What do you think? Have you ever visited Metro Tower? It's one of the only structures to withstand the tornado that smashed through downtown Lubbock in 1970. It was recently revamped and is now full of luxury apartments with incredible views.

If you're cruising around downtown Lubbock, make a stop at Colbert's General Store on the bottom floor and ask Chuck to take you up top to check out the view. It's breathtaking and it makes this dusty town look like a completely different city.
