Great City! - 4/16/2006
Excellent city! Lincoln, NE is a great place for people who want a balance between a big city and small town atmosphere. While appealing to a younger crowd with many nighttime life opportunities downtown, Lincoln is also a terrific place for a family. Lincoln has a very low crime rate (with the exception of a few small areas), excellent schools, dozens and dozens of well kept parks, 100 miles of paved walking and biking trails, a couple of nice malls (including an outdoor one in S. Lincoln), hundreds of restaraunts (with a nice mix of local shops and national chain restaraunts).. The only downfall would be the winters and the severe thunderstorms that sometimes occur! But overall Lincoln is a terrific place to live. I HIGHLY recommend Lincoln as a place to raise a family and is also quite a bit of fun for students pursuing a university

Living in Lincoln - 12/1/2005
It was TOUGH to adjust to living here. Culture shock, other comments posted are true. The only thing, it was a great place to raise my sons.

If you look, there are little gems in Nebraska. Must be adventerous to find

Lincoln - 11/10/2005
I completely agree with the comment from Alli. Lincoln is incredibley boring and there is virtually nothing to do, unless you are obsessed with Huskers football. I will say the city is a nice, clean and safe place to raise kids. However, the activities in Lincoln are very very limited. The one other thing that I disliked is the extremes with the weather. Extreme humidity in the summer, extreme wind ALL THE TIME, and extreme dry bitterness in the winter. I lived there for over 13 years before finally making the decision to escape. Escape I did, to the great cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul. Yes, winters in Minneapolis are cold, but at least every other season is great. If you want a place with a lot to do, you might want to reconsider moving to Lincoln,
