Good morning, Lubbock.

After severe flash floods on July 4 displaced families in central Texas, Lubbock Girl Scout Troop 6432 is asking for donations such as non-perishables and hygiene items at 2567 74th Street and will deliver them to the Salvation Army on July 10—Lubbock Discount Mattress is covering the travel cost.

A recent study by iSeeCars found used car prices in Lubbock jumped 4.1% in the past year with the Toyota 4Runner increasing by $7,415 and the Nissan Murano dropping $3,526.

Limited supply is driving these changes and experts say prices will continue to rise over the next six months — the study analyzed over 2.4 million vehicles.

Texas Tech University President Lawrence Schovanec released a statement offering condolences to victims after flash floods killed nearly 70 people and left 11 campers missing near Camp Mystic (in Kerr County).

Lubbock locals are taking on the TikTok-inspired Alphabet Dating Challenge to explore fun date ideas at real local spots.

For the letter E, couples will enjoy a night at one of the city’s most elegant restaurants—supporting local businesses and spicing up their dates.
