My quick take is that this is another boondoggle, almost as ridiculous as the proposal to build a 50k stadium for the Nighthawks. There's already a 6,000 seat soccer stadium downtown. Partner with Creighton to add suites on the east side, additional seating on the ends, and BOOM. With LED boards, th...

Is this second Cheddars a candidate for being Minarded?

I swear that D'Leons on 114th has messed up my order nearly a half-dozen times in a row. Nobody else in the family has this issue...but I never get what I ordered when I get home. (And my wife doesn't understand why I don't want to go there again.)

Can we finally do something about these AR-15's?

HskrFanMike

They have that currently...school bus picks them up sometime after 8 at community centers then drops them off after 4. Problem is a parent has to be there until the bus arrives, which makes it tough on working parents. Plus, Fridays are a half-day

For those of you ready to Google...that's at 72nd & Crown Point.

HskrFanMike

It starts with the registration process. They open online at 8 am, and usually are sold out by 8:10 am. So only stay-at-home moms or parents who can steal a few minutes time from their boss to sign up can really do it. Plus pickups are at 8:30 and 4:30, so it's tough for working parents who need to ...

I finally pulled the plug on the daily paper this week. Last winter, it was about $46 a month, which was expensive, but we grinned and beared it. Then it went up to $67 and we started talking about dropping it, but never made the call. This week, we got an email that said it was going to $94 a month...

Prior to H&H moving, it could have been that 120th & L was too close to 84th & L. Might still not want that move to occur until after H&H moves. Perhaps they didn't feel that Woodhouse had enough room in their 120th & L facility. I'd argue that the Huber footprint is larger.

Garden Café was quite a thing back in the day (1980s probably). They had a location downtown, one on 72nd street, one in Bellevue, and one in Rockbrook Village. I'm not sure if all four coexisted at the same time. Don't forget the flagship store at One Pacific Place, where Wheatfield's is now. The ...

LOCAL is likely the location, then.

Other candidates:
ColdStone Creamery (too small)
Maurices (probably also too small)
GAP
American Eagle Outfitters

The Sunset/Arbor Day plate with the Honey Bee script for Nebraska would have been a clear winner.

Not sure there's an outlot at VIllage Point to build a standalone location at...perhaps remodeling the old Pier One location on the east end?

Either way, I'm there. We go out of our way to eat at the 120th & Dodge location, and there's almost always a wait there.

Closed per Facebook announcement.

"We are sad to announce this SpudNutz location is permanently closed."

The way it's announced, it sounds like they might make a run at opening elsewhere.

I can one up that story. Last year, I went to Hy-Vee for one of their sales in the paper and found that they hadn't marked the beer on sale. It rang up at regular price, so I called the manager over. He went back and called the liquor department, who assured him it wasn't on sale, so I was S-O-L. So...

Had to pick up a few items this afternoon and went to our frequented Hy-Vee… they now have Traeger grills for about $700-$800 for sale, plus some Weber models that were well over $500/each. I’m guessing if they have them on the shelf ready to sell then they bought a lot of them to stock their store...

The Nebraska Examiner article indicated the new facility will have roughly 2k parking spots. The old Mutual facility had roughly 5,000 employees on site between the old buildings and South campus.

Lol good grief, some of the Twitter comments to Mutual of Omaha about this project :shock: :shock: :shock: People act like the old downtown library was nice or something.

The stupidity of the general public in this city is amazing. Reading through Twitter really shows we need to invest in public education.

With 4k employees who were mostly in a 12 story building just west of downtown, clearly Mutual does not NEED a 40 story tower. Most of the criticism thus far is that the library is being treated as a nuisance in this whole matter. What if part of today's announcement is that the new permanent home o...

My money right now is that we'll have a third bulldozed patch of weeds downtown in 2024 to match the Civic and Wall Street Tower/Lanoha boondoggles.

103rd and Fort would have been circa 1991. Pretty weird to think a company as big as Walmart didn't enter Omaha until 1991. That seems really pretty recent... But then I remember that was 30 years ago. Time flies. Walmart was a small southern regional chain throughout the 60s and 70s; it didn't rea...

I do think you had to grow up eating it. I've stopped trying to introduce it to people. I've had a couple of people like it, but I've also heard friends call it anything from "vile", to "lunchroom pizza squares", to "not even pizza as I define it". It's certainly divis...

This industry is not kind to women as they age. Look at the local female anchors over the years. As they age they all seem to end up in other jobs. Julie Cornell being the exception.

And as soon as the non-horse racing communities in this state convince the legislature (or voters) to let them open casinos too, the new track will be mothballed and turned into a parking lot. It took about 20 years in Iowa; I expect it to take about seven in Nebraska.

Went this afternoon; the parking lot was absolutely packed. But I was a bit disappointed, as it's one of the smallest stores I've seen. The meat department has Fareway's typical layout, but the produce section is tiny. I expected that they'd put a bakery in to supply their other three stores in town...
