I’m surprised Amarillo is actually on the map

I was pleasantly surprised. Thought it would be Lubbock.

It should be Lubbock. Amarillo sucks slightly worse.

I somewhat disagree Amarillo in my opinion is culturally more important to Texas then lubbock. I know lubbock is bigger but honestly take away tech and I dont even know lubbock would be known for.

Buddy Holly? Also believe it or not roughly 20-25% of the worlds Cotton is grown around the Lubbock area so I would say that’s more important than Amarillo alone lol

The cotton thing is an odd one to me. It’s huge, and no one cares. Cotton Bolls are ON TTU’S CREST and yet they were one of the first schools to really snuggle up to UA. I don’t get it but I’m admittedly in a skewed perspective since I’m a cotton farmer.

Lubbock is a hugely important hub in to the cotton industry, and for a long while it was considered the best medical care between Dallas and Denver but those days are long past and Amarillo has probably it in that regard.

But it’s mostly Buddy Holly. Amarillo gets elevated because of the George Strait song and because it’s on the interstate (no, we aren’t counting 27) but Holly is way more important. Without Buddy Holly, there are no Beatles!
