101 Things to Do in Lincoln

24 - Except for one year in '92 I haven't lived in Lincoln since '84. I haven't heard of most of the restaurants. I did eat a Runza at the original Runza on the corner of Pioneers and Van Dorn on the way to Pioneer's Park

 
I've only done 18 on that list but, I only lived in Lincoln from 1981 to 1986. Most of those didn't exist then.

So, is Lee's Chicken still open? Loved that place.

Anyhow, I love Yia Yia's but I can't figure out why they serve a hunk of bread with their pizza. a) it's not that good and b) we're already eating pizza so why do we need it?

Because one slice of pizza isn't that filling, I guess. And it's good, basic bread. Nothing special, but it's yummy with salty butter.

Ask for parmesan when you pick up your pizza. It's good on the bread, too.

I'm in for 21. I guess that means I'm slightly less pathetic than JJHusker1. (And I need to get back to Lincoln more often.)

Experience?

 
#118 and #119 -- go to the Plasma Center twice a week to receive your beer money for the weekend

Go with a buddy and race to see who can fill their bag the fastest.
