One of these photos is of Lubbock. The other is Beale Street in Memphis. It’s totally an easy mistake to make.
I heard from a reader who approached Mayor Dick Davis about the most recent mailer featuring photos of what Dick’s team says University Park could look like if the alcohol sales propositions pass next week.
