The Arcane Texas Fact of the Day: It was 54 years ago today, on March 9, 1972, that citizens of Lubbock voted to allow the sale of beer and liquor by the drink at establishments within the city limits, putting an end to its claim as the largest dry city in the United States. However, with bottled alcoholic beverages not available within the city limits, "The Strip" developed at the edge of town in the years following. One reader told me that she loved going to The Strip with her dad when she was a young girl because it was like a "mini Las Vegas, with all the lights they had. It was kind of exciting for a youngster in Lubbock." Looking at this photo, which is courtesy the @LAJ_Photo , I can see that. Any of y'all have any memories?

JUST IN: Legendary football coach Lou Holtz has passed away at the age of 89.
Holtz led Notre Dame to an undefeated season and national championship in 1988. He was put in hospice care earlier this year.
“Among his many accomplishments, we will remember him above all as a teacher, leader and mentor who brought out the very best in his players, on and off the field, earning their respect and admiration for a lifetime…” University of Notre Dame President Rev. Robert A. Dowd said.
“Whenever Notre Dame called to ask for his help, Lou answered with his characteristic generosity, and he will be sorely missed.”
“The prayers of the entire Notre Dame community are with his family and many friends in this time of sorrow. May he rest in the peace and love of Christ.”

Texans, I’m Doc Pete Chambers.
I’m not a career politician – I’m a Green Beret, a warrior diplomat, and a physician who’s seen what bad government does to real people.
Greg Abbott is running a $100‑million campaign funded by lobbyists and corporate insiders. I’m running a lean, people‑powered campaign funded by Texans who are tired of paying for all that influence.
If a man can’t run his own campaign on a responsible budget, why would you trust him with a $300‑billion state budget?
I will fight to abolish property taxes, truly secure our border, protect our energy and water, and end corporate control of Austin.
More importantly, in these exigent times, I will swiftly round up the bad actors who are in this State after failed federal and state border policies.
If you want more of the same, you already know who to vote for.
If you want a governor who pinches pennies like you do at the kitchen table,
I’m Doc Pete Chambers, and I’m asking for your vote.
