...is gaining weight. Whether it's juicin' or swallowing fistfulls of HGH, 'getting big' is enormous fun for Lincolnites, old and new! The Over 30 Crowd prefer to bulk up by dining out early and often (see the section on Restaurants).

Seeing RED!

Do you bleed Husker Red?

Most of Lincoln, and the entire state of Nebraska does. So, if you're in town on a football game day (most Saturdays in the fall) be prepared to see red red red.

Also, be prepared for a mass of people from all over the state to decend upon Lincoln. Shopping malls get full, downtown is impossible to drive through, and the I-180 into town is choked up before and after the game.

If you're in a hurry, don't attempt to drive anywhere in a 250 mile radius. Not only are the drivers infernally slow, they have this quaint local custom of coming to a near stop, then swinging out wide before making a right turn.

...Talk about driving the out-of-towners crazy!!

Wave to other drivers with one finger, but I mean by lifting your INDEX FINGER off the steering wheel while keeping the rest on the steering wheel. It's the way to be friendly in Nebraska!

Don't get in the way of Husker pride. They live for their team so be careful if you are not there to support the 'Big Red.'
