Enjoyed a nice morning sketch down in Lubbock's Depot District. This area south of downtown Lubbock has developed in recent years into a vibrant "night-spot". Named because of it's proximity to the old train depot(now the Buddy Holly Center), the area encompasses several city blocks of former industrial/agricultural retail stores, offices, warehouses and machine shops. People are now attracted to the district for it's retaurants, clubs, theaters and art galleries. After a hopping friday night of football weekend(Texas Tech vs. Texas A&M) revelry, the only "happening" place this morning is Brown's Barbershop! Brown's is a long time fixture on Buddy Holly Avenue and Richard Brown stubbornly refuses to join the mass retail exodus to southwest Lubbock. Three chairs...no appointments! Just grab a copy of Field and Stream, enjoy some barbershop talk and wait your turn!

This is totally excellent, Tim!! It's wonderful to see you, and great looking over your shoulder! These old barber shops are getting scarce "as hen's teeth," as the saying goes, and this one holds such charm!
