Have you ever played around with the satellite view on Google Maps or another mapping service? I enjoy zipping around Lincoln every now and then to see if I can find anything unusual.
Not long ago I was scrolling along 48th Street when I found this view:
It's a large open area between 46th and 48th, Hillside and High. As you drive along 48th Street you would never guess that just to your west are huge backyards, or a large common area, or whatever that is. Similarly, many people even within the neighborhood don't know about this long, north-south common area just south of Zeman Elementary:
What other surprises have you found while looking at Lincoln from above? Or alternately, what other "secrets" can best be seen from above that most Lincolnites don't know about?

Near my house I noticed 2 homes in the middle of the block. they’re in the backyards of the people around the block.
Found it a little odd.
That is odd - there appears to be pavement running eastward from the structures along the north side of them, but it doesn’t seem to daylight anywhere. I suppose someone’s driveway might connect to it…
There are two very long driveways side by side that connect to Stockwell (right across from Woods Blvd)
