Lubbock has several buildings on the National Register of Historic Places.¹ The Cactus Theatre was built in 1938 as the area's first neighborhood movie theatre. Increasing competition caused the business to close in the 1950's. The site was purchased in 1993 and refurbished. Today it is home to many live performances and movies. The Carlock Building is in the art deco style and opened as a cotton exchange. The owners have continuously occupied it since that time. Finished in 1908, The Tubbs-Carlisle House is an excellent example of the Queen Anne Style. Descendants have lived in the house for over 100 years. Another lovely house in the city is the Warren and Myrta Bacon House. Added to the register in 1982, this Neo-Classical structure was constructed in 1916. Mr. Bacon was a civic leader and successful businessman. The house is currently owned by the Episcopal Diocese of Northwest Texas.

Marriage and Couples Mental Health in Lubbock

Children today face many challenges to their emotional and mental well-being. Anger issues, in particular, can be extremely destructive if they are not addressed appropriately. The Family Guidance and Outreach Center of Lubbock offers several free programs for area youth that teach anger management skills. The Targeting Teen group helps participants identify triggers that cause them to be upset and frustrated, then provides them with strategies to calm down and think before they act. For younger children, consider the Anger Wranglers and the Dino-Might Tykes groups. Both groups include theme-based instruction that teaches kids how to identify their emotions and how to control their anger in a positive way. For further details, call 806-747-5577.²
