Honest Abe's is the best! Love the theming too

Wow I might have to stop there.

I love Honest Abe’s.

Gott'a get off the Interstate more ;) .

why cant i talk to u ?

It’s a great city!

That's because there's nothing else to do here.

​@CityGeek if you're intoxicated and don't know where you are.

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised as well when I visited Lincoln

They have prettied it up a LOT since I was there in the early- to mid-2010s

You bet!

Haha yeah it’s a great story!

Thank you! As usual 😉

Should come check us out sometime ;) !

Thank you!! Yeah unfortunately it looks like I’m done talking about Nebraska skyscrapers for awhile, haha. Good question! I have visited most of the cities I’ve made videos on but I haven’t visited all of them… yet 😉

Thank you! That’s interesting about Island Park having the longest Main Street. I’ll have to look into that!

Thank you!! Yeah I’m hoping so 🤞 🤞 🤞

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll look into that!

@@CityGeek do Aurora Colorado

It’s called The Sower. It’s 19 feet tall and I’d agree that it does look pretty cool

Yep, it's the sower. Spreading new growth to the state. It faces to the NW or towards the most land in the state. The Capitol in general is truly a piece of art. There is a lot of Native American symbolism and art. The whole thing tells a story about the state (from prehistoric to modern times) as well as the history of the USA and of law

Everyone always joked that it was some guy bowling. Actually a really cool structure on the inside and there are observation decks at the top

It's called the Penis of the Plains. The man on top is peeing on everyone.

Lol. Yeah I was wondering that as well when I made this video.

@@CityGeek Yeah, it's a little off, but all good :) .

Unfortunately we are in a pretty flat terrain, there isn’t really any hiking but we have fun biking trails that go through heavily wooded areas.

Platte River State Park

If you like boredom and corn then you'd like it.

Yeah it’s pretty interesting! I believe it was named after Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

@@CityGeek my Hometown Lancaster came Form Lancaster Pennsylvania in South Carolina

@@CityGeek Mmm, I think it was named after the county it's in, maybe 🤔 ? 🤷🏼‍♂

It’s on my list 😊

Absolutely! I was actually in Des Moines a couple weeks ago so it's on my list :)

Yeah it’s pretty wild!

From everything I’ve read it seems like a great place to live and it’s a more diverse city than you’d expect. Hopefully someone who actually lives there will comment through

@@CityGeek hope so, thanks ☺️

@@duckyle8205 you bet!

Lincoln actually has a decent Vietnamese and Korean population for it's size. I was born and raised there. For retirement it's not bad. My parents retired a couple years ago and live there. Biggest downside for all of Nebraska is that property taxes are some of the highest in the country, but a low cost of living and cheaper housing helps make up for it. As for the job market, it depends. Insurance, education, government, and health care are the biggest and growing. There is also a small, but growing tech scene. Manufacturing is very much lacking, but construction and service industries are strong.

I'll also add that it is a very clean, safe, and fun place to live. The city really shines for people raising a family. High quality education, lots of unique parks and trails, and a beautiful children's zoo are some highlights. Being a college town, downtown is always hopping, especially on game days.

Absolutely!

@@CityGeek I would really appreciate it!!!!!

no

Yeah you’re definitely right about the average being a little skewed by the capitol. I still think it has a better skyline than I was expecting for a city with such a small metro population.

The view of the skyline coming into Lincoln on interstate 180 is very impressive (for the size). Especially now that they just finished the cities new second tallest building on the north end. It's been about 15 years since I've been to Boise, so I won't try to compare

@@kingsledge The new 21-story Lied Place Condominiums you refer to on the north end should also qualify as one of the skinniest skyscrapers around. Each floor only has one side of a hallway, with no condos or building on the other side of the hallway.

Now they're going to build that new, impressive skyscraper just a block west of there roughly, which will be even taller :) !

Don't move here. Ever heard of that woman Teena Brandon? Yeah, she's from and buried in Lincoln. Not a very friendly place for fruit.

@@TEpScin thank you for telling me that Story. Well, I ve never heared anything about Teena Brandon, But I also dont identify as transgender... I am male and gay. Also no tattoos no Piercings, no jewelry... I look very normal. I dont think you ll have a Problem with me.... by the way. Im from Germany, europe. Msny greetings to the US;) 🇩🇪

🤔

Yeah, at 85% white, I see what you mean, brother.

It was fun as hell when I was in college, because I had a good group of friends. But as a man I know I'd hate it.

Amen,Clyde. Finally a normal person in here!
