Was it Karen and Cody? Karen's probably late 40's; Cody is 20-something. Another lady, I believe it might be Karen's mother, is also at the downtown shop, and she's not the "bubbliest" person you'll meet. But Karen, although quiet, is usually a really nice person. John, Karen's brother, runs the mall store -- he's a nice person also. I'm sorry to hear that happened!
Have you thought about which places you'd usually be close to? The cigar-bar-turned-bar I told you about is in the Depot District. We frequent Fox & Hound, but they carry their own cigars ($$$!). You'd want to be in a place where you'd get the best exposure, and the Depot District is probably your best bet. It's the closest thing we have to a restaurant/club district where you'd be exposed to more than one establishment at any one time. Otherwise, you'd find yourself next to only one or two restaurants at a time. When you come back to town, let me know and we'll get together. My friends and I have a pretty good feel for what's up here in Lubbock. My e-mail:
