LINCOLN, Neb. -- A Lincoln landmark will close its door this month and then auction the memorabilia inside.

PO Pears Bar and Restaurant will serve its final hamburger on March 23. Owner Bob Jergensen said he knew he was buying a museum when purchased it 25 years ago, but now that he wants to spend more time with his family.

On April 18, customers will get a chance to buy a bit of history. The bar is full of significant and insignificant items. A battleship from the 1970 movie "Tora Tora Tora" has been dry docked for nearly 30 years at the downtown Lincoln restaurant.

Jergensen said selling the bar with all the stuff became too great a challenge.

"To work it as a business and to pay for the value of it didn't match up," Jergensen said.

So he decided to close the business and auction off everything, including the sleigh from "Doctor Zhivago."

PO Pears specialties from the kitchen will also be gone.

"I was sad," said customer Heather Nelson. "I love PO Pears. Their peanut butter burger is amazing."

"It's pretty cool," said customer Lexie Nagel. "There's no other bar in town that's like this."

Generations of 21st birthday parties and summers full of sand volleyball on the back courts will be over, too.

"I just got an e-mail, 'If you could auction off the memories, you'd be a millionaire,'" Jurgensen said.
