Thursday morning Mama's Arcade was wall-to-wall people, with many spilling over into the outside area as all
awaited the arrival of U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock.
When he arrived, Schock made his way through
the crowd, greeting folks, shaking hands and even stopping for a
photo now and then. Once inside the cafe, he talked to his
constituents about issues in Washington. He also
spent a few minutes answering pre-written questions. Afterward, he spent time in one-on-one conversation with several as
he made his way back to the bus he is using to visit portions
of his district.
 Before
his visit to Mama's, Schock stopped by HartFit on North Kickapoo in
Lincoln and spent some time doing the CrossFit workout with the
group there. Afterward he took a minute to pose for a picture
with the group. Those included in the picture to the left with Schock are Shelley Coffey
Thomas, Victoria Parrott, Maddie Thomas, Ross Thomas, Corey Loercher,
Justin Ott, Brittany Ott, Jansen Whitted, Bonnie N Clyde and Carrie Nowatney.
