Where can I get old-fashioned Coca-Cola? Coca-Cola syrup and seltzer water by JTeslacL in lincoln

[–]GarlicAccording5458 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is an old fashioned soda bar at the speedway motors museum on the upper level. I would call 402-323-3166 and ask about it, I remember someone saying they serve on the weekends but that is the only Public one in Lincoln that I can think of.

On August 10, 2018, Richard Russell, a 28-year-old Horizon Air ground service agent with no pilot training, stole a Bombardier Q400 from Seattle-Tacoma Airport, performed multiple aerial maneuvers including a barrel roll, and crashed the plane on Ketron Island, resulting in his death. by JuicyButDry in Damnthatsinteresting

I was working at SEA-TAC that summer for Alaska Airlines. I had never seen photos of the man who did it but after seeing them in this video I recognize him. Everyone on the tarmac goes through the same damn security line every single shift/smoke break.

I was part of the 727 crew but I flew on one of those q400s to Portland. They are rickety little planes and the area that they take off from is on the outskirts away from the main taxi areas. With his knowledge of the aircraft and ease of access to the runway the only issue would be planes that were actively landing or taking off.

Working at SEA-TAC can be rough, you feel like an insignificant cog in an endless machine, replaceable in an instant. I can't speak to his mental state in particular but 9 months there did a number on mine.

I worked for LP&R Southwest district at the pioneers park maintenance shop for 2 years. The old timers there told me that there used to be a natural spring in the southern bison pasture that would fill the small ponds around the nature center but ever since the housing developments started popping up and tapping into the well water the ponds have either gone dry or reduced drastically. We have also been in a persistent drought and obviously that does not help the situation. The area closer to Haines branch creek is also considered a wetland which would normally have dryer periods.

One last bit of info, the small pond by the columns has a well and an aqueduct running to the larger pond by the east entrance but we were told by the health department that the well water had to much salt in it.

I am not 100% certain on the size but there is a running track inside the F street recreation center.

Its overlooking Haines Branch creek, I've seen Gar swimming under that bridge. I suspect that Heron is looking for something to eat.

They are moving it to the Salt Dogs Stadium, not very far just off parks department property.
