Excellent. I'm phobic about icy sidewalks and have had no problems with Benson businesses.

Benson, Nebraska - What are a few creative ways we could make Benson more "green?"

Mark WOLVES IN BENSON. On Saturday I was having a conversation with a downtown Benson resident who disclosed that he did not own a snow shovel. I found this notion troubling and determined he must have been raised by wolves. (Or he is an artist). Jason, at Leo's, suspects there might be quite a few such people. Be careful out there!

Mark CELEBRITY SPOTTED IN BENSON
Okay, so this is a riot. This morning I was removing all signs of winter from my sidewalk when I noticed a jogger examining the posted menu at Today Cafe. It was the legs that my got attention. I jay-walked over to attest to the fact that the food was very good. The runner turned as I approa...ched and, oh my goodness, it was Marty Shukert.
P.S. My recovery was seamless.

Joe Watson Joe's Cafe is sold and according to this mornings World Herald, the new owners will retain the name, most of the menu, and (drum roll) a Mexican menu! We've been needing some Mexican close to home for a while, people.

Will it be authentic Mex or Cornhusker-Mex? Either way, I'm going to find out.

Benson, Nebraska The end of the Benson Ice Rink?

www.wowt.com
Neighbors in Benson are worried they might lose their ice rink. Heavy snow collapsed part of the Benson Ice Arena's roof. Now some are wondering if they've seen the last of the indoor ice in Benson Park.

I left my 32nd pint of blood at the Red Cross on Dewey. I was warned to stay hydrated so I went over to Jake's after leaving my office. The Colorado hit the spot as well as well as the Corojo. Then on to Today Cafe.

Donate a pint, drink a pint. Or three. Works for me. I left two units of red cells there on Wednesday.

Benson, Nebraska Benson's Sam Swanson featured in the latest Metro Neighborhood News.

metroneighborhoodnews.com
Growing up near 54th and Parker streets, Sam Swanson spent much of his free time riding his bicycle through Benson, often stopping at the Hobby Center, Ben Franklin, and Tasty Spot ice cream shop. While those establishments are but memories for most, they are a little more for Swanson, now…
