Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 6th of July.
Good morning, Lincoln.
🏘️ Community
Foster Care Closet of Nebraska is expanding its Lincoln operations to a larger space — it will open on Sept.
9 while continuing services by appointment during the transition.
Bill Vocasek has spent 21 years installing and later removing American flags along West Lincoln streets for Fourth of July, and his family and local volunteers have kept the tradition alive.
He asks the community for help to repair aging flags that suffer from recent storms.
💼 Business
The Other Room tapped Ethan Burger as its new manager and he brings a passion for craft cocktails (and fine whiskey) to a 13-year legacy.
Burger will lead the popular venue known for quiet conversation and expertly mixed drinks, set to enhance service for locals.
🎓 Education
Last school year, Lincoln Public Schools saw more families reach out for help to avoid homelessness while the number of students meeting federal guidelines for homelessness dropped.
The district is working to support those in need.
🏛️ Government
The Nebraska Department of Transportation will begin a chip-seal project on Highway 6 on Wednesday from reference post 326 to reference post 332 (work to last two days).
Drivers should plan for delays as they navigate the work zone.
