Re: Best Pizza in Omaha Tournament
Love this. Couple of places I have to try. The tough part is pizza really has categories. Neopolotan, NY, and Detroit to keep it simple. You would have to crown the best in each category, then pick the best of those.

I am all for continued development downtown. But after just receiving my new property tax statements, I hope the city isn't paying for it. If these ideas are so great, they should be able to financially support themselves.

Former head bartender/manager from Pitch in Dundee is opening a new bar in this spot. It is not a Trump rally location!
He wants a casual meeting place where you can get a beer or an elevated cocktail. Plans are for an outdoor patio and food trucks to rotate through. Look for the opening soon.

Re: 2023 Fireworks Shows
Based on where the fireworks are being launched, there is no good place in the park to view them. There are buildings and a huge bridge to the north of the park. Epic fail.

Omaha spends $ 300+ million to create a beautiful downtown park at the River Front. Then continues the New Years Eve fireworks in a parking lot? The way the park lays out east to west would make the viewing from the west AMAZING! I am so disappointed. Doe anybody know if they will move them back dow...

Re: Steelhouse Omaha
I wish they hadn't selected Ticketmaster as their vendor. I like paying face value for my tickets from the venue. I will gladly pay OPA $ 75.00 for Killers tickets. But I will not pay Ticketmaster more. Ticket Omaha works great for their other venues, why not keep using it?

If you truly want to save a legacy, you need somebody young to take over. Somebody young cannot get nor pay that kind of dept. To save a restaurant like this they would have to significantly lower the price.
