And thats how the cookie crumbles! Â :lol:

And, I sent an email to my Nebraska Senator about gay rights, he wants to continue the dialogue. Â We should all directly contact our elected officials about gay rights!

SurfOmaha

I heard a rumor last week that a group of gays want to start a gay district in Dundee! Â But that's all I've heard. Â See we got people talking about it!

On IA case, someone posted on their facebook, the Iowa Supreme Court may announce their decision on a Friday in April. Â :)

SurfOmaha

Why didn't they just make the Stadium a multi-use where a variety of sports could be played?

SurfOmaha

If you haven't seen The Times of Harvey Milk, go see it. Â You can find the full documentary at hulu.com and its free. Â While Milk entertained me and inspired me try and get involved in more gay activism, The Times of Harvey Milk brought me to tears with its realism.

I thought you said it was playing at Dundee?

This might help to show some of you things you take for granted and may not even think about when it comes to treatment of gay people. This past Friday was my work place Christmas party. We had a DJ and people were dancing and they started playing some slow songs for couples. A co-worker of mine wh...

Seriously, if you are so opposed to gay marriage, tell us with facts how it impacts you negatively. Â I don't think it even effects you, period.

SurfOmaha

I just stumbled across this thread and I feel the need to call bull |expletive|. Those city-data threads have a very strong majority who support gay marriage. The threads got ugly when a certain poster flooded every f*cking thread with gay c rap. We could have been talking about the darn zoo and so...

SurfOmaha

Great post Big E. Wow, its just mindboggling how the dislike and misunderstanding for gays is seeping from under that closet door since my last post. Â But, like I've said before, its just one person to bring up gay issues, not far behind you'll see the real ignorance breaking out of those closet d...

SurfOmaha

Thanks.

Do you guys think their views fit the views of omahan and nebraskan in general as far as gays go, or do views on this forums match better?

SurfOmaha

Like I mentioned previously, it is a mess at the other forums, but I still get some great supportive messages from people in private. Â I think its interesting to note that this thread has over 230 views, but only 7 posts. Â I wonder which side of the argument they are on. As far as anti-gay legisla...

SurfOmaha

I know it is getting a bit messy. But I do appreciate the support any poster can give. Thanks for a post of hope. We all will be needing that in the coming weeks. The more people who support us but don't speak up, the more of a mess we'll have on the streets when we protest again. Â This is just ...

SurfOmaha

Thanks for the decent responses, people! Â How come the people at the city-data forums are such Â ******? Â You know?

Thanks to the passage of Prop 8 and the recent protest here in Omaha, I thought it would be a good time to bring it up on Omaha and Nebraska forums.

SurfOmaha

I'm with you brother. Guess the next state to possibly legalize Marriage Equality....NY? IL? WA? Try Iowa! http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-iowa27-2008nov27,0,4677334.story Iowa's Supreme Court ruling will be of great interest. Legal gay marriage right smack-dab in the midd...

I honestly think the only hope for that mall is to either renovate the heck out of it or tear it down and start over. With the new target I doubt they would do the latter. If they do the latter they should do sometype of mixed use development. Â There are a lot of businesses in the area, Crossroad...

SurfOmaha

I hope they do vote to be one city. Â They'll be harder to ignore with a population 23,000. Â I think might help them save money and got more projects to help Western Nebraska grow!!!

Why isn't Zio's Pizzeria on this poll? Hasn't it been voted Best Pizza in town by local newspapers? There's even one in the Old Market. ;)

Nice website! Â I'll have to add it to my directory ASAP!

Well the people who started this site http://www.recall-fahey.com must know something you guys don't! I just added this website to my Omaha directory this morning, I think it deserves all the attention it gets! They claim its was Fahey and his cronies who submitted the idea to the NCAA, not the NC...

This last year has revealed to me that there are some incredible people in this city who just keeps on giving.. Just a thought though, I would love to start a site to start recognizing people in this city who keep contributing.. Anyone think this would be a good thing? Worthwhile thing? An eomahafo...

Uffda - I know SD is about done widening U.S. 12 from the Sisseton exit on I-29 to Aberdeen. That project connects Aberdeen (and Webster) to I-29 with a 4 lane divided highway. I could be wrong, but I believe U.S. 14 has also been widened from the Brookings exit on I-29 to Huron. There are probably...

Capital guy --- those towns I am aware --- SurfOmaha was making it sound like they little towns that were growing because of the interstate connections. T.he interesting thing part of his crossroads interstate theory is Sioux Falls sits at the junction of I-29 ad I-90 and if you ever traveled alo...

SurfOmaha

Little towns like Castlewood and Estelline have benefitted from a connection to the interstate.

SurfOmaha

Small towns you've never heard of before! Â :lol:

SurfOmaha

I'm not saying the interstate is the sole factor in Omaha's growth, but it is an important factor, and its not just I-80, the Omaha Metro is at crossroads where 2 interstates intersect. Â We are a major distribution hub because of that. All the growth in the past decade or two in Nebraska has been w...

SurfOmaha

Its meant to help economic growth in the part of the country that never received the interstate highways they should have received when the system was built. "Should have"? There's no @$!#% people there. Economic growth, my left cherry. Ridiculous federal handouts to giant construction...

SurfOmaha

It's not like these roads are the typical suburb expansion roads people usually whine about here as they actually provide connection between the larger cities of eastern NE. Would you rather them remain 2-lane highways for all of time? Or should we build tracks so people can ride trains there? I...

That's just odd. I bet if anyone other than the OWH owned the property the OWH would be doing a story on it, but since its their own, they don't have to if they are hiding a big surprise. If they are selling the property they would not have done the demo work they have. Time to call in the HeartL...

Omaha must give them alot of business! Â Plus Omaha has a central location that is perfect for any nationwide business!

SurfOmaha

Its beautiful, I can't wait to see the finished product! Â When I worked at MOO, they had a model of Midtown crossing and the immediate surrounding area in the MOO cafeteria. Â This location will be the pride of MidTown if not all of Omaha. Â :)

I got a 72 for my downtown residence! Â :)

Try the Pullman apartments on 10th and Pacific, kitty corner from Lucky's Restaurant, the old Angie's.

All the Omaha Metro needs to do to reach the 1 million mark is to find the economics to get Lincoln and Omaha classified as a Consolidated Metro Area, which is very, very possible at this point. Â I'm not sure what the stats are but Lincoln is just a few percentage points away from being considered ...

SurfOmaha

A very interesting listing. Â Sioux Falls SD is ranking right above Lincoln, NE even though Lincoln city limits and Lincoln Metro population are bigger than Sioux Falls city limits and Metro.

I grew up in South Dakota, btw.

SurfOmaha

I'm all for the Qwest Center, but it makes angry to think that if its not making money we the citizens get stuck footing the bill, while the MECA board makes all the executive dollars!
