Down South

By: Mr. Wilson on October 28, 2010
Hickman has unveiled a nifty plan for what they're billing as a regional recreation and event complex. It's a fun, ambitious plan that includes sports fields, a golf course, and even ... a drive-in movie theater? There's a throwback for you. If you aren't familiar with Hickman, located about 15 minutes south of Lincoln on 68th Street, you may at least remember its most famous (former) resident, a horse named Peter Rabbit. Currently it's a small town approaching 2,000 residents, but with Lincoln's continued growth to the south, Hickman has been growing as well. The proposed complex is clearly intended to be a proactive move to give Hickman an advantage over other Lancaster County towns like Waverly. Speaking of proactivity, I've long been curious why Cortland hasn't more actively promoted itself similar to this. Cortland sits about halfway between Lincoln and Beatrice on Highway 77, a very convenient location on a nice, well-maintained highway. Hickman is much less convenient, relatively speaking. I suppose something similar could be said for Ceresco up north of town. In any event, it's nice to see that at least one area town isn't going to just sit back and watch Lincoln take over. I hope this project turns out well.

Hey, can I get a full text RSS subscription from your blog (with proper credit of course)? I can only see excerpts.
I don’t I’ll be posting much more here for a while. But then again, I have no idea when I would want to be random again.
I’m not happy about my life, what can I do to be happy?

Calm down. It’s only ones and zeros.
