I love coming to see the new exhibits.
