Lincoln

If you have an afternoon to kill, definitely check out Morrill Hall!

I lived here for 5 years. It was a good place to live in during grad school. But I can’t imagine anyone making an effort to visit Lincoln unless they wanted to go to a Cornhuskers game. If you do go, however, the capitol building is very cool and worth wandering around.

I went to UNL for undergrad and basically became who am I during my time there. I came to school precocious and naive and left it worldly and jaded. From the best times of my life to the worst, they’ve all been here.

I’m likely one of the only Nebraskans who has lived in both Lincoln and Omaha who actually prefers Lincoln. That said, if you’re just visiting I’d steer toward Omaha.

Recommended: Husker football, Pioneers Park, Sheldon Art Gallery/UNL campus, Sunken Gardens. Restaurants/bars: YiaYia’s, Lazlos, Bisonwiches, Duffy’s, Barrymore’s, Bricktop.

I was here for the national rollerskating championships in 2000. Lincoln is the rollerskating capitol of the world…that’s about it.

Lots of museums and other stuff to do.
