Kearney memorial tour

[RedSeaRising]

who all went to UNK and what years? 07-11 here, what most consider the golden age.

Wasn't my first stop but I was there 12-14.

I don't recall witnessing this but vaguely remember hearing the story. I was busy burning a 20' tall pile of furniture in the street in front of my house.

I wonder if we were there around the same time

I'm betting that's likely. I think this was the same year that we packed so many people on to a front porch it collapsed and then the tornado sirens broke up the party. Ran into some random dudes house and he was high out of his mind playing FIFA on a 3D TV. Dude was cool as hell and I never even got his name.

I'll sit this one out - at least the when part.

But let's just say nothing has changed from the comments.

God, what a time machine these pictures are. Einstein's was a thing late 80's/early 90's as well.

Anyone have a picture of Fireside Lounge?

Do you remember if Einsteins was called something else before it was Lear Jets it seems like it was called something else between the two. Fireside sounds familiar where was that located?

Fireside was across from Copperfields, just east of Thunderhead Brewing. It burned down in the 90's.

I believe Einstein's went by a different name, but that was before my time. My older brother might remember.

Anybody remember Bico's Lounge.....the only place to buy beer in Kearney on a Sunday? Kearney was a dry town on Sundays back in the day..

The other one before my time I always heard about was Dicky Dugens. I might have spelled it wrong.

Yep, it was Dicky Dugans.

Bicos had some good pizza. It’s a daycare now.

How about The Dome? Loved going in there on a Saturday morning and getting shit rocked on 98% whiskey / 2% cokes for $2.50

I was going to ask if it burned down, I remember people talking about it, unfortunately before my time. I remember people saying it used to be Einsteins but for some reason I thought it was called something else before Lear Jets. I've been to Bico's had a chicken fried steak that covered the whole plate and then some and then another plate with the mashed potatoes etc... probably one of the best chicken fried steaks I've had too.

One of my all-time favorite cruise night memories involved subjects that fit this perfectly. They carried said keg around to various parties across 25th St, eventually got tired and said fuck it and left the keg on the median and just ran out to the median to fill up. Worked great for about 5 minutes till the cops noticed and they got popped for MIP.

My sister use to rent an apartment in what was the old Valentinos express building. We were over there for a bit and someone shot at another person at Lear jets and we could see the guy running off. That same night I saw a couple people get taken off on a stretcher, and a car was on fire where the lake is by the canal. That was the craziest one I remember.

The dome was still a great spot to pick up trashy milfs ready to cheat and get plastered for $14 2010-2015ish

Wasn't Einsteins the place that Christian Peter grabbed that chick by the throat right before the NFL Draft?

The OG Bicos was the GOAT restaurant. After it got sold, a couple people tried to get it going again but it never lasted. I hate that it's a daycare now, for absolutely no reason.

I mean that sounds about right.

One night I was absolutely hammered by 730pm on a husker game day against Illinois. I convinced some dudes wife to walk a solid 3 miles to grand view to get some dick. I blasted that poor lady all over her face. Then called her a cab. Kearney was gooood times

Not sure, but sounds about right. The alfalfa field just west of Einstein's was where my roommate passed out on a Thursday night.

Damn near got eaten by a windrower the next morning. He said the farmer was in shock when he sat up - right before he was about to go through the machine. The stories.

Who used to buy kegs at Bill's liquor while underaged?

- me

We lived close to Bill's we bought so much alcohol there we used to get free kegs all the time.

I didn’t go to UNK but now almost feel like I was there with you all
