slide arenaMost Lubbock residents think Slide Road goes to the mall, but Slide Road (Farm-to-Market 1730) actually goes to the community of Slide. Settled in 1910 in south Lubbock County where Slide and 210th Street would be, Slide had a post office and several businesses; today's population is maybe 40. Along the way is the defunct Slide Arena, which is now just a cowpen. The cattle are unperturbed by the toadstool-shaped sunshades which offered protection to the spectators at by-gone ropings.
