From neighborhood snapshots to trendsetters and photographers, our feed tells the story of our capital city as only the locals can. So give them a follow and whenever you need a reminder of how great Lincoln is—just scroll through your feed!
Wintery Locomotive Aesthetic
Lincoln Depot is always pretty—but there’s something about the snow that really makes it breathtaking. Head to Lincoln’s Haymarket District to see the historic CB&Q Locomotive on display for yourself the next time you get a chance.
Murals for Days
We could spend days talking about all of the beautiful murals located around Lincoln, but we’ll stick to just showing you this jaw-dropping one painted by Maggie Weber. Give her a follow at @magdalenamurals to see behind the scenes of her painting beautiful murals all over Omaha and Lincoln.
#GoBigRed
We just had to include a Huskers football picture on this list. Our city’s love for football is strong. So strong, in fact, that on game day, Memorial Stadium becomes the third-largest city in Nebraska. Talk about dedication.
Our New Favorite Burger
This burger snapshot from Honest Abes is making us drool all over our phones. Swing over to their downtown location to pick one up for yourself—and take a picture to make all of your followers jealous while you’re at it.
Who Run The World?
Girls of course! When we think of awesome ladies we think of our NSAA Girls Basketball Championship winners along with so many other strong and amazing female athletes at UNL.

We Are in This Together
We are always astounded by how our community reacts to adversity—whether it’s from natural disasters or a global pandemic. This mural, painted by many wonderful artists, reminds us that we are in this together, no matter what.
It’s Electric!
We love this gallery of local electricians getting the job done! Lincoln’s plethora of service workers are incredibly important to our community, and these photos are just a small glimpse into what they do to help us out.
Sunsets and Lilypads
The Sunken Gardens are always beautiful, but maybe just a touch more during sunset. We love spending the late afternoon strolling through the foliage and looking at the scenery.
Such a Mood
This adorable girl is almost as excited as we are about the prospect of hanging out at Zipline Brewing. Almost.
Art is Everywhere
This Everette mural captures all of our favorite local buildings and puts them in a whole new light. The creative concept, the vibrant colors and tangible personality practically screams Lincoln and we can’t get enough of it.

The Ice Cream to Our Popcorn
Indulging in ice cream and popcorn at Maize Popcorn is just one of ways we #treatourselves in Lincoln. You just can’t beat their butterscotch flavor.
Impatiently Waiting
This photo from Justin Mohling is of us, impatiently waiting for Husker Sports to come back. Because #GoBigRed is more than just a hashtag — it’s a lifestyle.
