Shallowater

Shallowater is the kind of place where everyone knows whose truck is whose, and the Mustangs Friday-night score is acceptable small talk through Tuesday. Northwest of Lubbock, fifteen minutes up Clovis Highway, it is farms, a school district that punches above its weight, and a population small enough that the dating pool is less a pool than a shared rain barrel. Singles here are typically homegrown, churched, and patient, or they are pass-through agriculture and wind-farm workers who keep an apartment in Lubbock. Romance logistics default to driving into the city. Shallowater itself offers a Allsup's and intentions.
