Review of Lincoln, Nebraska


Small City with wishful thinking
Star Rating - 1/4/2019
Lincoln is friendly, safe, affordable, clean and has no natural disasters. The local-ism is kinda creepy. They want to know all about you and where you come from but really wont truly befriend if you are an outsider. Strange obsession with identity crisis around Nebraska in general. Some talk about interest in going somewhere like Denver, Phoenix, Chicago, anywhere in California but will never leave their Lincoln Hamlet. Weird vicarious living attitude. I embrace the location for what it is ...mid-west vibe. Some of the best sunsets i have seen anywhere.

Lincoln is a city that literally began as a small town and expanded only to sallow up other small towns. It never truly sheer it's small town origin. Hence, like any small town, people can be skeptical about outsiders. The joke I heard is that Lincoln is a small town that thinks it's a city. Omaha is a city that thinks it's a small town. And yeah, I encountered many young people who complain about living there, but end up staying there anyways.
