Wow, it's starting to sound pretty serious. Caitlin just showed we're In the hatched area for VERY large hail. Not a good prospect there. I noticed the main chunk of what we get here is supposed to be in the morning like 7-10am. Some pretty inconvenient timing there. And another note, the main brun...

Tornado potential has increased today - especially in parts of central NE where there is potential for strong tornadoes this evening. From the SPC outlook here: https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day1otlk.html "Given the forecast strength of the low-level shear, strong tornadoes appear ...

ESPN is reporting now that the Coyotes are moving to Utah, so that helps Omahas chances to get an expansion team, doesn’t it? While I think we’d all like to see this happen for Omaha.. This remains a long shot of the tallest order.. But, if we don’t dream big, there is zero chance of at least the p...

Rain is definitely needed.. The understatement of the day post, Lol…

Can’t wait to get downtown again this weekend, walk the parks and view the construction site…

Since I’ve been staying away from Fast Food for the better part of 1 year (Since beginning of May/2023), I was wondering this year, who had the best fast food fish sandwich? I know last year, during Lent, I must have downed about 100 fish sandwiches from Runza, Lol (they were soooo freakin” good la...

I think there is a decent chance Kalk comes back..and I have a feeling if he does, the domino would fall and Trey comes back for his last season as well. I can’t imagine the memory Trey will have of his last game played in a Jays uniform was his miserable performance against Tennessee in the Sweet 1...

Well, our Jays season has come to an end unfortunately.. They battled, but in the end, Tennessee was just a bit better and made more plays.. Kalk, Trey and Ashworth are all eligible to return..I believe they all should.. Great Career at CU for Baylor.. I think the future is bright for the Jays. Jaso...

I keep hearing that the Nebraska portion of “Tornado Alley” including the Omaha area, is in the bullseye this year starting in May through June for severe weather and Tornado risk.. Any long range forecast/opinion on that stormchaser?… Ciao..LiO…Peace It's honestly really tough to know since it com...

I need to get back there for some carry out wings soon..

They’re so freakin’ good…

Huge game tonight..

It’s over 12 hours from tip off and I’m already pumped for the Jays..

By the way, that Jays win over Alabama is looking better and better; especially after the Tide knocked off North Carolina last night…

Now that we’re heading into what looks like a good stretch of weather, we should really see some significant progress on the tower..

I’d bet right now, they’re ahead of schedule

You mean WHEN the Jays win.. No, I definitely mean "if"! I'm not jinxing a damn thing in March! I told you the jays would win :;): .. In a crazy sort of way, the Jays winning the way they did in Double OT might serve them well on Friday. We’ll see.. On to the Sweet 16 once again!… Ciao..L...

The % threshold is flawed. And has been for a number of years imo. I mean, it’s their sandbox, their term to describe something, and their rules. If it doesn't the tell the story we want it to means very little IMO. LOL. I don’t lose any sleep over it.. Believe me.. But you brought it up a couple p...

Late Saturday evening game for the Jays. Might be worth watching at Omaha Tap House Pepperwood or some place like that…

Ciao..LiO…Peace

Saturday will be intense. IF the Jays win, hopefully they won't have an emotional hangover next weekend. You mean WHEN the Jays win.. For me as a fan, based on the way the Jays have played this season, just get into the Sweet 16 for the 3rd consecutive year. Any wins beyond that, are gravy imo.. An...

The % threshold is flawed. And has been for a number of years imo. 15%? Post pandemic, this needs to be re evaluated.. Many now WFH. Before the pandemic, the fairly large company I work for had a number of folks who lived in Lincoln who commuted to Omaha daily.. Of course, that stopped in 2020. But ...

The US Census Bureau is located in Washington DC. Believe what you want.. But there is always an “agenda” touching anything that comes out of the nations capital..This includes the US Census Bureau.. But we’ll agree to disagree on this all day, and it’s not worth a ton of time jumping into that rabb...

We really need to get LNK into the CSA if DSM get's to claim Ames... Agreed I have always felt the same.. Even more so now than 15-20 years ago.. A combined Omaha-Lincoln CSA (1.4 Million) would push Omaha past Memphis TN as the 41st largest CSA. Just behind Louisville KY and Oklahoma City in CSA p...

I also thought Kalk deserved at least Honorable Mention…

The Omaha CSA grew by more folks over the last year than Des Moines (and the metro growth additions were nearly identical as well).. Possibly signaling a growth spurt trend for Omaha with it’s many job additions etc.. Omaha CSA- • 2022: 1,013,668 • 2023: 1,021,156 (+7,488) Des Moines CSA- • 2022: 9...

Possible second round matchup against Dana Altman and his Oregon Ducks. Definitely. The NCAA likes to throw some spice in with their regional seeding matchups that’s for sure.. Happy to see the Jays snag a 3 seed.. Disappointed the Big East only got 3 teams in. They should have had 5 and I could ar...

What was the number the mayor threw out regarding development since the streetcar was announced? Something over $1 Billion, the original estimates stated that over a 15 year period it would be somewhere near $2 billion, so we are well onto our way to that figure. I am assuming they are counting, th...

It looks taller to me :thumb: On the grocery store, this addition certainly shifts the population distribution. Maybe tear down the state building and add a Hy-vee there? Only as an anchor to a larger project. I discussed this exact site when having beers with Omaha Cowboy last summer. Here's a loo...

Definitely adding a bit of height…

I also wonder, with the conversion, if the tower portion will add several stories. Currently, the development consists of twin 15 story towers..but the representative from NuStyle spoke of “the 17th floor” in the presser. Did anyone catch that?.. I wonder if the remodel will had some height to the ...

I can never tell when you’re dropping hints and when you’re actually curious anymore haha

I should clarify, this is clearly speculative on my part. No insider intel on this one…

What's really sad is that much of what they do with American fast food isn't allowed in other countries. I wonder what the ingredient difference is between McDonald's fries in the US and McDonald's fries in, for example, Germany? It is very sad. Because it’s all about the poisoning of US citizens j...
