LUFKIN — Fifth-generation Lufkinite Mark Hicks is trying to buy the old Angelina Hotel for his video business. According to KETK and the Lufkin Daily News, the downtown hotel was the heart of much local activity from the 1920s to the 1970s. Hicks says there’s so much history in the building it would be a travesty to tear it down. Hicks says downtown Lufkin is in the midst of a sort of renaissance right now, and this piece of the city’s history needs to be preserved.
