Good morning, Lubbock. Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 9th of June.
COMMUNITY NEWS

Lubbock Avalanche-Journal
LIFESTYLE NEWS
- ➤ Local reports reveal that many Lubbock garages are filled with old items that might be damaged by extreme weather — scorching summers, winter cold snaps, and dusty windstorms affecting the stored goods. Homeowners are advised to declutter and consider a climate-controlled storage unit if their cherished items cannot withstand these conditions. KKAM
- ➤ Slaton Bakery has been serving kolaches, cakes, and other baked treats for over 100 years, drawing visitors from Lubbock for a tasty getaway—its town square location adds a special local charm. The bakery continues to thrive as a must-visit spot for anyone looking for a sweet break. KKAM

They show that strong service and great products can build lasting connections in a competitive dining scene. KKAM
REAL ESTATE NEWS
- ➤ An eviction notice in Lubbock does not instantly remove a tenant—landlords must first serve a written notice and then obtain a judge’s ruling—so tenants have time to appeal or prepare to leave, while local resources help those facing housing challenges. If a tenant remains beyond 24 hours after a final ruling, a constable will be called to enforce the eviction. KKAM
