Even though some recent political commercials are making it sound like Lincoln is the next location for a Snake Pliskin movie, we’re still popping up in all sort s of best places to live lists.
In case you didn’t know, Snake is the hero in “Escape From New York” and “Escape From LA”.
Anyway, Lincoln just showed up on the Cleanest Cities list of the 2023 “State of The Air” report from the American Lung Association. We didn’t have a single unhealthy ozone pollution day or a single unhealthy particle pollution day. And a shout out to Beatrice which also made the list.
Not everywhere in Nebraska did as well. Knox county got a “C” for ozone pollution. And there are several cities in Kansas and Missouri that got “C”s and “D”s. St. Charles and St. Louis in Missouri both got “F”s.
This does get me wondering if they count the days that Kansas burn smoke comes our way. I’m not seeing that mentioned. It’s not like it’s our fault anyway. Crazy Kansas.
