Good morning, Lubbock.

Lubbock's 74th Annual Pancake Breakfast takes place today at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center, offering endless pancakes, sausage, and live music — with a 'Stacked With Love' theme.

Families can enjoy a kid-friendly zone featuring mascots, a bounce house, and cotton candy at this beloved event.

Residents in Lubbock joined a playful poetry challenge that turned the classic 'Roses are red' into honest, humorous reflections on love and life.

The event showcased the city’s creative spirit and unique take on romance.

On Monday, Feb. 16, a southbound lane closure on Quaker Avenue (between 4th and 18th Street) will occur for utility work; city officials advise motorists to take alternate routes and allow extra travel time, with work scheduled to finish by March 2.

Locals in Lubbock praise top steakhouses like Ponto Gaucho + Double Nickel for offers from interactive Brazilian churrasco experiences to upscale cuts, with other favorites including Las Brisas, Claraboya, and Triple J Chophouse Brew Co adding unique Texan flair to the city’s vibrant dining scene.

Today's Lubbock events bring local flair with a pancake breakfast, a comedy show by Rodney Carrington, and the Lady Raiders game featuring Coach Krista Gerlich's 100th win; the game kicks off at 2:30 p.m on ESPN+.
