Triplets of Lincoln

The Triplets of Lincoln are a trio of related signs that watch over drivers on I-80 as they go through Lincoln, NE. The Triplets of Lincoln spent their younger years on 1930s roads directing people around what were then popular highways and are now considered scenic byways. As they've grown older they have moved to a more exciting, but ultimately less enjoyable role, of guiding people through Lincoln as they speed along the freeway.

The Triplets are sisters. They were born in Lincoln in the early 1900s and were huge fans of be-bop music. They even sang in dance-halls from time-to-time and drew huge crowds of people. They all took their families interest in even numbers and lively music to heart. The Triplets reached the peak of popularity in the times of the Model-T.



The first of the Triplets was shorter than her sisters. She always had a harder time finding dance partners but later met a man that she spent a lot of time with but ultimately it didn't work out. She was just to close too her sisters. They always lived together and sang as they did work around the house. This sister is found on eastbound I-80 directs visitors to the municipal airport and gives people the option to head into downtown Lincoln. This Triplets math is

$$2 + 4 = 6 $$



The second Triplet was the tallest and the strongest of her sisters. The Sisters loved French culture and cuisine and this, the strongest sister, was responsible for getting the harvest of frogs for a variety of different dinner dishes. She was thin and not curvy, kind of a beanpole, but had a booming voice that made the dance halls explode with excitement. She now stays on eastbound I-80 and has the same math.

$$2 + 4 = 6 $$



The last Triplet was separated from her sisters many years ago and found herself on westbound I-80. She was always the third wheel, never feeling quite as home with her other sisters as she felt she should. She loved the dance halls but she didn't enjoy the frog soup as much as the others. She was always a loaner and kept more to herself. Her math is the same as her sisters

$$2 + 4 = 6 $$

These signs are generally around GPS coordinates N40 51 47 W96 42 59, but they are specifically spread across I-80 as you pass through Lincoln, NE going both eastbound and westbound.
