THE NORTHSIDE CAFE: PIES, LOTS OF PIES
Rich62 Says: A nice corner cafe with parking in the back, also an entrance in the back as well as the front.You can watch the traffic outside with large windows on two sides. Well of course, its the pie! I'm going to guesstimate that there were at least 30 types of homemade pies on the...

The Engine House Cafe: Dine in a 1900 Firehouse:
Rich62 Says: This is a wonderful mom-and-pop restaurant in the Havelock section of Lincoln, Nebraska. The photos will show you the atmosphere but they don't quite convey how good the food is...and it is really good! Friends of ours took us there for our initial visit in September of...

The Zoo Bar: Zoo Bar - 35 years of Live Blues etc. Music
pamjames Says: Gotta love the Blues! Lincoln has a treasure, albeit a grubby one, in the Zoo Bar at 14th street between O and P Streets. Blues artists from all over the world get booked here, and we even made "The Blues for Dummies" Book! Sometimes classic Blues stars pop in for a good...
WC's Downtown: Wednesdays Rock!
MC_Mimiow Says: Celebrate the middle of the week at WC's on Wednesdays, especially if you're looking for great drink specials! They offer $3 domestic pitchers and $4 import pitchers (my favorite being Boulevard Wheat with lime!). At WC's you can sit by yourself and write (okay, maybe only I...

fraise Says: ...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).
JennJenn Says: 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....
THE DANGER IS LONG GONE, BUT.......
Rich62 Says: YOU MIGHT PASS THIS ORDINARY LOOKING GAS STATION on the north side of Cornhusker road in Lincoln, and probably wouldn't give it a second thought.But in 1957, the second biggest mass murder spree in American history began right here. Charlie Starkweather killed the young...
cari888 Says: I get off work at midnight and have been walking and biking home, a distance of about a mile, for almost 40 years and the only scare I ever got was from a skunk. And I live in one of the "hoods", near the University, as the other write called it.Cari

Listen to Community Radio KZUM 89.3fm
pamjames Says: You cannot predict what will be on... Keep an open mind and if you don't like it come back in a couple hours. Volunteers program everything from bizarro to the Blues, and ballroom dance music to the most out there alternative you can think of. Crooners, polka, ethnic shows...
Rich62 Says: University of Nebraska basketball is played in the Bob Devaney Sports Center on campus. A nice facility but not a whole lot of parking available in the area. We suggest arriving about two hours early to get a decent parking place, then you can stroll around before the game...
Rich62 Says: The picture says it all. There is nothing in the sports world like a Husker football game with 85,000 dressed in red. Tailgating around the stadium before and after the game is lots of fun too.Attached are photos of some Husker athletic facilities.
fraise Says: ...by strolling around the area just south of the State Capitol on a warm summer's evening. There are lovely old homes and lots of big trees where you can hear the locusts sing. Breathe deeply and inhale the smell of grass that's freshly cut. It's very relaxing and retro (in...

My favorite bits of Lincoln are nearly all within only a couple blocks of one another, with the Lied Center for performing arts in the center. First, The Lied Center: The Lied gets quality...
There is no place like...Lincoln!
This is the town of my birth. Unfortunately the hospital where I was born is now an old folks home, but in a strange way, I guess there is some kind of symmetry to all that. At first glance the town...
Well, there's red of course. . . But other colors are welcome here as well. The University of Nebraska is a surprisingly diverse place - at least it's surprisingly diverse when you think about where...
