Hey reddit. In my neighborhood (I'm around Lincoln Lutheran/56th and Holdredge) and we've got a stake in the corner of our yard with a metal base and I've seen them up and down the street at other corners too. Seemed like Lincoln Utilities was out doing it, but what are they?! 🤣

Watched the crew open the north doors on the state capitol today...the tree was going be stuffed through those tiny doors! I didn't want to stay long bc it was cold!

I have an elderly family member that has expressed interest about using Walmart+ for grocery orders. I guess my first question is, in Lincoln is this mostly done by hourly employees that can't be tipped?

Is this mostly third party delivery that will expect being tipped out?

In the past this individual has used door dash and had problems navigating the app. Ended up repeating an order unintentionally. Then there was another instance where they had tipped the driver 20 percent and the driver hounded them for a bigger tip. It is someone on a limited budget so I am trying to make life easier and not more stressful. The driver then proceeded to tell them they were trying to set up their own business outside the app, I think my relative felt cornered and uncomfortable. I apologize for the word vomit. I live in the middle of nowhere and have no clue how all these modern conveniences work.

Has anyone started a book club in town? I am thinking about trying to organize one that reads a different sports related book each month (e.g. bios, history, etc.) I lack the social circle to really get this going so I decided to reach out to the community see if there would be any interest. Also, I was trying to brainstorm a meeting location. I was thinking maybe a brewery, bookstore, coffee shop, or quieter bar might be a good place. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Bars are empty, people don’t go to restaurants no more, bars are closing one after the other. What’s happening? I see more men in the gym than anywhere else

I just canceled my university rec center membership because I've been working from home a lot more, so now I need to find another gym on the south side of Lincoln. Any recommendations?

An indoor track and a pool would be awesome, but aren't necessary. What gyms can you recommend down south?

Anyone know of any Christmas programs or shows going on this month around town? Perhaps hosted by churches or schools?

Hello Everyone! It's that time of year again. I created a Google Map of all the best Christmas displays in/around Lincoln and I'm sharing it with all of you!

Phillip's Lincoln Lights
Direct link to the 2024 map here:

Verified stops for this season are shown as red markers in the "2024 Christmas Displays" section. Houses with music will have a music icon and the station listed in the title if applicable. Past displays, not verified, are blue markers in the "Past Displays" section. Check the box on each section to display/not display. If anyone can confirm a past stop or know of other great light displays please let me know and I will get it added. I will keep updating the map right up til Christmas Day.
Thank You & Merry Christmas!!!

*Mods if you can sticky this like in the past that would be awesome!

I’d like to know how Krispy Kreme is still open…. Or is it even? Every time I go there, they’re closed. The one time I did go when they were open they didn’t have donut holes for the kids, which was the only reason I went.

Did anyone else get the pre-prepared Thanksgiving meal from Cracker Barrel for the holiday? If so, how is your family feeling? Need to know if it's just us or something in their supply chain.

I've reached out to every in-home daycare in the area that is listed on the DHHS website and none have an opening.

Does anyone know of someone, like a retired nurse, retired teacher, etc. that is doing in-home childcare?

Stay classy, Lincoln!

While two sexually transmitted infections that peaked during the height of the pandemic in Lancaster County have been trending downward since then, syphilis cases have spiked. Oh yeah? Which two went down?

The trends in Lancaster County follow national trends, particularly for syphilis — a sharp increase that prompted the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in January to create a task force to address an 80% increase in cases nationally between 2018 and 2022. The task force is expected to be disbanded on January 20 2025 before the sun goes down.

One possible point of light: By the end of September this year, 37 cases had been reported in Lancaster County, down from 40 cases at the same time last year. One possible point of light? Less editorializing and more news.

That's all I can do. The CRAP writing that passes for news makes my eyes bleed

OK, has anyone driven past our Lincoln Planned Parenthood and seen the billboard with the drawing of the building it’s located in? I NEED THAT ON A SHIRT AND I THINK THEY SHOULD SELL IT TO RAISE MONEY. i need it. please get this to the right person.

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!

Hello 27 year old male here. No college degree just high school diploma. Just seeing if people could give me advice on different jobs here in Lincoln that I should apply for. I’m looking for a full time job kinda urgently. I have experience in retail which I do not want to go back to, powder coating and basic manufacturing type work, lawn care, and a little bit of cooking. Maybe some insight into what kind of companies I should look into/ apply for or certain fields I should go into?

So my nose has been crooked for a while and I've wanted to get it fixed. I also likely have a deviated septum so getting both done would be awesome. I have a doc in mind for deviated septum but he doesn't do plastic surgery. Does anyone have any recommendations for a surgeon who does nose jobs? I'd be fine if it was in Omaha too.

I’m looking for a Lutheran church in the Lincoln area. Specifically one that IS NOT a Missouri Synod church. ELCA is my main preference. I also want something that has traditional services, nothing too contemporary. Evening services would be a bonus as well. Any suggestions?

Any companies reliable or recommended?

Temperatures are finally changing, and thus, the park is less enjoyable for the 1.5 year old… we also have zoo membership, planning doing some YMCA stuff soon and of course we know the Children’s Museum :) but I’m looking for more ideas to spice up the indoor energy releasing activities. Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

Tips on finding roommates please.. i have a 3 bdrm house- been thinking of getting roommate to help w bills. After watching worst roommate ever shows, I'm leary. No one i know is looking. I'm in my 40's, so i don't want a someone who's going to party. Any tips on where to search for one or how to screen appreciated.

I was inspired by how reddit came to support L's Kitchen recently, so wanted to give a shout out to the new Cuban restaurant (open 6 mo) on Pine Lake and 27th (in southpointe strip mall where Pepperjax used to be)... Utra's Caribbean restaurant. We went for lunch, expecting to order off the menu, but learned they had a very affordable lunch buffet ($11) and decided to try.

It didn't disappoint! The buffet is very meat heavy, so good for those who are trying to stay low carb. However, lots of fresh fruit on the salad bar and other unique things like yucca and plantains.

I wanted to post as it saddened me that the place was empty while we were there. This is the only Cuban restaurant in Lincoln as far as I'm aware and wanted to share the love for them as I hate to see local places with slow business. Give it a try if you haven't!

They are trying to get me to pay $20 for my tire being a quarter inch on the sidewalk. Anyways. Just figured I’d rather sell my car than give this organization money. Would I get in-trouble?

Does anybody know of local tree farms? Google only says prior pines but feel like i have seen more throughout the county. TIA

Looks like the car was almost cut in half between 12th and 13th on the north side. Anyone have any more information on it? Looks like it hit a tree.

I’m in my 20s and would be cool to find people to watch WWE PLE’s with, just wanted to know if anyone knows any dedicated places that people watch it or any watch parties in Lincoln.

Is there actually a miniso at gateway mall? I can't find any info online other than a single reddit post here.
