Friday Five

By: Mr. Wilson on August 4, 2006
I think the summer heat is getting to us, and Lincolnites are getting a tad grouchy. So it's about time for a reminder of just a few of the great things about Lincoln, in no particular order:
  1. Lincoln is big enough to get lost in, but small enough there's a good chance you'll run into somebody you know.
  2. Sunken Gardens. What an awesome point of pride for the city.
  3. Our dining options are getting better and better. Sure, we have room for improvement, but do you remember how recently it was when Lincolnites were positively giddy that Applebee's was coming to town?
  4. Most Lincolnites don't have to think twice about going for a walk in their neighborhood any old time. And they do.
  5. There's no place quite like Lincoln. Not that I have found, anyway. We're just a little bit different, and we like it that way.

how true.

We really have no bad parts of town, and a bunch of decent folks are here.  We are becomming really diversa as well.  Gotta say I have lived here my whole life, and I will be happy to stick around.

Joshua - are you referring to getting full posts of Lincolnite or your blog on your RSS reader? If the former, which aggregator do you use?

Full posts of Lincolnite in my RSS Reader, using NetNewsWire.

Yeah, I added that today at Mr. T’s request. I was wondering if anybody would notice.

I get all kinds of giddy when something exciting happens in XML.

Thanks. I’ll have to try that one out. I use bloglines and I still only get the title of the post for Lincolnite.
