Living Big in a Small City

Monday, February 6th, 2012 by 

Upon starting at Hastings College, I had embarked on an adventure to a small city in the middle of Nebraska. Being from Omaha, it was a culture shock. No nightlife, lack of entertainment, and minimal chain restaurants. I thought I would hate it. But, spending most of my time on campus taught me how much more important the people are—instead of all the available activities.

Hastings Dining Dilemma

Friday, December 9th, 2011 by 

I have always lauded Hastings for the LACK of chain restaurants. We have the fast food explosion, but when it comes to dining, the locally owned restaurant reigns in Hastings – that is not such a bad thing. I cannot understand when people travel, why would you go to a chain restaurant when you can do this anytime?

Welcome Home

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011 by 

As we drove into Hastings from the north Tuesday evening, I experienced a great sense of comfort and warmth. We had been in Minnesota for just one week, for a granddaughter’s seventh birthday and an appointment, and we had had a wonderful time visiting with family and experiencing a new museum and interesting restaurants.

For over seven years I have come from my home in Nashville , Tennessee, to play music in central Nebraska and, believe me, I have my reasons for returning again and again as I do.

Interesting story in Wednesday’s Omaha World-Herald. It seems that some Norfolk leaders recently visited Hastings to learn more about how we’ve been able to build and retain a vibrant downtown.

One Stop Place for Fun: Brickyard Park

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010 by 

I know there’s one park that everyone in Hastings knows about and loves. It’s Brickyard. If you don’t know about Brickyard Park and you live in Hastings, I’m going to ask what hole you’ve been living in!

How Safe Is It in Hastings?

Monday, December 28th, 2009 by 

Ever a sense of safety and being surrounded by people I consider good neighbors. Hastings is a community that when asked about, nearly every resident will remark “it’s a nice, safe town—a great place to raise your family.” Several weeks ago a concrete boulder crashed through the secure, snow globe life I had been living here…literally.

City Dweller Comes Home

Thursday, December 10th, 2009 by 

Last week, I visited the big city. Entering the suburbs, weaving in and out of heavy traffic in the spider web of interchanges and exit ramps, I was grateful that I didn’t do that every day. The thing is, I did do that every day. For eighteen years.
