Crete Nebraska
It came as a surprise to me that it was my mother who invited me to play the Nebraska game today; usually (and it is pretty much obvious considering the number of posts where Sammy instigated the game) it would be my nephew who was eager to get the ball rolling. As it is, I felt I needed something to distract me, and the idea that my mother picked up on that – as she always does – warmed me from inside. So we threw darts at my favorite map until we hit a new city – Crete, Nebraska. Which happens to be not too far from here.
Part of the Saline County, Crete Nebraska is one of the places where the Blue River runs through. I believe Crete Nebraska has some of the prettier parks in this part of Nebraska; at the very least, the parks in Crete Nebraska are tranquil enough to make the stress of everyday life fall away like a heavy shroud no longer needed. Doane College, one of the premiere liberal arts colleges in the state (on top of being the oldest four-year private college in Nebraska), also happens to be based in Crete Nebraska. Very recently, Doane College in Crete Nebraska was named by The Princeton Review as one of the Best Midwestern Colleges. Doane College in Crete Nebraska also happens to be home to a rather compelling historic district and a beautiful arboretum.
Crete Nebraska is on my list of places to drop by.
