Nebraska's Painfully Honest New State Slogan

Most people don't move to NE unless they are getting a good job or starting a family. "Live the good life." was the original slogan. Living in the capital city a $1,000 mortage gets you a two bedroom house with a yard, garage, basement. Quality local government. Here working a 40 hour a week job single no dependents is actually rewarding quality of life.

[@psilynt1]

It's a slow-paced state with a slow-paced river that provides the true (IMHO) Nebraskan past-time. The Platte River is shallow enough that if you fall in, as long as you can stand up straight, you can almost always get your head above the surface. It's a perfect river to tether your cooler to your tube and float for miles. Public intoxication laws do not apply when you're a few miles away from the nearest city.

Chicago is honestly the worst part of the state, well, except for the entirety of Southern Illinois. When people think of Chicago in any favorable light, they think of a few blocks worth of isolated up kept area and overpriced attractions rather than the endless miles of abysmal infrastructure design, urban decay, poverty, ghettos, homeless panhandlers, gang graffiti, wind-blown trash, food deserts, boarded up shots, drug addicts, bullet holes in store fronts, and worse. Chicago and the surrounding area is a horror show at every conceivable level until you break into the suburbs; the place where people flee to get away from the ruins of this city. If you like suburbia, Northern Illinois is the place for you. If you like a textbook example of everything great and terrible in a city, Chicago is for you. And if you like endless nothing, corn fields, tornadoes, and the most Southern folk ya'll will ever meet, Southern Illinois has you covered.

wpl I dont know why it bothers me so much to see this comment, but its correct name is the Detroit River and it is a river. I understand what you're talking about, I live in NYC where the East River is not actually a river, its a tidal strait because its salt water and it has a non-directional flow. The Detroit River is freshwater and has a directional flow (It only goes one way, flowing from St. Clair to Erie), making it a true river while a strait would refer to a body that can flow in either direction depending on current tidal patterns. And being between two lakes also does mean its not a river, lakes are usually caused by inflowing river(s) being backed up by a geographical or man-made feature, and with a very few exceptions always have an outflowing river.

Actually, the only flat part of Nebraska is the I-80 corridor which is the old Oregon Trail route. The rest of Nebraska is vast green rolling hills, buttes, numerous lazy rivers, and gorgeous flora and fauna. Nebraska is an oasis. Our waters are pure, our air is clean, and our state govt is a non-partisan unicameral (not a bicameral.) There are no Democrats vs Republicans in our govt because they run only on the issues and can't say what party they belong to. We are the only state in the union that has this form of govt and it works. We were the first state in the union to have women on both sides of the gubernatorial ticket. We don't see color, or gender. We see people. We are only one of two states that mandates their electoral votes are split to represent ALL THE VOTERS. We are NOT a winner-take-all state. We have low unemployment and we know how to behave. We like everyone. But a word of caution: We'd love to have you, but if you're someone who throws trash out your car window, doesn't clean up your campsite to "leave no trace", or dumps things in our rivers...please drive on through. We don't want your kind here. We welcome those who respect the land. If we see you littering, or polluting our waters, we won't call the police, we'll just kick your ass right then and there. Also, we have a large Mexican population, and when ICE raided a town last year, the townsfolk immediately sprang into action, ran out in protest, and gave sanctuary to the immigrants, their fellow townsfolk. So, you can't come here and be racist either, or mistreat ANYONE...cause we stared down ICE, so we'll have no problem dealing with your racist attitude. So if you're a racist...don't even drive through. Go around us, Kansas and Oklahoma would love to have you. But if you respect the land and each other.... WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU!!

Ivone de Figueiredo - The Cavs (Cavaliers) are the Ohio NBA team. Their ticket prices were ridiculously expensive because they had LeBron James. Since he was traded to the L.A. Lakers, the Cavs tickets have dropped staggeringly.

[@ivonedefigueiredo9301]

Ric Vicious Thank you very much for the explanation. So, wow! That’s really terrible for the fans. I would have expected that hiring a star would make the team’s games more popular, thereby leading to increased sales of tickets and merchandise, while also being able to get increased royalties from game broadcasting. Pushing that increase straight onto the fans would probably upset them no end. I would have been really pissed off. Not being American means some references go straight over our heads so I appreciate the explanation.

I lived there for a couple of years. In school, instead of fall break (or whatever people in other places call that week break kids get off around mid October) it was called "potato harvest break"

And your White Satin sugar from our beets. Plus the barley for Coors and Budweiser. We actually grow more sugar beets than potatoes. And we have more untouched wilderness than the lower 48. We're also the fastest growing state in the nation and Boise is the fastest growing city in the nation. We don't tolerate a ton of outside stupidity though. People here are very friendly and hospitable, but will tell you shut your mouth if you get out of line.
