In a window on the second floor of a downtown Lincoln building, pedestrians might catch this "mask-up" poster created by a local artist urging citizens to protect frontline workers.
Messaging from the Lincoln city government is sprinkled throughout downtown, though often difficult to notice. Blue banners pinned high on light posts, like the one in this photo, offer words of encouragement to Lincolnians during the pandemic.
Three signs document many efforts to stay safe on campus: one for "sharing the sidewalk" with bikers, maintaining six-feet of separation between classmates, and one of many hand sanitzer stations.
Along Lincoln's art district, pedestrians observe cult classic movie poster spoofs encouraging citizens to be like The Dude (The Big Lebowski) and "abide" by mask mandates.
Take-out and delivery are now common sights in pandemic-stricken America. Lunchtime in downtown Lincoln is no different. A Door Dash delivery man rushes an order into his car while a Chipotle patron takes her lunch to-go.
An entrance of Love Library that faces Lincoln's downtown requires NCard to access the facility while also mandating facial coverings and social distancing.
