Omaha vs Lincoln

[whoboppin]

Serious question, does Lincoln have anything else besides Downtown/Haymarket as far as areas to hang out that aren't strip malls? Is there an Aksarben, Benson, Blackstone, etc equivalent in Lincoln?

it’s amazing how often this article has felt relevant on this board:

Rural Nebraskan Not Sure He Could Handle Frantic Pace Of Omaha

NORTH PLATTE, NE–Lifelong North Platte resident Fred Linder, 46, revealed Monday that he doesn’t think he could cope with the fast-paced hustle and bustle of Omaha, the Cornhusker State’s largest city.

I don't really think there is anything in South Lincoln, as far as I can remember.

Does Havelock have anything?

South Lincoln is pretty much residential and strips malls

The joyo. What else do you need?

Lincoln has outgrown it's infrastructure and getting anywhere is a nightmare, the mayor is a lib moron,, and shopping and entertainment options outside of the arena are non-existent. With that being said, I'd still rather live in Lincoln than mini-Chicago. I don't feel like getting hit by a stray bullet anytime soon.

is the pinewood bowl considered Lincoln or not since its kinda on the out side?

Can we talk about how much the cops suck in Lincoln compared to Omaha cops? The city of Lincoln is literally one giant speed trap for those guys.

Not sure what you're referencing exactly, but I live about 70th and Yankee Hill. In our neighborhood (about 56th and Pine Lake) there's a bunch of mixed use properties, where there's storefronts on the bottom and condos above, housing things like 402 Creamery, Gary Michael's Clothiers, and some artisan Chocolate Place. Then you have a stand alone buildings like Hiro 88, Catalyst, Zip Line Brewery, Art & Soul, and Boiler Room Brewery. We love it because we can just walk 15 minutes, drink as much as we want and then walk home.

The Village Gardens area is very nice, as is Fallbrook. The Telegraph District has drastically improved the area east of downtown.

“Haha that city sucks cuz it’s just a bunch of chain restaurants, shitty infrastructure and nothing but white people suburbia.”

Omaha/Lincoln

PS: compare both to similar sized cities in the region.

Omaha > Wichita, Des Moines or Springfield MO

Lincoln > Topeka, Cedar Rapids/Cockeye City or Columbia/Jeff City

I hate when people compare Lincoln and Omaha to cities that have more people than the entire state of Nebraska.
(Ex: Austin/Denver/KC/etc.)


I can’t believe you made me stick up for Swimtown and Lincoln.
Fuck you for making me do that.

308 >>>> those shitholes

If I were move back to Nebraska, I would probably live in Omaha. Seems better for families

 

[Huskers4420]

If you're still in Lincoln after college sorry, but you're a dweeb. Lincoln is a college town. And its infrastructure is a joke. Anyone calling Omaha mini-Chicago is probably from western Nebraska or has never actually been to Chicago.

I was under the impression that anyone west of gretna needed a shot of narcan to wake up in the morning

Live in Elkhorn, anything west of 120th, Omaha is superior. Places east are fine for a visit. OPS is ass.
