🌽 Nebraska | Lincoln & Omaha
Nebraska might seem unfamiliar and niche to many—think vast cornfields 🌽 and fewer tourist attractions compared to other states. But when it comes to Warren Buffett, everyone knows his name. Did you know he lives in Omaha, the largest city in Nebraska? Last weekend, we took a relaxed tour through Nebraska’s 4️⃣ largest cities: Omaha → Lincoln → Grand Island → Kearney. 🏛️ Lincoln | Pop: 300,000 1⃣️ Nebraska State Capitol 1445 K St, Lincoln, NE 68508 Built between 1928–1932 🎫 Free | No reservation needed | Guided tours every hour 🕐 Sat & Holidays: 10am-5pm | Sun: 1pm-5pm | Mon-Fri: 8am-5pm 2⃣️ Oriental Market Just a 5-minute 🚗 from the Capitol!
