My grandparents lived in Kearney for about 20 years.
Always enjoyed the place. Saw Jaden Scwhartz play a hockey game up there for the USHL before he was big shit and remembered who he was because he was just clearly better than everyone else on the ice.
Played a whole lot of football w/ the uncles/cousins at that little park w/ the tennis courts and the kinda strange concrete creek thing that runs around the little nature area in the middle. And burned the hell out of my legs a few times on that big stainless shiny silver triangle 'slide' that would essentially go thermonuclear when the sun shined on it in August.
Not sure I've ever seen that fountain actually working but it made a great place to run a remote control car and the open baseball diamond was always good to kill a few hours taking grounders.
Kinda boring but still neat little town. Never understood why so many conventions took place there but it's really kept the area relevant.
