Yes, unless you count Eppley.

OmahaRedWing wrote: ↑Mon Aug 21, 2023 7:56 am It looks like the Long John's/KFC off 132nd and Maple is remodeling as well. It's closed and they just repainted the whole building white. Also, the size is gone.

If they painted it white, that says to me permanently closed. That’s what they did to the KFC around 42nd and Dodge.

Padre

And now 192nd and Q is closing effective immediately, while they look for a smaller location. They say they’ll open again in 2024, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Padre

The CVS at 90th and Blondo is closed and there’s a dumpster in front of it.

Or throw caution to the wind, and start with a Double Don!

Just rain in Benson.

Freddys has onion rings. I’d put them as somewhat better than Runza, but not as good as Don & Millie’s. They are also something that’s pretty good dipped in the Freddys fry sauce.

Thank you gentlemen :thumb: .. Next week, there is a large order of Runza Crinkle Fries with my name on it, lol… Ciao..LiO…Peace This begs the question... What will be your dipping sauce(s) and or sides? I've always heard ranch is the best for Runza fries, but I never bought in. I've dipped in chil...

La Paz Papillion announced on Facebook that they would be closing on July 29 due to staffing issues.

I assumed it was going to be at Ralston as well. Will be interesting to see what the ticket prices are. I also wonder what size venues it will be in at other teams locations. The two that have been announced are the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, capacity 19,500, and the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rap...

i always thought it would have been great if they could incorporate the museum with a few live bison or something, small pond with some otters, small aquarium, etc. Draw people in with the animals, educate them once they are there. I don’t know, bison need a fair amount of space. And we don’t want ...

I just wish Arby’s would bring back their friggin’ Potato Cakes.. Biggest mistake that fast food chain has made replacing them with crinkle fries, lol… Amen #2.

I think they’ve owned them for some time. They’re just seem to be consolidating the name.

I drove by this evening and I was sort of zipping along, but I am pretty sure there is a Muchacho’s coming soon sign where Angus used to be.

I was having my car fixed, and walked over there for breakfast. I actually had the meal in the picture, though I didn’t have sausage. The potatoes weren’t bad, but I really didn’t like the beans. It certainly wasn’t something that made me want to go back.

I really like Mangia's food... but last I knew (basically since COVID) you can't dine in there any longer. I live so far away from the Irvington exit that I simply won't go there to grab to go food that gets cold by the time I get home. Mangia, that's one I was missing. I had it catered in for a wo...

First, the good news. From what I’m hearing, there is an Arby’s where you can get potato cakes!

Now the bad news. It’s at the Pilot truck stop in Council Bluffs, and it’s a part of their breakfast menu.

I have not verified this myself, so if anyone else wants to, knock yourself out!

I’m not surprised, but sorry to hear that. It sounds like it was the same thing as with Getras. When the owner dies, the family either can’t, or don’t want to keep it going.

It is a combo location with A and W. I think that might be the only A and W left in the area?

Unless you count the one at Eppley, I think the next closest A&W is Fremont.
