The Trains They Are a Runnin’
There’s an interesting sign at 56th and Old Cheney: “Trains are running again.” It’s a very unassuming, small, easy-to-miss sign on the side of the road. I guess that means the tracks along Highway 2 are going to be used again, after several months of inactivity. But I wonder if anybody told the road markings crews? The RXR markings at several intersections have been removed.
14th and Q Coffee
Construction has started on the southeast corner of 14th and Q for a coffee shop of some sort (according to one of the construction guys), just a few meters west of Amigos. Anyone know what chain this will be? (if it is a chain)
My Favorite Corner
Awesome. Now, within walking distance of my house are Midwest Seafood, Smokehouse Deli, and Grain Bin. 48th and Highway 2 is a specialty foods heaven. Don’t forget the restaurants, hardware store, and bars. Even though it isn’t the most attractive chunk of real estate, it is definitely my favorite corner in Lincoln.
What’s your favorite corner?
Exchange of the Day
Maybe I’m just overtired, but this exchange between commenters on the Journal Star’s website made me laugh:
Larry: Deliberate Husker Littering! If I threw one out the window of my car I could be fined. Maybe the next time they score I’ll “release” 1000 plastic grocery bags near memorial stadium to show my true spirit. Without the helium to carry them away you’ll see that 1000 of just about anything is a heck of a lot of trash…
And the reply:
larry - give me a call and i’ll let you borrow my big red cry towel.

A Walk on 13th Street
Three happenings on 13th Street that I noticed today:
- There’s now a Smart Chicken hot dog cart outside the Wells Fargo building. Chicken dog, anyone?
- The Douglas 3 has been fenced off. Its days are few.
- Quiznos is coming to the Chipotle/Cold Stone/Valentino’s strip. I still wish Samurai Sam’s would have taken that spot after Eminent Domaingate.
Lincolniters Almanac
What sort of winter will we have this year, o soothsayers of Lincoln? My crystal ball says we will have mild temperatures and above-normal precipitation. But like every great weatherman, I reserve the right to update my prediction whenever actual conditions prove me wrong.
