Blew my Saturday night downtown again. I tell you, there is nothing like watching drunk huskers fans after a late game. It sounds more and more like the downtown area around 17th and O will be "revitalized". I think this means tearing everything down and putting up some new tall buildings. This is supposed to be happening in the next 6 years or so thanks to the 2015 vision project, "for the benefit of current and future citizens". (side note, they just rolled out this spiffy new site, I haven't checked through it all to see if there is any new info yet) Anyway bottom line is the riders will likely lose their hangout spot. It sounds like the new north south arterial will be 19th and 20th streets now. So we'll have to find a place closer to there.
Anyway, that's another post.
After a few hours of watching the husker fans go by, followed by the stumbling after-bar crowd at 1:00am, we went on a short clip around the city. Lincoln is a great town to cruise around late at night when there's little traffic. It doesn't take much energy or thought to avoid a wreck when you don't have anybody around you. And, nothing compares to a little 3am Perkins visit with pals! All in all, a great Saturday, even if I had to sleep through the daylight hours of Sunday to make up for it.
