Friday Five

Lincoln is on a roll in designating areas as blighted. Which areas are next?
  1. Cornhusker Highway. Talk about an unattractive strip through the city.
  2. Downtown. It's too hard to just pick and choose which blocks to declare blighted. Let's just get it over with and cover the whole area.
  3. The I-80 corridor. What better way to spur investment on the city's northern edge?
  4. State Fair Park. Let's steal it from the state and put in an amusement park. Disneyland Midwest, anyone?
  5. South 27th Street. It would be so much easier to widen 27th Street if we could declare the Country Club blighted.
