State Fair Park is the Next Miller & Paine
The past several months have been filled with State Fair goodbyes. In many ways I’m sick of hearing about it. Just leave already!
And yet…
I’m not one to get teary-eyed over the Fair’s departure, but boy is it going to seem weird not having it around. Heck, just learning to call State Fair Park “Innovation Campus” is going to feel odd for years to come. (Not least because “Innovation Campus” is kind of hokey.) State Fair Park is the next Miller & Paine; years from now you’ll be able to tell how long somebody has lived in Lincoln by what they call that patch of land.
The move to Grand Island is going to be a huge disruption to the State Fair. Here’s hoping it’s worth it.

Wait, what’s this you’re saying about the State Fair leaving Lincoln? I hadn’t heard about that in the LJS or on Channels 10/11 or 8. How odd…

The news broke late Friday right before a long weekend. I can see how you missed it.

Remember those delicious cinnamon rolls you could get at M&P;on that street named “O”?
Oh those were the days!
