See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
Is it a person?
Woohoo! Our first contestant!
No, it is not a person.
Is it a building?
Yes.
Is the building part of the University of Nebraska?
Is it a restaurant or bar?
No.
Yes.
(You know me too well!)
Is the building taller than 6 stories?
Is the restaurant/bar part of a chain or franchise?
Is it downtown?
No.
No.
No.
Is it south of Highway 2?
No.
If you divide Lincoln in half using 48th Street, does it lie on or east of 48th?
Yes.
Has it been open longer than two years?
Yes.
By the way, that was question #10.
Is it on or north of O street?
I’m nesting my comment because this isn’t an official guess - I’m just conferencing with fellow Lincolnites 😊
Two ways of going with this - narrowing down the location, or perhaps narrowing down what type of food (if it’s a restaurant) that they serve. Is it ethnic, or is it American?
...just ideas.
Does it serve Mexican cuisine?
Yes.
No.
Do they serve Pizza/Italian?
Does this establishment serve alcohol?
Solvers:
If you’re Googling restaurants or bars, I think it’s likely in the 68504, 05, or 07 zip code.
If it’s a restaurant, placess along 48th such as Michel’s Ville Grille & Mo Java come to mind. I would suggest La Paz as well, but that’s Mexican. There’s also a few Asian places like Great Wall. Others: Blue Moon, Greg’s, Cook’s Cafe.
There are a lot of bars, so that may be harder to narrow down…
Yes.
Yes.
Is it the original Misty’s?
Funny you should mention La Paz. That was my original answer, but I changed it because I figured you guys would figure out a Mexican joint too quickly.
No.
Is it The Isles Pub and Pizza?
Is it south of Vine Street?
No.
We have a winner! Good work, Fletch!
Thanks! I was sure Nikki would beat me to it. What a great way to kill a Friday!
I was going to guess Misty’s but then I remembered that we asked if it was downtown and Mr. W said no. I was actually thinking Isle’s when I asked about pizza.
Stupid short attention span. 😉
Nice job! Alas, I kept having to leave the office today, so I wish I could’ve helped more. That was one I was thinking.
I like these Lincolnite Games! Where in Lincoln, fill in the missing corner, 20Q, etc.
Mr. Wilson - I think you have the answer to the question “How can I increase comments on my blog?”
Good work Fletch! Your detective skills are indeed good…

These puzzles work well, as do most discussions about restaurants.
I asked this once before - but someone mentioned that we have profiles. I can’t seem to find one. Can anyone guide me?
