Buddy Holly crosswalk in Texas hometown to be removed following governor's order on road safety

AP News HOUSTON (AP) — Fans of the Buddy Holly crosswalk in his hometown of Lubbock, Texas, with a painted depiction of the rock and roll legend’s iconic glasses, will soon have to say goodbye to it. That'll be a day that will possibly make them cry.
