Four Corners

By: Mr. Wilson on December 11, 2008
Here's a little game for your Thursday. I'll give you the stuff on three consecutive corners of an intersection. You tell me what's on the fourth corner. Bonus points if you link to the Google Maps "Street View" of the fourth corner. Ready?

Cell phone store?

All correct so far. Good work!

Now for that pesky #3. I’m not surprised nobody has gotten it yet, but to tell you why I’m not surprised would constitute a hint. Toss out some guesses. If nobody gets it I’ll post a hint after Noon or so.

#3 West O Street, right by the onramp for the interstate.

My mental picture of that part of West O is fuzzy, but I think I know where you’re talking about. Regardless, that is not the intersection I’m looking for.

Hint for #3: The description of one of the corners is a bit of a trick.

Hair care place? 63rd and Havelock?

Sooooo close!

Thanks, Neal, I appreciate hearing that. I love doing them. Unfortunately I don’t have as much time as I would like to put them together. I really want to try to do this sort of thing at least once a week. We’ll see if I get there.

I got nothin’.

You get partial credit. You’ve got the correct intersection. What Lincoln icon is on that fourth corner?

It’s Misty’s, but I thought that was the “home cooking” since it’s a popular hangout before NU home games.

Gene

I like this stuff also.

Mr. Wilson

The “home cooking” was supposed to refer to the house on the southeast corner. Is that a business? If so, it sort of ruins the question.

But yes, Misty’s (or steaks) is the answer I was looking for!

I couldn’t tell if that was a house or a ‘bidness.’ It’s kind of hard to tell in NE Lincoln sometimes-especially Havelock.
