Anyone heard when this will be open?  It looks like the outside work is basically done (and looks great), not sure about inside.  Famous Dave's website has it listed as a location, but still as "Coming Soon".

So, what are your favorite JJ sandwiches?  Is this a good place to ask that?   I went there once, had no idea what to get so I got something boring... here I come to find out (from their website) they have a bazillion different combos I didn't know about.  That's what I get for going through the ...

I've never eaten at said restaurant, but... is their ATM a privately owned ATM or one from a local bank?  Just curious if they try to direct people to the ATM so they get the 2 buck fee or what-have-you, and don't have to pay additional merchant fees for running cards. I have to say, I've had excel...

I drove past Summer Kitchen at 6 pm and I could not see a single empty parking spot. Now this is a great example of where a quality locally-owned independent restaurant can put down its roots and succeed where otherwise it would be just Yet Another {fill in a chain restaurant}. We need to support t...

The pictures are just mind-blowing... this has all been on the national news over the weekend (probably only because of the Olympic trials....), so I've had lots of family call and ask how things are here. I saw in the paper today that Lauritzen Gardens had uprooted trees and damaged plants, and it ...

Channel 7 said they haven't seen a storm with the widespread severity of this one in 15 years.  Crazy stuff. We haven't ventured out, but I live around 120th and Q and very little damage here.  One of our neighbors had half a tree fall down, but apparently it was rotten and they knew it was gonna ...

We live in the 122nd and Q area and had no damage... amazing what just a few blocks can do.  Also Brad, I saw you took a picture of a red and cream colored house across from the QuikTrip around Q and Harry Andersen - that house was for sale just a few months ago and I believe sold quickly (I was ey...

Shirley's is still around... or at least the sign is still there, I haven't been in there in years but I remember it being pretty good diner food. I'm looking forward to seeing the show... I can't stand Guy's Big Bite, but Diners Drive-ins and Dives is a decent show.  He eats some nasty looking stu...

I used to work at AMTD, and I swear I heard from friends that they signed a 5 year contract with Southroads not all that long ago.  Although, I'm sure that contract is nothing that you couldn't get out of for $100 and a pack of smokes....

I lived in Corby Castle about 10 years ago, those are the apartments on the corner of 680 and Maple to the east.  I liked the location back then, and it's definitely improved even further since.  Very, very easy to get anywhere too.  Welcome to the area!!

Long shot here... but is there anywhere in the city or nearby where a person can rent a Segway?  My husband has desperately wanted to ride one since they were released, and I'd love to set something up for Father's day for him.  I know Scheels sells them, not sure if they do test drives but I'd ra...

Today on Cutchall Management's business sign at 144th and Q, it says "Coming soon Famous Dave's 120th and L".  So it's definitely not a rumor anymore.  I wonder how quick they'll be able to open.

I have to admit, when I first heard the name Fatburger I thought "They made a restaurant chain out of that stupid Kenan and Kel burger movie?"   Then I realized I was thinking of Goodburger.  :(

Does that Austin's do much business anymore?  Last time I went there, there was only 1 other table occupied, but we were there at an odd time so I tried not to think much of it.  Also, they were doing a Sunday 10-2 lunch buffet a couple months ago, but have since stopped doing it.  Been wondering...

This is my favorite too, but I'm a Thai noob and have only gone there and Thai Pepper.  I had Pad Thai at both and liked the flavor MUCH better at Thai Kitchen.

I only shop at Bakers on occasion, but that particular store on Giles is always busy, so I'd be surprised to see it close.  Maybe the Supercenter's taken away enough customers to not make it profitable anymore, I dunno.  The Bakers around 130th and Q would be a better choice, there's rarely a soul...

We live in the 120th and Q area, and our water has been terrible for the past few days.  Called MUD this morning and they said they added extra chlorine to the water to fight the snow runoff, but it shouldn't taste bad... just smell funny for the next few days.  Since ours tastes like pool water, ...

FYI... visited that Super Target today, it's 1000 times better than the junk one they closed.  Hard to get to though (from Connectivity campus at least). I went there today, and wow is it nice.  The aisles are huge, the racks in the clothing department are spread out, which definitely makes it fe...

I saw a news show about this many months ago, and was totally enthralled by it.  The giant animatronic dinosaurs are awesome by themselves, but then they have people dressed in raptor costumes as well that run around and seem very real (well, as real as we can imagine dinos to be).  I am gonna try...

Hey, once you get into Omaha let me know... I'm from Lake Geneva, WI (D&D Central) originally, might as well be a Chicago suburb now.  :)  I've lived here for almost 10 years, with my husband and daughter (and another kid on the way in August).  We're in our mid 30's, pretty big geeks too and...

What building is this going into?  I'm not remembering a bakery building (not down there all to much). It's on Giles, just barely east of the 84th intersection... right next to the bank building on the corner and close to the road.  The building has been vacant for quite a long time... 2 years or...

Thanks for the review... I have been meaning to go here for over a year and keep forgetting about it.  

Here is the link on MCC's site.  I think the student sous chef used to make up the entire menu each quarter, now it appears they do a special new dish every few days.

I finally decided to register on the boards, after reading them anon for way too long.  :) My thought was Direct Buy, only because I swear the radio & TV commercials for this place have gone up tenfold in the past month.  I'd never even heard of them until recently, now I can't turn the damn r...
