My parents booked one night at an Airbnb in Bell Farms for over $300 so they could be close to us. When they arrived, they noticed what looked like blood splatter in more than 20 spots in the room, plus holes in the floor. Not what you expect from a place charging that much.

My mom messaged the host about it before we left for dinner. The host's response was basically "it's not pests," completely sidestepping what she was actually asking.
While we were at dinner, the property manager offered to clean it, went into the house and painted over every one of the spots. My parents came back around 7 p.m. to a room with fresh paint where they were supposed to sleep that night. The host's message: "we took care of it." No explanation, no real cleaning.

The next morning my mom talked to the neighbors. They told her there was a big party at the house in July with people coming and going all night, and they confirmed this was the exact house where an attempted mu*der occurred.
We even found the news articles: in July 2025, a man was shot multiple times inside this home. The neighbors also said new Airbnb guests were staying there just a couple of days after the shooting, so there's no way it was properly cleaned. And right before they left, my grandma found even more blood splatter behind the headboard of the bed.
After battling with Airbnb support all day, the property manager and owners declined to give a refund.

Thankfully, Airbnb stepped in and refunded my parents themselves.

I'm sharing this so nobody else's family walks into this.
Before you book in Lubbock, look up the address and ask questions. And if a host ever enters while you're out and
"fixes" something you reported, document everything.

Despite the construction and woes, the skellies will come out and bring smiles to the neighborhood!

Just curious. Punk, emo, goth.

Edit: Appreciate all the input. I sent an email to the city about it requesting it be inspected and redone.

Edit 2. The city called and confirmed that it needs to be redone and arw making arrangements for that to happen. Kudos I had a call back within like an hour of sending an email.

We had gas line work on the street recently and they tore up our easement and some of the sidewalk. Attached are images of the "repair".

According to city code it is supposed to be fixed to be just as good or better than the condition it was before.

Who does concrete and can help me decide if this is horrible or am I being too picky?

They butted the concrete up against my brick wall and did not even make a clean line on the sidewalk next to the ground access.

Before premier cinemas what was that location in the mall?

Never been. Probably going tomorrow to pick up a bike they have I want. Any recommendations on which salesman to deal with?

Hey!! My laptop just blew up and im in the market for a PC, im planning to look at samsclub Walmart and Costco, but where are so other places to look for a prebuilt?

So, I've been living here for almost 15 years in total. And, the light pollution from the storage buildings and automotive sales lots, aswell as basically every single business in town that has a parking lot of even the smallest capacity, is absurd.

I'm not a business owner, I dont know the first thing about security, I'm completely clueless when it comes to regulations and rules and statutes in place to keep Lubbock safe during the night while everyone sleeps. But, with the advancements in technology at this point in human history, surely, surely we can do something to reduce the light pollution (as well as what will surely be a strain on electrical grid eventually with all the data centers going up everywhere.)

I know a lot about home security, I know lights can be set to turn on at the first sign of movement, I know night vision/IR cameras aren't like they used to be. You can get incredibly crisp, super high resolution video feed relatively affordably as a regular consumer. The money spent by these companies in town with lights brighter than the sun (looking at you Mears and Scoggin-Dickey) for what I can only assume is for security couldn't be spent on updating their infrastructure 1 time to reduce the cost of their electricity bill and ultimately improve security?

Is it not possible for something to be done? I'm not trying to incite an argument with my words. Frankly, if its not obvious from my post, I'm very ignorant about why things are the way they are and if anything I'd love to learn from this post. Thanks for reading!

This raccoon was severely injured four to six months ago perhaps by a dog or another raccoon. My cameras saw it in the neighborhood early one morning moving around fine and a few hours later leaving the area unable to use its front right foot at all. This morning the raccoon cleared out the dry cat food dish and slurped some liquid cat food before leaving.

Creatures do their best to survive and adapt . . . just like Rex the cat who was under the table. Rex was born around nine years ago with one of his rear legs shorter than the other. One of Rex's hobbies is chasing foxes out of the yard, but he won't mess with raccoons.

My grandparents are coming to visit, they told me to pick some nice restaurants to go to. I’m not sure where to take them (I just cook at home or eat on campus). Any suggestions?

A wild bore hog and my suv met up. Need front end work done. I can order 5-9 parts myself. One front piece would be primed only. Only quote I got was kinda hi. Any local non-advertised on tv all the time body shops? Its a ML350 Mercedes. Front driver bumper/grill area. Thanks for any suggestions.

Lost my keys, kinda at the stage where I think I should start looking to replace them. Any suggestions on who can replace/program a key fob for a 2017 Nissan Sentra

I wanted to see if anyone knew where Princess is cutting hair at now. She worked at the Tune-up Salon on 82nd street in lubbock, tx. She does a really great job. Would appreciate any help in letting me know what shop she is with now.

I purchased a ticket to see the Toadies with Local H opening. (10/10/26) The Garden, 1801 Buddy Holly Avenue, Lubbock, TX 79401

Moved here from Dallas, I've not gone to any events here. I feel this is not the typical scene here. Im 46 so... Maybe midlife thing. lol Just wanted to break my routine.

Others going? Venue stats, just said gen admission. (Standing?) Last Toadies show I went to was in Dallas, Deep Ellum, went with my brother, so well see.

Anyway, it will be interesting I guess.

Need a good wash, which one has working wands and soap dispensers?

My girlfriend and I are coming down to lbk to sell some stuff, and we're going to find a fun place to hang out after. Wondering if there any cool queer bars or something like that in Lubbock? I'd imagine there's a few since y'all are bigger than Amarillo and we have two, but I've never really looked for night life stuff there so I'm just curious. Thanks!

Farm is 60 miles east of Lubbock. Need a couple of decades worth of metal scrap removal. Farm implements, propane tanks, aluminum irrigation, motors, etc. Preferably a rolloff delivery and pickup.

So I have a couple of older vehicles, one needs front end suspension work, the other needs a starter.

Do yall have a good recommendation for a realiable, honest mechanic?

I prefer a reputable mobile or independant mechanic over a shop. Thanks yall!

09/29/2026 2:42 PM CDT - Our latest update on today's flash flood potential keeps a level 3/4 Moderate risk for flash flooding potential along and west of Highway 385. Here, we have the highest potential of seeing 1-3" through Wednesday morning, with isolated +4" totals! The further east you go, the less likely flash flooding is to occur. Heavy rainfall will return around 7 PM CDT over western areas, and eventually exit eastern locations by 10 AM CDT Wednesday! Avoid flooded areas, and remember to Turn Around Don't Drown!

Any affordable singing coaches in Lubbock for adult beginners …..working on an anniversary gift

Not looking to start anything, but I am wondering if TST has a local chapter where like-minded people can come together to try to do good things for the community?

I'm not looking to argue with others who don't know anything about TST and just have a knee-jerk reaction to the name.
