I'm thinking it must be due to Bruce and TJ's presence here.  http://www.gallup.com/poll/161483/lincoln-neb-bests-cities-wellbeing-2012.aspxLincoln, Neb., Bests All Cities in Wellbeing in 2012
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Lincoln, Neb., had the highest Well-Being Index score (72.8) in the U.S. across the 189 metropolitan areas that Gallup and Healthways surveyed in 2012. Also in the top 10 are Boulder, Colo.; Provo-Orem, Utah; Ann Arbor, Mich.; Honolulu, Hawaii; Fort Collins-Loveland, Colo.; and Burlington-South Burlington, Vt.

Wow. Cool honor. Omaha recently received a similar honor as well. I believe it was voted one of the best places to raise a family if I'm not mistaken.

I wonder what the criteria was?
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Clean air, lots of flat land, good football and poor weather.

I wonder what the criteria was? The "Well Being Index" is measured across a number of different criteria. http://www.well-beingindex.com/

I think Lincoln is one of the better cities to live in that I have visited. This, in spite of TJ's munitions and charcoal factory.

Have the results of that on-line survey for dentists offices, etc. ever been published?

I love Lincoln, NE. It just makes me claustrophobic getting there in the summer or winter.
Corn to the skyline along the roadsides in the summer.
Snow to the skyline along the roadsides in the winter.
The people are wonderful. The city is wonderful.

Ever since I left the beautiful white (and frozen) shores of Lake Superior in the late '60s, I've never before plowed this much snow in March. I've wanted to plow (using a 2-bottom plow, not a snow plow) for at least a month. There is still at least six inches of snow on the garden area. The chickens won't even come out of the coop. The fish in the ponds aren't much better -- actually, the upper pond is still frozen over, with several inches of snow on the ice.

Never been to NE, but am sure it is nice.
MI is really not too bad either. The State recently took over control of Detroit, so once that cesspool of corruption is cleaned up, it may get nicer here.

The people are wonderful. The city is wonderful. As a lifer Lincolnite as well as my folks, 3 brothers and their respective families, there may not be much here in Lincoln but comments like that really remind us of how good we have it. It truly is a great place to live, especially having all the family here as well. Thanks for the kudos Catmandoo! PS - As my location says Walton, NE, as of last March I now life on a farm which is 2 miles East of Lincoln. Which is also why I now have a pond to manage

I recently got to hang out with Bruce and TJ. Truly 2 of the greatest guys I've ever met!

Have the results of that on-line survey for dentists offices, etc. ever been published? I think in about three days.

JKB, Ken, James, et al - you're welcome, anytime. I'll turn off the feeders a few days before your arrival so we can have a hot bite, then maybe celebrate our comraderie by sacrificing a little plot of the farm via flash powder, and retire to Bruce's and watch him maime BG to feed to his porpoises, er, LMB.

Flashpowder? hhhmmmmm......sounds very interesting. I'll give you heads up.
I also got to see the feeding frenzy. Biggest dern Bass I ever did see! Heck I been known to filet fish smaller than what he was feeding them!

Note that Bruce will sacrifice most anything to win. That was made entirely clear with the House of Pain survey.
I am starting to doubt this latest Lincoln - best place to live survey.
