Lubbock A-J keeps roots downtown in move to new location
The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal has kept its roots firmly planted downtown since its origins more than 126 years ago. As the oldest continually operating business in Lubbock, those beginnings were humble - with the first weekly issue of what was called the Lubbock Avalanche printed May 4, 1900 in the back room of a one-story frame building on the northeast corner of Main Street and Texas Avenue. That's where the paper shared space in co-founder J.J. Dillard’s law office, according to attorney and historian Chuck Lanehart's two-part Caprock Chronicles series that explored the A-J's origins. The paper would eventually move to a larger location at 1211 Texas Ave., where the Mahon Federal Building stands. The A-J re-located again in 1959 to 710 Ave. J. That location served our publication and community well over the last 67 years. It survived the devastating 1970 tornado - despite taking severe damage - and was our home as the A-J covered countless milestones in our community's history. And just like our community, the A-J continues to evolve and adapt to meet the needs of the future.
