Good morning, Lincoln.

Capital Humane Society has launched Lincoln's first 24/7 microchip station (offering round-the-clock pet identification) to help owners quickly reunite lost animals with their families.

Lincoln's Solar Semaphore sculpture, a downtown landmark (since the 1970s), will be relocated as the former Centrum mall is transformed into the new main library.

City officials say the change will preserve its legacy and refresh the urban environment.

Travelers can book one-way flights from Lincoln and Omaha to Denver for as low as $29 starting in January, with additional options available in February and beyond.

Local residents will benefit from these budget-friendly fares.

The new service will let riders check ride status and connect with dispatchers while reducing wait times to seconds.
