Most important local story in the paper today
I mean, aside from all the shooting stories, this story about Steve Kiene’s latest venture is probably the most important one in the paper. Given what Kiene has done in the past, I expect big things from this.

Spectacular! Thanks for the link.
If it works, great. However, lots of ideas have never made any difference in keeping young people here. I have been here since 1969 and the same mantra is true. Lincoln can’t keep many young people here. The salaries and career chances are too low. All amenities in the world are not going to keep people here if the income and career opportunities are not here.
Good for Steve. He could be successful anywhere but stays here because he believes in reinvesting in the community and sees the value of the work force here which he believes in compensating appropriately. Lincoln has a lot to offer young people; reasonably priced housing, fast and easy commutes, and as a bonus a great educational system if they want to raise a family. More employers (and residents alike) need to understand how good we actually have it here with a well rounded and educated workforce, a safe community with lots of amenities and an excellent standard of living.
