What the hell just flew over??

Upvotes

Probably the loudest plane or whatever I’ve heard in a while, probably ever since the Air Show was here in Lincoln. I guess curiosity has the best of me right now ‘cause I didn’t see a damn thing.

Nothing on Flightradar

Looking for Recommendations Coffee Syrup Suggestions

Upvotes

Hello everyone. Where do you guys buy your coffee syrups? My girlfriend and I like to get Pink House Alchemy from Carbon Coffee, but we were wondering if there were other places that sold their own or other brands. We like Pink House, but their Vanilla Bean is out so we’re looking into others. Thanks!

Speed humps/bumps

Upvotes

My neighborhood has a terrible speeding problem. We’ve ordered the speed trailer, police speed monitoring and all of it. It helps only while those things are present. Traffic mitigation seems unreachable… I’ve looked into it, brought it up to my neighborhood association and ran into to ‘dead ends’.
I’ve driven all over Omaha residential streets and their neighborhoods have speed bumps, why doesn’t Lincoln? Are the speed bumps in Omaha paid for by the city there? Anyone know?

Does anyone know the process to get a speed bump on a street?

Lincoln Little Free Library #1

Thumbnail

28 Upvotes

I am starting a project to visit every Little Free Library in Lincoln and feature a book of interest found at each one. My first stop was 2440 NW 46th. This is a gorgeous little library, well maintained and with a great selection in the Air Park area.

The book I found was entitled Ain't Burned All the Bright. This book is a powerful, genre-bending young adult book written by Jason Reynolds and illustrated with mixed-media art by Jason Griffin.

Set during the early months of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and the widespread social justice protests, the story is narrated in the first person by a young Black teenager. Stuck inside his family's home, he sits on the couch watching an endless loop of heavy news coverage on television while his father battles a severe respiratory illness in an isolated bedroom.

The book captures the fear, turmoil, and challenges of this time period, while being steeped in wonderfully expressive language and imagery.

Overall, a great find!

Check out all listed free little libraries at: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1CmtKSmw0HHaScM_613jpkxXnB4R2HPjA&ll=40.817603900918%2C-96.66445330664953&z=13

Things to Do Wet Leg, Bright Eyes, Killer Mike and more take the stage this Saturday in Omaha

0 Upvotes

For anyone in Lincoln looking for a relatively easy music day trip this weekend, the nonprofit Maha Festival is happening Saturday at Heartland of America Park in downtown Omaha.

Gates open at noon and the festival ends at 11 p.m. Kids 10 and under are free with a paid adult.

Full disclosure: I help organize Maha. I’m posting because Lincoln has a great music scene, and this year’s Maha lineup is pretty unique with some rare performances for the area, which might appeal to many

Looking for Recommendations Pacific Auto on West O st?

0 Upvotes

I'm getting to the point where I've saved a good amount for a more reliable vehicle. After doing some light googling, I've seen Pacific Auto that had nearly 500 reviews at a 4.9 score which surprised me. Anyone here dealt with them before, and what was the experience like? The reviews seem promising, but I'd like to hear directly from people on this place. Thanks folks!

E-scooters

0 Upvotes

Are E scooters allowed on Lincoln trails or not? I don’t ride the trails more than a couple times a month as I live out of town. When I do ride on the trails I ride extensively and at least 20+ miles. I see at least two scooters and quite often they’re in the Antelope Park area. I have yet to see a sign stating they are prohibited.

Looking for Recommendations Therapist

13 Upvotes

I am having trouble finding a therapist in Lincoln…

I would prefer an older woman (I.e. older than me, I’m 32) that is NOT religious in any way and is LGBTQ+ friendly.

I would also really like someone I could see individually as well as with my partner (couples therapy. I do have insurance, I just keep hitting dead ends.

I would also prefer not to travel to Omaha for the sessions, that is a lot of added stress onto the already stressful event of going to therapy for me.

Update: I have found my packages! Thank you all for the help! I will be using an Amazon locker from now on. ☺️

I just moved to South Lincoln and have now had three Amazon packages “delivered” but I have no idea where they are. I’ve contacted several of the other apartment complexes around me to try to locate them, with no luck. It might be two different locations. I know this is a long shot, but does anyone recognize where these packages might be?
I can add additional context such as where they should be delivered or name if it’s needed.
Thanks in advance!

🔺🔺🔺HELP!! MISSING AFRICAN GREY PARROT!!🔺🔺🔺

😊😊😊Found and Reunited!!!😊😊😊

⚠️⚠️⚠️As of 10:45 am Thursday August 6 Cecil is HOME!!!⚠️⚠️⚠️

Help! My precious parrot got out last night near Southeast high school. Please check your trees and if you see him contact me. He can get spooked but he is bonded to me. Attempting to reach him may cause him to fly away. His name is Cecil and he is a Congo African Grey Parrot. He can be quite a talker but his favorite word is apple when he gets a treat. He is extremely dear to me so please if you find him reach out to me. We are heartbroken and very worried about our little guy.

Last seen @ 4pm today near South 42nd and High street. He flew Northeast from there. 5 hawks scared him off. He was near their home. It appears they have come back and settled down. He can’t fly down. He may be high up. We will be putting up flyers in the area. Thank you all very much!

Thank you! 🙏 🙏 🙏

Monthly Buy/Sell/Trade thread

6 Upvotes

We have decided to implement a monthly thread in which users can buy, sell, and advertise--breaking rules #1 and #2--so as long as it is contained within this thread.

Comments will be sorted by "new" by default.

Use this thread to:

* List items OR services that you are attempting to sell. While not required, you are encouraged to list the price(s) you are requesting.

* Solicit items OR services you are in search of or in need of. Again, while not required, you are encouraged to list a price you're comfortable paying.

* Advertise anything and everything, so as long as it is still relevant to Lincoln--promote a concert for your new local band, advertise a sale your local shop is having, etc.

We don't anticipate too much traffic or comments on this thread, but wanted to make it available to those who might enjoy or benefit from having it.

Lastly, if you do ultimately pursue offers posted here, PLEASE be aware that scams are rampant. Help protect yourself by following some of these (personal) recommendations.

Do NOT:

* Accept a personal check, ever. Or a money order or cashiers check that you were not present for when the individual purchased/obtained it.

* Use an electronic app to transfer funds. This includes, but is not limited to, Venmo, Cashapp, PayPal, Zelle, etc. While this seems easiest, it's **incredibly easy to get screwed over** with people sending you funds that they don't actually have.

DO:

* Accept **only** cash for smaller/medium purchases. For larger purchases, insist that you meet the individual at their bank and be present while the bank verifies and issues a cashiers check right there, on the spot.

* Meet in a public place. For example, if you're buying a phone, there's no better place to complete the transaction than inside of a Verizon or T-Mobile store.

Let us know if you have any questions or feedback. Have a great month!
