Good morning, Lubbock.

Local chef Tahn Rittiluechai sold his restaurant after 19th Street construction hurt his business and now works two to three days a week at Meals On Wheels — preparing meals for residents in need.

A co-worker said his Thai-style surprise for the staff shows his generous spirit.

Tom’s Tree Place, near 34th and Slide, was honored on Saturday by the Texas Historical Commission with the Texas Treasure Historic Business Award—celebrating 75 years of service in beautifying Lubbock.

Alex Scarborough, whose family has run the business since 1950, said the award reflects strong community support and sets a path for future growth.

Forty-five individuals are held at the Lubbock County Detention Center on murder and manslaughter charges—eight of them are new since the last update while others were released or transferred.

Pastor Evan Havens from the Worship Center encouraged families today to blend the fun of Easter egg hunts with moments of faith as children recall joyful memories—he urged everyone to celebrate the day in a way that reflects their own beliefs.

A new Texas BBQ trend called Hot Dog Towers stacks hot dogs in three tiers and is catching on among Lubbock residents.

Many locals plan to try it at backyard cookouts (featuring brats, beef dogs, and pigs-in-a-blanket) as a fun, budget-friendly twist.

Lubbock athletes participated in the first-ever SWAT Challenge last Saturday at the SWAT range, competing against the Lubbock Police SWAT team to raise funds for the Lubbock SWAT Foundation—supporting new equipment and training initiatives.
