I'm so bummed they're closing...what's with all the decent restaurants here closing??? Â This, the Letter Club, Tin Star....hello!

AlmostinOmaha

Fuddruckers - YUCK! It was gross when I last ate there...15 years ago...I didn't even know they still existed! Â I long for a really clever, hip, independent restaurant in West O with a creative menu...not another outdated, chain restaurant...give me a break!

AlmostinOmaha

Good riddens Chammps...please, Omaha can do a lot better than that place can't it? Â I wasn't impressed at one in California and I even less impressed with the Omaha location. They don't have very good service standards and I'd compare the food to the likes of Denny's maybe... As for Colton's - Have...

Love, Love , Love that movie! Â It's hillarious!

AlmostinOmaha

Houston's would be good....but probably too upscale for Westroads.
I miss Ruby's too! Â Lawry's would be nice...or maybe a Wolfgang Puck restaurant...yum!
Wishful thinking!

Andrew - I'm with you! YUCK!

I've lived in Omaha for 14 months and had to go to basement twice since I"ve been here. Â As a native Californian, I'd take an earthquake any day. Â I've been thru a 7.2 quake( SF Loma Prieta 1988 or 89) and lots of little ones...they last maybe 10- 30 seconds and then end. Â I don't think ma...

Pacific Life only employs 200 people in Omaha currently...maybe 250 by the end of next year. Â Where did 3000 ever come from...I don't if / when that will ever happen!

I SO much rather would've had it a Marriott...Why did Fahey do that?

Cowboy - I'll take your exception about my definition of Omaha as a "Big, Small Town"...I guess when I pictured Omaha in my head before I ever came here, I imagined something bigger - a bigger skyline, more amenities (like maybe a Costco (yes I know it's coming - We actually drove to Des M...

AlmostinOmaha

Yes, having grown up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and lived in San Diego , Orange County and Dallas, I consider Omaha to be a big, small town. Fortunately, I've never lived in LA, CA and don't think that I could. I don't think that Omaha acts or thinks like a big city...at least that's my verdict ...

AlmostinOmaha

While visiting my friends in Chicagoland last weekend, they mentioned that while watching the CWS on tv, they were really pushing the benefits of living in Omaha. I don't know if they ran ads or it was commentary during/between games or what. But my friends commented that it was very pro-Omaha. Just...

AlmostinOmaha

Funny article. As a former OC, CA resident...I don't miss the traffic, the crowds, the snobs, or the high cost of living, but I do miss the hip factor, the shopping and being able to get what I want , when I want it at any time. Not to mention the weather, the scenery, the beach and the mountains. I...

Anywhere to rent a boat around here? I'm thinking a pontoon boat or something like that...

Where? Cost? Any input is appreciated ...thanks!

AlmostinOmaha

Most of the CA cities listed are on the outskirts of bigger ares...Ontario/Fontana are on the outskirts of La/OC. Palmdale, Lancaster, are on the outskirts of LA. They were the only affordable places to buy after the housing boom in CA...of course, I doubt they're affordable anymore and I would neve...

AlmostinOmaha

I just glanced briefly - it looks pretty good. In your advanced search, perhaps you should add a box for Pets...Dogs, cats or none...that would be what I was looking for if I was renting.
Great job!

Oh to be 21! Have a blast!

Who is the best...quality, cost, service, etc? Any opinions out there? So far, I have quotes from Diamond, Monarch and American...the prices are pretty close, but I'm just wondering if you had any specific input on the fence companies here in Omaha! I thought about calling Quality and SW too...since...

We have 2! My mom got us one from LL Bean for Christmas. It has a flashlight/cell phone charger/NOAA radio, etc. Haven't used it yet. We also bought one at the Nebraska Furniture Mart for around $40...It's a portable NOAA radio that you can clip to your belt, it has S.A.M.E. technology (which a mete...

I almost looked Jeff, but I'm not going to~ I'm freaking out! I'm off to the DMV right now, but then I'm back home for lock down! I guess I shouldn't have put the sandbox I bought last night (currently empty) outside...it's plastic and will probably blow away!

AlmostinOmaha

Yes, I do enjoy it after the scary part is gone. Do I need plastic? SHould I be taping it on when there's a tornado watch in preparation for the tornado warning? I actually thought about this, but then figured I was overreacting.

AlmostinOmaha

No...no one in California has an earthquake preparedness kit! But we all probably should've! I didn't mean to be a scaremonger...just practical. I met someone from San Diego the other day who just moved here and didn't even know it was tornado season...I couldn't believe she didn't know...that's one...

AlmostinOmaha

Welcome fellow Californian - you're coming right in time for warm weather and tornados! Make sure you have a tornado kit set up before your arrival....Weather radio (you can get one that will wake you up in the middle of the night if there's a warning), bottled water, flashlight, snacks, whistle, bl...

AlmostinOmaha

Thanks for the ideas. I tried Wheatfields for dinner and would like to try them for brunch - yum! I'm definitely not interested in the chain restaurants. I've frequented Mimis and Panera one too many times in the past 5 years and I haven't eaten at a Paradise Bakery since I had a layover in Phoenix ...

AlmostinOmaha

Haha! Poor guy must not have been thinking straight.

AlmostinOmaha

Ok...so I think you guys are nuts for wanting to chase these things. Can I just tell you that this is the most scared I have ever been in my entire life! My first tornado experience! And I hope it's my last...yes, I know I'm dreaming! Yesterday pretty much cemented that I am going to move back to Ca...

AlmostinOmaha

You stopped long enough to take a picture and embarrass the poor guy...I hope you took time to help him out too.

Twilight - Something I've noticed around here is a lot of for sale by owner signs. I had no idea so many people sold homes on their own! Anyway, aside from checking out realtor sites like cbshome.com and npdodge.com, you might want to try fsbo.com and any other for sale by owner sites you can find. ...

AlmostinOmaha

Initially I was thinking about capital gains, but seeing how slow the market is here, I probably don't need to worry about it. But I'm also not ready to take on moving the entire house again...we'll see - it could be sooner, you never know! Thanks for the info on SOMA, but I'm not interested in cond...

Welcome fellow Californian! We just moved here in October from Orange County...went to SDSU - We miss San Diego! We stayed at the Doubletree suites on 72nd on our house hunting visit in Omaha - yuck - don't stay there! We stayed at the Embassy Suites downtown - good location, nothing special. Restau...

We went and I thought it sucked...maybe 2 years old is too young for it.

AlmostinOmaha

I forgot about the Melting Pot - THat was one of my favorite places to go in high school...they closed where I grew up 10-15 years ago , I was thrilled to see it here in Omaha! That's a great idea - we love fondue!
Thanks Everyone...I'll add all you suggestions to our must try list!

AlmostinOmaha

By the way...Fleming's is one of my favorite restaurants...even though it's a chain. It never disappoints. There is one in Newport Beach that we've eaten at a couple of times, so I think I'll try something new this time.

AlmostinOmaha

Thanks guys...We love to eat out and if the food is worth it, we'll pay the big bucks.

Good ideas you've given me so far, now...to get a reservation!
