Lincolnite

3 is my neighborhood: Near South

4 is university place

1 is The Highlands

6. A STEW (What you make in a melting pot?)

7. I DRESS RED, WIN GEL (promotion for a Lincoln based hair product manufacturer?)

8. DIG THE LOANS, HR (How the finance department brags to the human resources department?)

5 is Russian Bottoms, which is funny because I was struggling to make one of my own with Russian Bottoms but came up empty!

Russian Bottoms? Man I’ve never even heard of that neighborhood. Where the heck is that?

1 is Arnold Heights

Russian Bottoms is also known as South Bottoms southwest of downtown.

And now that Mr. T has solved #1, I should admit that one of mine is apparently redundant. Ooops.

Man I’ve never even heard of South Bottoms either. I need to get out more.

Where is foxspit?

Thanks for the extras, Chris! I got two of them, but I will let others hop in with the answers:

6. Too easy 😊
8. This one threw me for a second because there’s a red herring buried inside in the form of a different Lincoln neighborhood (but with extra letters remaining).

Aha, there I got 7. Good ones, Chris!

9. AYE, HELL INK (an affirmation of a fluid’s devilishness?)
10. HE HURLS LOTS IN (adding fuel to the fire?
11. T’WAS LIVELY VEAL (it leapt off the plate?)

6 West A
9 Yankee Hill
11 Salt Valley View

10 Southern Hills

If I’m not mistaken, that leaves 2, 7, and 8, right?

Is #2 College View(s)?

Oh - just realized i inserted an extra ‘S’ into #2 when I jotted it down on paper to work it out - I think it IS College View.

Yep, it’s College View. I imagine it’s much more difficult to solve with an extra letter thrown in 😊

I live in the south bottoms, right next to the Germans from Russia museum and they fly a Canadian flag.  Not kidding.

That’s not terribly surprising, as a large number of Germans from Russia also settled in Canada:

Obligatory Wikipedia link

Great post - I learned some new neighborhood names this morning!

FYI - I moved to Lincoln in 2005 and learned much of what I know of this town from the Wikipedia page about Lincoln. A wealth of information that surpassed any other resource in getting me oriented in a new town (and state).

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lincoln,_Nebraska&oldid=88413798

he he I just read that, oh and learned it from someone who knows way too much.

OK Im stumped on 7 and 8. Come on dude, when are you going to spill the beans.

I tried to make my own anagram for “xterra” but couldn’t.

This one is a duplicate, so I’ll go ahead and say it:

8. Arnold Heights

I’ll just give a hint on 7: two words.

Number 7 is a part of town that is experiencing wild growth, though it is nowhere near the zoo.

7 is Wilderness Ridge.
