I remember that area before the Mall, then during the Mall, and now to see it with the Mall gone and something entirely different there is just...weird.

Re: Shucks (Old Dixie Quick's) 19th & Leavenworth
A good addition to community offerings. But, it was confusing to post about Dry Spokes under the Shucks subject. My first thought was that Dry Spokes was replacing Shucks. The wording above didn't clarify this, nor did the KETV story until the very last sentence. (They're neighbors.)

We seem to be missing the forest for the trees (or however that goes). **ALL** healthcare facilities are growing and growing.

I wanted to see what was proposed for Aksarban, as opposed to what it actually looks like now. Much of the information that had been ...

Re: Joe's Crab Shack (CLOSED)
Sickies? Have to say that it was not that great when we went. Any recent experiences? We went at their Bellevue location about a year ago. Didn't like it much at all -- way too noisy, way too busy. The food was so-so (in our opinion). Fortunately, the Bellevue location was far out of our normal tra...

Re: Fiserv
My contact person doesn't know. He only found out about the closure the day I posted, or maybe the day before, so perhaps they decide based on changing statistics?
Re: Fiserv
I wasn't sure whether to post this under Fiserv or look for a Covid thread. Sorry if this is the wrong place. Apparently Fiserv has just re-closed all Omaha buildings due to Covid. (Not a huge deal this time of year as many employees are taking time off.)

Re: Fast food (including BK) talk thread
Oh no.
I can't imagine two places further apart in "culture" than Firehouse and BK. One shouts "Welcome!" to you when you come in the door (reminiscent of Gates in KC, for those familiar with them) and the other totally ignores you when you come in the door.

White Castle was in KC until at least the late 90's, maybe early 2000's. We used to go to one off of I70 in Independence. Yes, they were! We used to stop at one on Metcalf. I slightly disagree with earlier comments -- I think White Castle had their own brand of flavor, probably a top-secret blend o...
