Hundreds of Jobs? Let us Speculate

By: Mr. Wilson on November 1, 2006
Granted, Deena Winter's "scoop" on the possibility of hundreds of jobs coming to Lincoln in the near future was a tad short on substance, but the possibility ought to be enough to put at least a little smile on Lincolnites' faces. (Except the journalstar.com commenters, of course, who do their very best to be as negative as possible.) My end of the grapevine has been silent on this one, so what say we engage in a little speculation? I'm going to guess that the announcement -- assuming there is one to be made, of course -- involves an insurance company. The insurance industry is booming right now, and Lincoln is already home to several insurance companies. I'm going to take a wild stab and say that it's a company that does not yet have a major presence in town. Who knows, maybe we'll see the GEICO Geckosphere pop up somewhere in town. But that's all just a stab in the dark. What are your guesses?

This really could be anything.

The only thing I can think of is that when I ate lunch at Scrumpy Jack’s nigh on to about a year ago the chef said he had heard that an insurance company was planning to bring hundreds of jobs to Lincoln and that it would occupy the former Super Kmart at 56th and Highway 2.

Naturally he hoped to have some lunch business from such a possibility.

I haven’t heard anything since but I’ve often wondered if that was still a possibility.
