The Casey's nearest to me on 182th & Harrison has had a busted credit card terminal or cash register system for several weeks now, and they can only process "tap" cards or cash at the one register. I've made the mistake of stopping in the morning a few times over the past few weeks an...

Now that Walter Scott Jr. has died, are they going to reopen the Rainwood entrance to Cunningham Lake now?

jessep28

They really need to just abandon kicking field goals and PAT at this point.

I wonder if any of the stores flew the flag upside down whenever a kid peed in the ball pit?

The bickering does drive website traffic and ad impressions,.so there is incentive to keep comment sections around.

The WSJ comment sections aren't much better, and the retail price for an online only subscription is close to $40 a month!

Property tax records show a construction date of 1990 for that McDonald's store.

It won't be long before gas stations start giving away tickets if you buy a car wash.

I wasn't selected, but I did go though the Voir dire process for one of his cases when I was called up for jury duty 10 years ago. I remember being bummed out about not being picked.

We used to go to the original building with the arcade for birthdays and stuff in the 90's. I was only in there maybe 2-3 times after they razed the site and put that strip mall in. Besides restaurant tastes changing, and better local options, it didn't help that they were located in one of the worl...

Don & Millie's, home of the over-seasoned patty. I love salt. I probably over-salt most things I eat. However, even I think the patties at Don & Millie's are consistently over-seasoned. Oddly, their big seller seems to be their Taco Salads which I've never tried. I usually get their footlon...

I went into one location in Lincoln last year to use the restroom, and afterwards tried to buy an iced tea or whatever to be considerate. You could tell that the AC wasn't working, and the casher told me that they were out of either large cups, or something like that and I had to walk out.

jessep28

Things were definitely better when Simmonds Restaurant Management ran them.

jessep28

The 96th and Q HyVee had a standalone liquor store in one of the bays next door until their remodel about 6-7 years ago.

jessep28

There's plenty of room on that corner. Only the East building would have to go in order to put a gas station in.

I used to live in those apartments as a kid in the 90's, and my aunt and uncle had a house nearby. It's weird seeing the old neighborhood change.

Yes, I've seen it. It looks nice. I haven't been in there yet. Maybe someday I will.

It's still run by the same people who somehow manage to make it consistently one of worst McDonald's stores in the state, lol. Don't waste your time.

The gross McDonald's in Seward that should have been condemned just had a major remodel as well.

A women's team would probably need to be added in order to satisfy Title IX stuff, but maybe Division 1 hockey will be coming to Lincoln, haha.

I know people with those Honda 2-3KW generators for camping/RV applications and they are ultra quiet and sip fuel. If all you need is to do is run a refrigerator and maybe chargers for phones or rechargeable lighting, just get one of those Honda clone Predator 3500 generators from Hazard Freight. He...

Have they cleaned up the stores at all? My only complaint about Little King was that the interiors were drab with the 80's wood paneling and stuff. Other than that, I never had a bad sandwich from them. When I lived in Omaha, I would go to the one on 114th and Dodge over the lunch hour. I still reme...

jessep28

I wonder how many of these places are franchises?

jessep28

Chip James of Lockwood Development has bought Little King from the original founding family. They are building a couple new corporate stores, and intend to expand on franchising. https://omaha.com/business/local/omaha-real-estate-developer-buys-little-king-to-make-sandwich-chain-bigger-and-better/ar...

The outdoor warning sirens were for straight line winds.

Lol, the only thing I can think of when I hear that place mentioned is their E. coli scandal back in the early 90's. PepperJax or KFC? The first PepperJax didn't open until the early 2000's Sorry about the confusion. I was replying to Busguy's comment about Jack in the Box. https://en.m.wikipedia.o...

Maybe the lease was up, and it was an opportunity to get out of that strip mall bay without building new. I'd honestly like to see an established place with quality food and good customer service like Culver's expand in the state instead of another burger chain.

An aviation safety guy on YouTube states that based on witnesses, etc, the crash happened due to a botched go around procedure after a bounced landing.

Someone on Twitter I follow was eating lunch at a place next to a car wash with a subscription program, and noticed that there wasn't a dirty car in line. They walked over and asked an employee, and apparently people will do things like go through 2-3 times a day, and get their clean car washed afte...

Looks like it was a retirement or moving sale. Maybe they found a buyer to avoid any auction fees.

I don't know if this was mentioned here yet, but Customs and Border Protection is now doing Global Entry interviews at Eppley. This is a program that allows expedited passport processing back into the United Sates.

I round up to whatever divides evenly by 4, so at least 25%. If it's a buffet with minimal service, 10-15%.

jessep28

You high rise enthusiasts wouldn't like it, but there's a nice lot that's been sitting empty for almost 15 years at 14th and Dodge. The city could use eminent domain to force a sale.

Casey's General Stores is a huge company. They have over 2,100 locations, and their revenue last fiscal year was over $9 billion.

The three Bucky's and three Casey's stores that were divested will become Speedee Marts.

So someone considers Buckys a monopoly, and is turning a Buckys a mile and a half up 60th from another Caseys a Caseys? No, Casey's General Store has purchased Buchanan Energy, which operated Bucky's. To satisfy an antitrust complaint, federal regulators required a handful of the Bucky's stores be ...

The Bucky's sign has been taken down at the 60th and Center Location. This is one of the locations that will become a Speedy Mart. A Buckys becoming a Speedy Mart? Yes, it was discussed in the Casey's thread. Due to monopoly concerns in certain areas with the Casey's acquisition, some of the Bucky'...

I didn't buy it. I never heard it before and seeing Julie Cornell is most likely 60+, and Melissa Fry is probably around or younger than 40. I'm not saying it never happened, but a 20 year gap between siblings is uncommon. Not to mention, they look nothing alike. Niece, cousin, or at the very most ...
