This is on the agenda for the March meeting of the Planning board: The Kingsley This calls for 200 apartments with "structured parking and numerous amenities". ASLAN and Burlington Capital are involved. This appears to be a tear-down of the existing office buildings, as opposed to the effo...

I'm not familiar with the details of Omaha's "home rule charter", but this seems to fly in the face of "home rule".

It's been a long time, but Lansky's was our go to for work lunches. It was good enough to justify driving from 108th and John Galt to 50th and L.

I had my driveway replaced back in September. We still haven't had a heavy enough rain to wash away the grit and sand that remains at the end of the driveway and further down the street.

We see them occasionally on the east end of Harvey Oaks (144th north of Center)

Does anyone know of a webcam in the area of the library demolition?

I remember winning prizes from KOIL on the phone a couple of times in the early 70's. I rode my bike from Sunset Hills to 90th and Indian Hills Dr to pick up my Partridge Family T-shirt!

Looks like there's a second location of Sinful Burger opening soon at 144th and W Center, by the Family Fare.

W Center Frontage road from 94th to 97th.
Old Lincoln Highway from 174th and Burt to about 188th or so.

I've moved from Fiserv to CSG within the last year. CSG has vacated the building at 18010 Burt and is reworking the building at 18020 Burt. They are letting most employees work from home OR go to the office.

I think it was this: Hovenring

Thanks! It was a milestone bday, with a nice BBQ dinner!
Where did you have your 60th Birthday dinner?

We got takeout from Porky Butts. I would have preferred Tired Texan <this time>, but their hours are fairly irregular right now.

I think that's the corner where a house had dozens of hubcaps in the front yard back in the '70s

Several years ago, we walked around the Beale Street area. We stopped at several bars and BBQ joints, having a drink and an appetizer at each one.

I have a CD-ROM containing a slideshow with music that was created about 20 years ago using "Kai's Power Show". The only PC that I can play it on is a Win-7 32-bit laptop. The "player" software just won't run on my Win-7 64-bit or my Win-10 machine. Is anyone familiar with this s...

Good show this week, but I wish the audio levels between the various participants were more balanced. I had to turn the volume way up to hear Jay, which caused Jeff to sound way too loud.

I think that it's just the premium lots close to the church that are sold out.

Are you also a Grad from Alex Payne? You are not the only from around here, I am also a ‘79 Prep grad…

Yes, I remember Alex from Jazz band (and most likely a class or two?).

Looking at the Omaha Master Plan, there were plans to connect 180th from Ida to Military/Rainwood. Does anyone know if that is still planned now that they plopped this lake in the way? It looks like it could still be done (i,e, 168th and Zorinsky) as the lake gets narrow to the north. The DC Assess...

I grew up at 93rd and Pine, and remember many details about the area. In 1975, DQ was behind a gas station on the SE corner of 90th and W Center, and Shakey's was the next building south. The NW corner had an Amoco station with the House of Pie just to the west. Putt-Putt Golf was further back on th...

Wow, that looks nice! I grew up 1/2 mile SE of here. We used to play football in the empty lot just to the east of this property.

I would like to see the OakView B&N move to Westroads. Ever since they built that connector road behind AMC, I've had a feeling that the B&N is sitting in exactly the wrong spot. The connector road comes out on the NE corner of B&N, but the light is on the west side, and basically conne...

I grew up just west of Westside and graduated from Prep in 1979. Dropped out of college and worked at several strange jobs until I got into computers, which landed me at Mutual of Omaha in 1985 and then First Data (now Fiserv) in 1989. Still at Fiserv, although it's getting tiresome. I'm married, wi...

I remember seeing Peter Citron interviewing Bob Hope at the Putt-Putt at 90th and Center when I was a kid. My dad had learned of the unpublicized event, so all the neighborhood kids went down to cheer for Bob's putting skills!

Are there penalties for W-2 taxpayers who wait until May 17 to pay? I ended up being under-withheld by about 6% for 2020 full-year Federal taxes.

I just learned elsewhere that this was originally a home game for Nebraska in the rotation. Both schools agreed to move it to Omaha because at the time they agreed to do this there was a better chance that some fans could be in the stands in Omaha vs. Lincoln. This would make sense as to why the B1...

I live on a cul-de-sac with only 4 houses and driveways. It's a pretty short circle. The truck had to do a LOT of backing and turning to get to all of the cans.
