Re: Historic Street Names
Thanks for the information! I knew I'd left some of them out.

Re: Historic Street Names
In the original core of downtown, the street names are also alphabetical north to south: Burt, Cuming, Davenport, Dodge, Douglas, Farnam, Harney, Jackson...I think they're all names of American generals, maybe someone can confirm that (or not)?

Re: Family Fare - No Frills - Bag N Save
The Saddle Creek store is the one I shop at most, being fairly close to me. I'm disgusted with the snotty comments on here. That particular store serves a very under-served lower-income neighborhood. Many people don't have cars and they can take the bus or walk there. It's always busy whenever I go ...

Re: Benson
I followed that link but their font color is so light, and so small, I couldn't read it. I could embiggen it but the light gray color is not only unreadable, it's offensive. So many web sites are using that now that I have to believe they are deliberately disinviting certain readers. Like me.

Re: Historic Street Names
Well, I was wrong, wasn't I - but at least I triggered a small outburst of info-sharing. Thanks, guys! Looks like *my* history-reading needs a growth spurt.

Re: Historic Street Names
Ah - good to know. Was that who the Dodge House is named after, too?

Re: Omaha's "String of Pearls"
I'm arriving late to this discussion, but one thing struck me: Why don't they *already* have "hats" over the top - hasn't anyone in this city ever heard of light pollution? Cities all over the globe are capping their street lights to curb light pollution. Seems to me caps would solve two p...

Re: Historic Street Names
This is fascinating! I do know that a lot of the older streets, such as Cuming, Burt, Dodge, and others, are named after military generals - many from the Civil War, some (probably) from the so-called "Indian wars." I agree, one person who can't be bothered to educate themselves shouldn't ...

Re: Benson
The parking along NW Radial is dangerous, but I did see a parking pad in the rear. Yes, there's parking off 48th Street, around back. I'm hoping they will maintain it diligently during the winter months. Nice place and the one guy I met is friendly and helpful. I've tried their dairy and eggs so fa...

Re: Bag N Save
That's what I was afraid of. Dang it.The neighborhood fought but lost. Check out the Benson forum, it's a Bucky's.

Re: Bag N Save
I hope this isn't too off-topic, but has anyone heard anything solid about what's moving in where Louis' Market used to be in Benson? Last I heard it was another Bucky's, which we don't need. What we need is a grocery store!
