This has become one of our casual go-to restaurants since accidentally stumbling upon it maybe 2 years ago. They have a loyal and growing following, including many families. We have seldom dined there when small children weren’t occupying seats at other tables. Their kebabs are wonderful, and the co...

The museum’s March newsletter contains news that their existing auditorium, dating to 1931, is receiving a full revamp, most notably with newer, wider seats. No doubt that is in “large” part due to the average circumference of the present day American derrière.

You know what would help alleviate overcrowding of the parking garages? Functional public transit to the airport. I'll keep dreaming of a non-stop spur of the streetcar out there, but failing that any decent bus service that operates all day long would be much appreciated. That’s exactly how we get...

The Tijuana international airport literally borders the California state line. Many if not most of its customers walk over the border before or after their flights.

Have you priced paint lately?

Right now this all just sounds like a reworked House of Cards, but costing more and taking longer to put together.

In my time down here in Mexico people often ask where I’m from. When I say “Omaha, Nebraska” I’m surprised how many people from Canada and the U.S. respond: “Omaha. I think we drove through there once” or “Omaha, I think we stayed there one night on our way to …”. Of course I also hear “Nebraska, th...

I’m sure he has better things he wants to do at this stage in his life. Driving back and forth each legislative session day (plus committee hearing days, office days, etc.) during the winter months is no fun for anyone. But he must feel that things have gotten so off the rails that he needs to be th...

What’s the old adage: “Location. Location. Location.”

February 2024 is on track to be one of the 3 warmest Februarys since record keeping began some 150 years ago. It seems that the winter of 2023-2024 felt like it lasted about 10 days, with late fall weather lasting into early January, and early spring weather kicking in in late January. Of course mid...

Good to get it back as a property serving a purpose. Obviously it will add population density along a major arterial roadway.

For some, being homeless is a temporary problem caused by sudden unemployment or a lack of funds. Shelters can and do provide a transitional place for these (often families with children) to live while they get back on their feet. Sadly for I think most homeless the cause is rooted in alcoholism, dr...

This was very sad news.

I went to this mercado once. I left completely unimpressed. Frankly there is as good of or better Latin American selection at the Asian market. Nevertheless Omaha needs more and better niche food markets. The one off 76th and Cass is wildly popular. Jacobo’s on S. 24th is decent. Even the 3 Nuestra ...

I would say that the entire image looks quite unlikely in our lifetimes.

I’m not a hockey fan. I think I attended an Omaha Knights game once as a child. The spark of interest never caught fire with me. Nevertheless I recognize that there is a strong hockey following here. So, for the sake of argument, let’s all imagine that the NHL would decide to (1) expand, and (2) cho...

Is our “traditional winter weather” over and done with for the season, 1 month early? Actually almost 2 months early as practically every day since the last week of January has been much warmer than historical averages.

I believe it was Channel 6 that recently did a story about Vincenzo’s transferring ownership. They referenced a “popular Northwest Omaha restaurant.” Vincenzo’s is located south of Pacific Street. Maybe they should send all these TV “journalists”, and their copy editors, to take a course in geography.

The menu looks like there is a little something for everyone. It’s nice to see another small Midwest chain choosing to open up in Omaha.

I just read that there will be no MAHA festival in 2024.

They definitely serve some good food.

That was such a wonderful, gorgeous place.

This proposal obviously looks awesome. It’s possible that both the White Sox and the Royals will be in new stadiums by the end of the decade. As an aside, my first and only visit to the “old” Comiskey Park was to watch The Police in concert in I think 1983. The trip helped solidify my view that Chic...

This seems like a Grand Slam Home Run for downtown KC as well as the Power and Light and Crossroads entertainment districts. And I like the idea that absolutely no public parking will be included as part of this $2 billion development. The city and Royals are counting on a combination of existing pa...

It topped 60 degrees in much of Eastern Nebraska on Valentines Day. Such a sweet gift, and fewer calories than a box of chocolates.

Sonic typically is our only dining option when we fly into Omaha after 11 pm. Actually their cheeseburgers taste pretty good when you are starving. The tater tots are decent.

I saw the signage the other day and wondered about the place. Sounds like it could expand the food options in Omaha, which is always a plus.

I vaguely recall the old terminal of the 1960s, with the long south concourse housing about 10 gates. About 1970 the north terminal opened, which eventually allowed for replacement of the south concourse with the present south terminal.

I think that is a smart move for them.

From my recollection the Fremont water park is basically only open about 2 months each summer. We’ve driven by it in mid August and it was already closed. And while $7 seems like a bargain, does anyone think that the Bellevue place will offer prices anywhere close to that price? My guess is it will ...

So, can you get a drink at Charleston’s or not?

1. This is a very ambitious project for a small city such as Bellevue to propose. 2. I find the location very curious. It’s tucked basically into an invisible spot that not even neighboring subdivisions can see, much less traffic on highways 75 or 34. That intersection can be scary to use right now,...

The owner of Nebraska Crossing is currently in lawsuits with 2 area restaurants and Lanoha for non payment of invoices greater than 500k Safe to assume it’s likely the last two restaurants have closed at his properties?

No idea. Did anyone on the forum ever eat at the Julio’s that was there for a hot minute?

I read the story as to how this project has evolved to be now 1907 feet tall. And here I thought Nebraska had a lock with our state capitol building being the “peenis of the plains”. I can just see the OKC Chamber of Commerce’s new ad campaign: “OKC, Like Dubai, but with less sand and more tornados!”

Regular inflation, post pandemic inflation, supply chain issues, starting fast food wages at $15/hr. Take your pick. I also feel some companies have used this period of high inflation as an excuse to jack prices. They were going to raise prices anyway as a result of inflation, but some evil genius ...

I’ve been a Cox customer since they introduced service to our neighborhood in 1981. Yes you read that right. Way back then cable TV was about $40 a month for about as many channels, including HBO or any other premium add on. Of course back then no one had computers or cell phones and WiFi was an unh...

Par for the course. Omaha’s TV “journalists” seem to be sleepwalking through their time here. On Channel 6 last night they reported on flood warnings “for western Nebraska”. Three times the story referenced “western Nebraska”, while interviewing a lady from the Douglas County NRD speaking about floo...

Got a problem dining in the same building as Millennials? That's pretty weird... I have a problem dining in restaurants that cater to people who like to eat in noisy restaurants with lots of visual stimulation (a/k/a Televisions).

These new hotel projects are a big shot in the arm for downtown Lincoln, and the city in general. No doubt they will help boost restaurants and other businesses in the Haymarket district.
