Virtual Lincoln

Whenever I get misty-eyed for Lincoln, I have found I can now get my virtual fix at roundus.com, which has some pretty nifty panoramas of various sites of interest in my hometown.

My favorite shot by far is the Men’s room at Yia-Yia’s

They you can browse a Google maps mashup showing locations of all their shots to date.

The quality isn’t quite as high-res as the panorama’s at panoramas.dk (my fave’s being the and Ground Zero Tribute )

Some reccomendations for future shots:

Zesto’s is still open on South but they were just forced to rename the place.

I’d recommend pretty much any of the Goodwills, the expired KMart at south 56th, the used record store on O street, as well as the nearby porno shop, and the newly opened Guitar Center.

OH nice, i’ll check out these panoramas, thanks.

I should hook you up with a shot of Intoxicants. I live right across the street from there now.

The last time I was in Precision (the new location) it was just a bunch of kids working. No Phil :( I haven’t seen him in ages.

And I just ate at D’Leon’s this past weekend. The Nebraska Burrito. So good.

You wouldn’t even recognize Russ’s anymore, well apart from all the hoodlums out front, but the building is all renovated.

I might suggest a shot looking down 17th street or really any main street either early in the morning or late at night - where you are the only car on the road.

I like to ponder the room we have here (the space between the notes)

If you could get everyone to hold a still pose long enough, I’d get a shot of everybody trying to hook up for post-bar action outside O’Rourke’s. The real problem would be how to get the clouds of cigarette smoke to hold still.
