iVo yawning at the awnings:
Stylish sun shades prevail

One of the most notable additions to downtown Lincoln store fronts are cloth
awnings such as these shading The Hitchin' Post, The Wooden Nickel and the Zoo
Bar on North 14th Street.
They're functional, good looking, fairly
inexpensive and are coming back into style.
Cloth awnings are appearing with greater
frequency on Lincoln store fronts.
According to Bob Rosenberger, manager
of Gerry's Sport & Ski Shop, 1324 P St.,
awnings do more than block the sun.
"We wanted something highly visible
out front, something that we could put our
name on," he said.
The cloth awning is also good for old
buildings, such as Rosenberger's, because
shade doesn't interfere with the original
architecture of the building, he said.
Awnings are used much more in Europe
than in the United States, said Corine
Simon, co-owner of the Skylight Bristro,
235 N. 1 1th St. The awning was originally
intended to keep the rain off customers
dining at a sidewalk cafe. They decided not
to have a sidewalk cafe, but kept the
awning because it is cherry and noticeable,
she said.
Many awnings are strictly functional.
They reduce heat in the summer and help
customers stay dry during storms.
Jim Balonade, manager of Lawlor's
sporting goods, 1118 0 St., said awnings
are becoming somewhat of a trend in
businesses. More stores are using the awn
ings because they look nicer than the old
metal-type that some newer buildings are
using.
The Hitchin' Post and Wooden Nickel,
144 N. 14th St., constructed the cloth
awnings when they remodeled the front of
their store.
"We wanted the building to look like
it did when it was built. The awning and
everything else is as close to original as we
could make it," said Doug Farrar, manager
of the store.
Teachers to meet
Elementary education majors who plan to student
teach during spring semester should meet in Henzlik
Hall 124 next Thursday at 4 p.m.
The application form, assignment choices and registra
tion procedures will be explained at the meeting.
