There is no place like...Lincoln!

by fraise - last update: May 7, 2004

Strange but True...

Oh yeah...it's for real.

This is the town of my birth. Unfortunately the hospital where I was born is now an old folks home, but in a strange way, I guess there is some kind of symmetry to all that. At first glance the town seems charming--and for the most part, it is...if you don't stay too long.

Never mess with the locals, though. This is also the birth (and death) place of infamous spree-killer Charles Starkweather. In case you're interested, his grave is located in Wyuka Cemetery near 40th & O Street. Just stop by the office, and they'll tell you where to find his burial site.
"bite me!"

had Andy Warhol visited Nebraska...

perhaps he'd have created this image. but he didn't, so I did.

 I wish I had a few more days there. It was a fun trip. I'll have to go again in another year. I just wish Nebraska would have found another day to execute him besides my birthday. :-(

 I would like to send you a picture of the Sower that you might like. It is real. I took it myself. I live here.

 I like your pop art, Andy Warhol should not have neglected Nebraska!
