Passing through Times Sq one day, my eye was drawn to this street sign. I thought to myself, wait a minute Lincoln Highway is in Omaha! It turns out, like Interstate 80 does now, Lincoln Highway used to go from coast to coast! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln...

Great find at the Omaha Public Library! If music 🎶, food 🥘, culture, spirituality, and the swamp speak to you, check this out! I’m proud to have produced a benefit concert for Tipitinas Foundation following hurricane Katrina.

Roy Ayer's obit mentions this humorous quote from a 1970 NY Times review at the Village Vanguard. Mr. Wilson went on to say that the fuzztone attachment Mr. Ayers had added to his vibes

When I moved into Hell’s Kitchen in the early 1980s the crack epidemic was in full swing and the neighborhood definitely lived up to its name. Rents were less than $500 and there were only 3 high-rise buildings west of 9th Ave below 57th st.
