We went to see Wall-e tonight, and it turns out that it is better if you’ve seen Hello, Dolly! first! Go figure. I highly recommend both movies! Afterwards we didn’t have anything we really needed to buy, but I wasn’t ready to go home just yet. We walked around downtown Lincoln a little bit. Here are some things we saw:
I love walking in alleys. As long as you don’t get mugged, you see the most interesting things, like these stairs.
Here’s my obligatory art shot. I’m sure no one has ever taken a picture like this! Don’t bother fact-checking that.
Lastly, we stopped to use the restrooms at the downtown community college and judged the art students below. Lloyd was very harsh, but I was like Paula Abduhl. (But with worse nails and less crazy.)
Kitt says
Do people get mugged in Lincoln? In broad daylight?
Brad says
Those stairs say “Telephone Exchange”. Maybe that whole building is like a giant Tardis! (Thanks a LOT for getting me watching another TV show, by the way.)
Lauren says
You’re welcome. 🙂
Kitt, I think it could happen. Good thing we have Batman!
Deanne says
What was Lloyd harsh about, the quality of their work?
Lauren says
Mostly what they were wearing. 😉
Deanne says
Yeah… kids these days… Good thing we were completely sane and never dressed strangely.
Peggy says
hehe … yea, I wonder want the strangest thing I ever wore was … hip-huggers maybe?
Deanne says
Oh, gosh, stretch pants? Ew!
Peggy says
Not stretch pants, jeans … with patches on them … well just one, a strawberry on the knee … and big bell bottoms. Peace!
Deborah says
If you ever need to know what’s proper to wear, just ask Lloyd. Apparently he has the authority to decree the appropriate dress for various occasions.
Lauren says
Grrrr….don’t bring that up….
Deanne says
I was thinking of my own fashion adventures…
Lauren says
My personal best outfit? My acid-washed jeans, pinch-rolled up at the bottom to show off my pink and yellow (layered) socks, that had SUSPENDERS that went over my pink and yellow (layered and rolled at the sleeves) t-shirt. Rock on, ’80s!!
Jill says
Hey I remember that outfit you were rockin’ back then. Darn it those WERE the good old days.
Peggy says
Oh do show us a picture of you in that cool outfit!
Peggy says
… desert boots, not to be confused with wallabies …
Annette says
I thought the models were nude?
Peggy says
That 1st picture looks awful familiar … are you sure you werent’ in Venice last night …

They do say that Lincoln is the Venice of the central US. I hear it all the time.
Deborah says
I had mint green pants (not rolled at the bottom because they were already very narrow); mint green, pink and white shirt; and mint green suspenders. And white sandle/shoes with no socks. I got my school picture taken in that. Too bad they couldn’t get the shoes in the picture.
Karla says
I could never dress that fashionably -- stupid hand-me-downs…
Beth says
Mine was a pair of peach pants, pinch-rolled at the bottom, with mint green socks, mint green short sleeve sweater, and a “belt”, which was really a long length of finished narrow fabric (light yellow, mint green and peach making some sort of Venice scene) that I tied it in a bow a little left of center so the two ends of the tie would hang down my left leg.
I wore it with some rockin’ white jazz shoes.
