I came to Omaha in 1992, and the Bagel Bin has been at the 120th and Center location at least that long. Â For several years I stopped there regularly on my way to work, and I was always everybody's favorite co-worker when I arrived bearing a bag of Bagel Bin treats. Â Panera's locations are more co...
