Re: Tiny Homes

Tiny Homes is just gaining momentum. Actually a Tiny Homes neighborhood somewhere in Omaha would be awesome. Herb Freeman's (Where did you go Herb?) TND on State St. had a few designed in. I'd like to see some tiny homes on some of the vacant lots in North Omaha. Presumably, smaller = cheaper. I'd ...

Re: West Farms/South Farms (144th Dodge/Pacific)

I am very excited for this project and truly hope that it pans out they way they are planning. Omaha is in desparate need of this kind of development thats uses styling from the older neighborhoods and makes it (hopefully) more affordable.

Re: OPPD Rate Increases

Re: OPPD Rate Increases

What most people don't seem to realize are ALL the costs that go in to delivering a utility to your house. With ever increasing environmental regulations and the push for "clean power", the cost to bring that to a home and keep it reliable goes up. Just because you use less power than me,...

They're in their early 60s and still playing like they were 20 years ago. These guys never partied, did drugs, rarely drank, and were married most of their careers. Probably the healthiest "rockstars" around.

Re: Restaurant: Impossible is headed to Bene Pizza

I would not even know this place existed if it were not for the pinball machines they have, sell and promote. I was under the impression that the pinball machines were kind of what made this place cool and unique. I predict the so called professionals will come in and say "loose the pinball ma...
