Omaha Forums

With the NCAA Tournament going on right now, there's a bunch of articles out there on Omaha right now. I came across a series of blog articles from NewsOK.com: Welcome to Nebraska ... where they have Arbor Day, green buildings and mobster steakhouses Day 2 in Omaha: Lots more basketball than Day 1 D...

You can't do that - it'll just rebuild itself. You have to take out the heart. I'm pretty sure it's located in the tv section.

Like the announcers were saying in the video - it's too bad it didn't go through the middle of it. That would have made it so much better.

I love seeing Omaha on tv. There's some empty seats, but it looks like a good turnout (as opposed to Columbus right now). There seems to be a lot of people here for the games. Traffic was crazy on I-80 driving home today. It was backing up just east of 680 and I didn't see any accidents. And most se...

I'll say this - from my experience growing up, police tend to try to intimidate kids into doing what they want. There were times that I had done nothing wrong yet they tried to pull stuff like that on me. That's why I don't really trust them to this day. My parents even feel the same way after some ...

I hope anyone related to Sam Walton dies in a house fire. What makes you feel that way? IMO they are greedy heartless bastards. They'll do anything for a buck. They essentially subsidize their profits through food stamps and other government assistance by not paying their employees a living wage. T...

This really needs something. There's really no way across 680 other than walking the median. But to get to/from there you have to cross Dodge which is dangerous.

It's things like this that made me want to move there and is why I'm glad I bought a condo there.

I think it's a great solution for drunk driving, especially in cities without good mass transportation.

The new sirens are designed to be loud enough to hear them outside. Inside your house, you are supposed to be alerted by NOAA weather radio or TV. I know that sirens are only meant to be heard outside. I guess I've either always lived pretty close to one (not sure - I've never really paid attentio...

I would never use one. Why pay to have someone park your car? I don't find doing it myself to be a pain. It's just a normal part of my life. IMO it seems lazy to use a valet.

Yes, yes it does. I'm pretty sure it's the other word that has two.

That would be hilarious!

The sirens actually wake you up? I can sleep right through them.

Every time...

Holy crane city!

At worksite near Offutt, $1.2 billion StratCom headquarters taking shape This is such an amazing project. A couple things I found interesting: While planning the project, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers realized that the water table would likely cause problems at the Offutt site. To head off the i...

You haven't heard? That's where virgins come from.

3. Marijuana is still illegal (the merits of that are debatable, but crimes need dealt with, even if you don't like it.) Well the thing is - alcohol is still technically federally prohibited on Indian reservations ( source ) : Additionally, many tribal governments prohibit alcohol on Indian reserv...

omg, I almost died laughing so hard!

Jim McKee writes a lot of interesting articles about Omaha. I love them.

Here's another thread out there that may be useful - The Urban Residential INDEX Thread

Giant water slide down 84th Street in Papillion? You might see it this summer City officials in Papillion say Slide the City has submitted an application for an event featuring a water slide spanning several city blocks down 84th Street. ... Slide the City’s website also lists an event “coming soon...

Btw - I met this person at Goodnight's and he seemed really cool. Told him to ask here for advice. I thought I'd point to our discussions about each location. Any additional thoughts?

(Edit: Wow, I finally made it to 1000 after nine years!!!!)

I'm over at Goodnight's and both pillars are a moving rainbow tonight. Looks really cool.

Took me a sec to get this. I had never heard of it before.

MTO wrote:Is that building white and orange or black and blue.

It''s actually yellow and green.

Funny thing is - I've seen this in three different color variations (all this same exact photo). The first time it was blue and brown. The second was white and gold (that's when I posted this). Now I see blue and gold. Crazy...

I'm interested.

(Btw, I for some reason thought this was about the Spring framework in Java when I read the title. Then I realized where I was. Derp)

So I'm sure many of you have seen this somewhere on the interwebs, but I thought I'd bring the debate home. What color is this dress?

Either my tastes have no class or I've just been really lucky, but I've never had a big problem with their food. My favorite thing to get there is the steak salad. They're food isn't spectacular, but it hasn't kept me from coming back. To be fair, other than a horrible Reuben, all the other food I'...

The food is bland, overpriced and on numerous occasions terrible. I got the Reuben once. They make it with coleslaw - and it was terrible. How do you screw up a reuben? Right?! That's what I thought. I love Reubens and typically choose that when I go to restaurants, but I found this to be one place...

There is no threat to the first amendment whatsoever to churches when it comes to same sex marriages there is a grey area when it comes to business people selling cakes and flowers and stuff to gay couples for their weddings, but churches are in no way under threat. Except for the recurrent threats...

fyi - it's 2015 now

{Admin Edit: Thanks, now it is}

I wish there was more going on in this stretch. I was hoping The Highline would spur some projects in this area. The hotel on 24th is a good start but improving the look of the stretch between 20th street and Midtown Crossing should be super high on the priority list for the city. It would be nice ...
