... to Lincoln, Nebraska - There is No Place like Nebraska....

and as someone who was born and raised here, I'd have to agree, as I'd never want to live anywhere else but here. We still have some of that small-town America feel, while being a modern American city. While we don't have any major professional teams, we have the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to provide us with lots of athletic excitement as well as two semi-pro teams in the Lincoln Stars (hockey) and Lincoln Saltdogs (baseball). Links to both of these great teams are located below. We're more than just sports though - we have incredible museums, awesome restaurants including the unique Runza experience that people who move away come back just to eat one, and a great public school system.



We are a unique state for a couple of reasons. First of all, we are the only state in the Union with a Unicameral for a Legislature (meaning we have a one-house Legislature instead of a two-house legislature). Second, we are the only wholly Public Power State - which means we have no Investor-Owned electricity suppliers, but municipally-owned systems.

Why I love living in Lincoln, Nebraska

It's home. It is a simple answer, but covers so much. This is where I went to school (elementary through college), its where my family lives, it's where my husband is buried.

I can afford to live here - that's important for a single mother living on a single income. There are good jobs, good homes, and great schools.

Being a sports fan, having a lot of athletic teams to support makes it a great place to live too. I can cheer on my daughter's high school teams, my college teams in a variety of sports where we are among the elite teams in some of them, and get anything I need.

    Have any of you heard of a recycling service called RecycleLink? It is a relatively new curbside recycling service that rewards you for recycling. I am look for some feedback to see if it is a good service. Look forward to your input
