Overton provided the land for development which was bordered by Fourth Street on the north, 19th Street on the south, University Avenue on the west and Avenue Q on the east. The area from Broadway n

Just took the dog for a run on Broadway and saw Texas Tech University kids getting out of Uber and Lyft near the University with open containers. I’d bet many are underage.
