👻 It’s officially spooky season! 🎃

My friend Melissa Baker is hosting two nights of ghost tours this Halloween season, and if you’re into local history, ghost stories, and a little paranormal investigating, this one’s for you.

Wander through Lincoln’s Historic Haymarket District and hear ghost stories and tales from its past, or spend a spooky evening at James Arthur Vinyards. And it’s not just storytelling, you’ll also get to try your hand at a mini paranormal investigation, using equipment like EMF readers and dowsing rods to see if anything decides to say hello. 👀👻

Spooky season is here, and what better way to celebrate than visiting some of the most haunted places in Nebraska and Iowa? FULL STORY ⬇️

Driving country roads always turns up a story or two, and sometimes it’s the ones people stopped talking about that stay with you the longest. Out in the quiet Nebraska countryside, a bridge can still lead your eye to a place that once had a real little settlement life of its own.

Now it’s mostly open land and memory, but that is part of what makes it linger. Rural bridges like this carry more than cars and tractors. They carry old routes, old names, and the kind of stories folks passed around long after the buildings were gone.

I’ve always liked places that make you slow down for a minute and wonder who came through here before you. Even when the town is gone, the feeling of it can hang on. 👇👇

SAY NO to eliminating the Nebraska Historic Tax Credit. 📣

There are so many reasons why eliminating this credit would be a net negative for Nebraska, especially for small towns, rural communities, and underrepresented communities.

But here’s the part that’s getting lost: eliminating this credit does NOT fix the budget deficit.
This money is not sitting in a pot waiting to be spent.

Historic tax credits only come into play after a project happens, after private dollars are invested, jobs are created, buildings are saved, and communities are revitalized. It’s a performance-based incentive, not a handout.

Cutting this credit won’t magically free up cash. What it will do is stall redevelopment, hurt small communities, and discourage private investment across the state.

Don’t be fooled, this would be a major misstep with long-lasting consequences for Nebraska’s economy, history, and future.

Gov. Pillen proposes ending credit that helped renovate Omaha's Cottonwood Hotel and hundreds of other historic buildings
