Unbelievable that they just open a new building and it's already to small. This is a head scratcher. not really unbelievable, if they would have just checked in here with us first ;) I remember discussions stating 12 stories may even be too short, and they shrunk it down anyway. Dumb asse s. Umm. N...

I had been going to 88 Tactical about once a year keeping up with my shooting skills. I've always been treated respectfully by staff there, and I am impressed with the facilities there. However, in other posts in these forums, I have seen references to 88 Tactical as Nazi-this and Nazi-that. Can som...

Is one of the under construction buildings near 180th and Maple on the south side another Starbucks? Building design looks like it. On the staffing problems, Starbucks seems like it would be a higher margin operation than KFC or McDonald's. Coffee bean are increasing, yes. But operational costs are...

I wonder where Starbucks is getting all the staffing? I was just ordering at the one on 147th & Maple at 3:30 today, and the barista said I got there just in time because they were closing for the day due to staffing issues.

Never in a million years would I have ever thought that these silos would be treated as the Jobbers Canyon of the 21st century.

Marino's grocery/deli? Owned by Joe Marino. Not the same as Frank Marino's on 13th Street. I loved it the first time I went in there because the couple that owned the place were arguing in the kitchen area. Being of Italian ancestry, it instantly reminded me of growing up at home and I was a loyal c...

Senate unanimously voted to make DST permanent. Headed to the house. Afternoon/evening sunlight enjoyers rejoice. Schweet I’m in favor of it. I like the longer daylight days.. Can’t stand the dog days of Mid December when it gets dark at 4:30 in the afternoon..if I wanted dark days, I’d live in Ala...

103rd and Fort would have been circa 1991. Pretty weird to think a company as big as Walmart didn't enter Omaha until 1991. That seems really pretty recent... But then I remember that was 30 years ago. Time flies. I dont know how far behind the old LaVista store was, but I remember my friends mom w...

As for Target, Omaha’s first one was on Saddle Creek just north of Dodge. It was the 36th Target to open in the country. As for SuperTarget, the location on 132nd and West Maple was not only the first SuperTarget in the metro, but the very first one in the nation. Joe Montana came to Omaha for the g...

Just out of curiosity, what specifically does the main library have that you would like to go for but won't because of the homeless people?

Meeting with volunteers in regard to genealogy research.

I live in West Omaha, but work downtown at the county courthouse, so if I wanted to, I could visit the main library multiples times a week. I never, ever go into the downtown library because my job has me seeing all the police reports that are generated from homeless people causing disturbances at t...

Surprised we never got a White Castle, although I've never eaten at one and I'm guessing other than their "gimmicky" little square burgers, they probably aren't too special!. You are exactly right, but every time I go to the Twin Cities, I will drive out of my way just for the experience....

That thread devolved to posts of silliness.. And on an Omaha development and booster site, where many more private/business people lurk (more than anyone would even imagine) to gain intel about the liveliness, economy and sustainable lifestyle of our metropolitan area- for a possible business reloc...

If so, good luck staffing it. Amazon will have a hard time for their warehouses as it is. Wrong again bud. Amazon is going to have people lining up to get those 15 dollar an hour jobs. The only reason many businesses are having trouble getting employees is because they are paying minimum wage or sl...

A tunnel wouldn't work because the courthouse doesn't have a basement level. The only way a tunnel would work is that a tunnel could be constructed from the new building to the Civic Center, which would be quite a long distance going diagonally across Harney. There already is a tunnel that goes from...

Something tells me the Japs are not the dummies. They had 75,000 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Sunday night. Being of Japanese descent, I want to point out to you that the word “Jap” is horrendously offensive. Usage of those hateful terms have no place in these forums. https://i.postimg.cc...

I think the biggest thing to consider is that all the water in the Old Market has nowhere to empty into except for the combined sewer system. To put things in perspective, so much water came down so fast in the Big Papio basin that the Big Papio Creek at Pacific Street rose 12 feet in 55 minutes at ...

The verification of the wind gust came a day later due to a power outage.

Eppley Airfield confirmed they did clock a legitimate 96 mph wind gust as the July 10th storm hit… Ciao..LiO…Peace Can you confirm that somehow? Not that I don't believe you or the OWH, just that I checked the NWS wind reports the day after the storm and there was nothing near 96mph. TBH it's not l...

That’s a shame as I really liked the place. Unfortunately, this will continue to happen in this space due to the intruding cigar odor coming from the cigar shop next door. Along with me, I have heard from numerous others that the cigar odor was keeping them from returning to a great restaurant.

The driver who caused the accident was drunk. If he was sober, there wouldn't have been a fatality. Stay sober, stay alive. Not the fault of the station.

omahacacher

If you are looking for a restaurant being used as a front for something, the number one choice would have to be the Burger King at 138th and West Maple. The parking lot is always empty, yet they manage to stay open.

I’ve seen Mean Jean Stothert at a Starbucks back when she was a member of the City-Council. You do realize every time you refer to the mayor as “Mean Jean” that you are making yourself look juvenile? It’s unfortunate that President Trump made giving demeaning names to public figures commonplace and...

The pizza bracket is garbage. The only true winner is the number of hits to Sarah Baker Hansen's website.

Not necessarily so. Yes, Douglas County is in discussions with MUD about building on their property, but no decision has been made as to where. MUD owns the whole block. The HQ is 1/4 of the block. MUD also has an architectually insignificant annex (another 1/4 block) immediately to the south that i...

Hello all. We are planning for an OCT 3 opening!!!!! I'm being sincere. Why would a rep from a chicken restaurant, in today's politically correct world, give themselves a screen name of "chickenchoker"? Talk about putting forward a horrible image. Then I thought maybe the term meant somet...

I feel like it cannot be a 6 figure position, at least not in this market.

It was sad to see how far the Countryside Village Art Fair has fallen. The number of tents seemed to have fallen from 33-50%, and the amount of people strolling the grounds seemed lower than that. Usually finding a parking spot across the street at Westside is difficult, but all the ample parking sp...

Is it just me, or has there been almost no advertising for the Countryside Village Art Fair this year? I don't recall any TV commercials. The Village's website has no mention of it, and their FB page only has started posting about it today.

Almost all the trees and most of the outbuildings on this property are in the process of being removed. The "for sale" sign has been removed. Anyone have an idea of what is going in here?

The hostage situation on 140th Street is newsworthy, but not enough so that KETV, KMTV and WOWT need to have a crawl on the bottom of the screen several hours after this all started. There hasn't been any real progress in the standoff. If there's something new, then provide an update, but if they co...

Yet another JAG funeral home in a former restaurant. First a woodfired oven place and now a chicken place. Mesquite grilled or southern fried?
