Lubbock, It’s Time to Stop Scrolling and Start Strolling

Lubbock, It’s Time to Stop Scrolling and Start Strolling

Dylan Beckwith is launching Walk Lubbock, a casual walking group meant to get people off their phones and meeting neighbors face to face. The first walk kicks off Saturday, September 26th at 9:30 am at Tech Terrace Park.

The first walk kicks off Saturday, September 26th at 9:30 am at Tech Terrace Park. Beckwith plans to keep the group meeting every Saturday morning while the weather stays cool, rotating through different spots around town each week. It is a low pressure setup, no gym membership or bar scene required, just a walk and a chance to talk to somebody new.

For a city where making friends as an adult can feel harder than it should, this fills a real gap. Bars and watch parties are easy to find in Lubbock. Outdoor excuses to just show up and meet people are not. Tech Terrace Park gives the first walk an easy, central starting point, and rotating locations means different neighborhoods get their turn hosting.

For regular folks in Lubbock, this means a free, no commitment way to get some movement in and maybe leave with a new contact in your phone that isn't a delivery app notification. Anyone tired of the same routine of scrolling on the couch has an actual reason to walk out the door on Saturday mornings now.

Turns out the cure for Lubbock's group chat fatigue might just be a 9:30 am start time and a decent pair of sneakers.
