Neato Neighborhood with strange buildings

 Filed under: Lincoln News, lincoln — beerorkid @ Aug 31st, 2007

I call it the hispanic flats, but most would know the neighborhood as the south bottoms. I live a street away from the area that the planning commission unanimously voted to call blighted

Come sip a brew with me and look over the vast acres of blight iffin you want.
hat tip to Mr. Wilson

I used to be afraid to deliver pizza’s here, but after 8 years I have grown to love it. Cooper park, the salt levee trail, salt creek, Germans from Russia museum, and soon the Jamaica North trail. I am 1 block away from the industrial area, under Capitol Parkway and between two railroad tracks. But the neighborhood is filled with cool places.

  1. Nice photos, thanks for posting them. I have never really explored that area in depth, so I appreciate the glimpses. The one thing that messes me up about that area though are the train tracks. I am a pretty light sleeper so it really bothers me when the trains blow their whistles in the wee hours.

  3. The longer I live in my neighborhood, 48th between O and Randolph, the more like it also. Neighborhood pride rules.

  • Meh.....

A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed.
