Lincoln does have transit. Star Tran, that's the city bus transit system there.

mrsticka

Why didn't they do this 10-15 years ago?

mrsticka

Last year, it was Mississippi State who won. This year, it was Ole Miss. So that makes 2 years in a row that a team from Mississippi won the College World Series.

mrsticka

I remember a Schwinn bike shop in Rockbrook many years ago next to the Garden Cafe.

mrsticka

Congrats to Ole Miss for winning their first College World Series. They've had their fair share of heartache and frustration since 1972. They finally made it to the CWS in 2014 for the first time since '72, but got eliminated. They didn't make it back to the CWS until this year and they actually wo...

On North 48th in Lincoln a few years ago when the Amigo's was still open, I went there one night for dinner. Winchell's was there, too. And they offered me a donut. It was pretty good I'd say.

mrsticka

Game's over. Ole Miss won 10-3. Boy, Oklahoma ran into a buzzsaw tonight.

mrsticka

So who's been eliminated so far? Championship series is between Ole Miss and Oklahoma. Game 1 Saturday June 25th, 6pm Game 2 Sunday June 26th , 2pm Game 3 if necessary Monday June 27th 6pm I'll admit this CWS blew right by and I had no chance to see a game or even follow who's in and who's out. Now...

mrsticka

Here's a question: Does anyone still get donuts from Winchell's? If anyone remembers them, they were pretty big back in the 70's and 80's. They were the Krispy Kreme and Dunkin' Donuts during that time period.

Memorial Stadium in Lincoln was built in 1923. Rosenblatt was built in 1948. Memorial Stadium is older than Rosenblatt, but it's still standing today.

mrsticka

Boy, people's attitudes certainly have changed in 12 years. When they were demolishing Rosenblatt, practically everybody in Omaha was dead set against it. They complained how the city didn't care about its history and didn't want to preserve old buildings and landmarks. Not that Rosenblatt was a la...

Fenway Park in Boston was built in 1912. Wrigley Field in Chiacgo was built in 1914. But they're still standing today.

But that's what this thread is about; "What if" scenarios. We all have them. Who cares about "realistic possibilities"?

mrsticka

Here's another what if: Rosenblatt Stadium isn't demolished. Instead, it's still there and the College World Series is still played there every year? The answer to your “what if”, which trickles down to most all of your others- if Rosenblatt Stadium wasn’t demolished (and the downtown stadium not b...

What if 72nd and 50th Streets were overpasses above I-80 instead of underpasses? I don't understand this one. Does it really make a difference? Yeah, probably not. But the way I see it, 72nd is on a higher terrain than I-80. After the 84th Street exit, I-80 goes up a big hill to 72nd. And 50th is t...

Here's another what if: Rosenblatt Stadium isn't demolished. Instead, it's still there and the College World Series is still played there every year? As for the other baseball stadium downtown, TD Ameritrade Park, now Charles Schwab Field, it's home to the Storm Chasers instead of Werner Park in Sou...

The College World Series usually starts on a Saturday, but this year, it'll start on a Friday. No, after about 12 years of starting on a Saturday, its going back to a Friday. It was about the time it left Rosenblatt when the start was moved to a Saturday. Friday is much better. Really? I didn't kno...

This will be Ole Miss' first time to the CWS since 2014. Before then, they hadn't been to the CWS since 1972. At least, they didn't have to wait another 42 years to make it back.

mrsticka

So we've got Texas A&M, Notre Dame and Oklahoma in the College World Series now.

mrsticka

Texas A&M is the first team to get to the College World Series.

Wasn't the Gold Building HDR Headquarters until 2018?

mrsticka

I remember when the McDonald's on 108th and Q had these rather weird looking seats.

I believe Methodist and Children's are completely independent of each other.

Well, either way, it's growing.

mrsticka

So that skybridge above 84th is now complete? The Sky Bridge was under construction in 2019 and I believe opened sometime in 2020. The Gold building is now officially part of Methodist? The Gold Building and the Blue Building to the west of the Gold Building were purchased by Children's on June 1st...

Who remembers the first "Yo Quiero Taco Bell" commercial from 1997?

mrsticka

Getting back to the original topic, what if I-80 had high mast lights posted at the 84th, 72nd, 60th and 42nd Street exits and the I-80/I-480/US 75 interchange, but still had traditional street lights posted in between those exits?

mrsticka

They should also have routes on: -108th between Harrison and West Center -Millard Avenue between 144th and L Street/Industrial Road -132nd between L Street/Industrial Road and West Dodge (Yes, I know Millard Avenue and 132nd Street are the same road) -144th between the NE 370 interchange and West Ma...

mrsticka

I remember when Taco Bell sold their Fiesta potatoes just plain without anything on them. Now they pour cheese and some other white (sour?) cream onto them.

mrsticka

Of course, if Jim Flowers had stayed at KETV all these years, that would've affected Bill Randby, too. What would've happened to him? Would he have just been a morning or weekend meteorologist at KETV? Or would he have joined WOWT and become their chief meteorologist instead? Julie Cornell would've ...

mrsticka

On a more serious note, I like that one with the sunset, windmill and Chimney Rock. They should've just gone with that one.

mrsticka

What if I-29 ran through Nebraska instead of Iowa thus serving Omaha directly? Then Nebraska would have a major north-south interstate route and they'd have 2 interstate highways running through it like pretty much every other state, except Maine. What if 72nd and 50th Streets were overpasses above...

mrsticka

Maybe they'll bring back the 1, 2 and 59 codes on the new plates?

I'm not sure about this one.

There used to be a Bonanza Steakhouse on 108th and O where a QT is now. I know because I used to live in that area. In fact, my dad took us to it once.
