Apparently the Journal Star -- or at least Matt Olberding -- doesn't think much about good ol' Lincoln. In an article on top places to retire, Lincoln is summed up as a place with "high taxes, cold winters and hot summers". Gee, sounds dreamy! I don't think the Lincoln Convention and Visitors Bureau will be picking up that slogan any time soon.
I'm nowhere near retirement age, but frankly taxes and weather wouldn't (necessarily) scare me off. No, if I wanted to frighten old people away from Lincoln I'd point out all the damn hippie college kids. Now THEY are scary. Their music; their clothing; their bizarre mating rituals; their inability to form a coherent English sentence. Nope, a little snowstorm wouldn't keep me away nearly as effectively as would a pamphlet titled The Perils of Living in a College Town.
