The average commute in Grand Island is 12 minutes. I can get to work in half that time. I live two minutes away from the shopping areas. And I'm less than a minute from the hospital, a thought that seems more important as I grow older. At the grocery store it only takes three people to comprise a line.
Grand Island is a green city.
I love driving to work early in the summer because of the peaceful sights of large trees with the colors of many greens and sounds of chirping birds. These days people in metropolitan areas spend two or more hours getting to work and then getting back home. Traffic on West Second Street and Highway 281 does pick up for awhile in the morning and when work shifts end in the later afternoon. People help each other out. This state does have its unique food culture.
