Welcome To Case's Column
Let me say a big welcome to all of you for joining me here. I'm going to call these blog meetings Case's Column. I wanted to use "Corner", but that was already taken.
Since 2008, it's been a real privilege to come on here and share some of my life with you, and it's a big world where we live.
In these blogs, I'll just speak whatever is on my mind, but we will be playing within the rules here. I may pick a particular topic, point out an event, or shoot the breeze. I'm a little bit of an essayist at times, so I'll just speak what's on my mind, and I might tell a story or two. Or, I might spew out an opinion or three. There will be some serious moments, some tender, some poignant, but there will also be those moments that you'll just bust out laughing. But, hopefully, everything will be in good fun here. And, of course, there's a place below for your comments and thoughts as we go along here. So feel free to join me for the ride -- I sure as heck hope I'm doing this right and not making any mistakes.
Thanks for taking your time in reading Case's Column. Hopefully, you'll enjoy being entertained by it as much as I've enjoyed putting these writings together. And thanks for the time you spend in City-Data.com, where it's great to be alive!
Regards,

Lubbock's Joyland Actually Gets A New Lease On Life
Posted 11-08-2022 at 06:15 PM by case44
For some time, it didn't look like Joyland Amusement Park in Lubbock would have any future at all. Staffing issues and rampant vandalism were cause for concern to the owners of the park, prompting rumors that the place will be closing after the 2022 season.
I just learned that Joyland will have new owners after all. And on top of that, it will be two couples. Their Facebook page revealed that the new couples will keep the park going through 2023 and beyond. I only wish that they could take the park and move it to the south side of U.S. Highway 82 and just create new park space in its old spot. Now, that's not happening, but this writer wishes that they could do something bigger and better with the rides and the space, not to mention possibly adding a ferris wheel which lights up at night.
Well, before I get too far ahead, first things first. Joyland does get to live on. Kiddies on the Caprock need a place to go enjoy themselves. And a Lubbock staple continues on as just that, a staple.
