LUBBOCK, Texas — Broadway Street bars Chimy’s and Crickets will temporarily close to do deep cleaning due to recent COVID-19 cases near Broadway, they announced on Tuesday.

Chimys will be closed for a deep clean until Thursday due to the recent Covid cases near broadway. Apparently this is a lot to ask but, if you are feeling sick or know you’ve been to an exposure site PLEASE do not go out and put others at risk.
