We got something pretty special when we got Jean Stothert for our mayor. I trust her honesty and her decisions. Except for when she endorsed Todd Brunning for governor. How could she not see that guy was a major dick. That would have been bad news for Nebraska having that guy for our governor. All a...

There just about has to be Warren Buffett kind of money backing Buckys. Were not talking about a million dollar company here were talking billion dollar company.

Why does anyone care about a national chain fast food purveyor opening anything? Can't we already find better examples of this sort of food already here? Admittedly, I eat very little fast food (maybe once a month). I always try to direct my business to the local folks. I wouldn't trade you that ne...

A former Nebraska and NFL star coming back to Nebraska and investing money all over but we are not allowed to acknowledge this? :sly: Talk about sour grapes! The guy made millions in the NFL and is spending it in Nebraska and yet theres something wrong or bad about him because hes a former football ...

Bush Gardens in Tampa. Now theres a zoo. They don't have just 1 or 2 rhinos they got a herd of 15! And you get to ride on a jeep safari ride right thru them. They got a whole herd of elephants too. And how can Omahas zoo possibly compete with the awesome plants and trees that the Tampa zoo has growi...

Once again Thank you, Thank you, Thank you mayor Jean for putting the kabash on that bogus 3 million dollar bike bridge!

I am ashamed to admit that I have ate at Hy-Vee 9 or 10 times over the past 3 years. I only do it because I live close to the Hy-Vee in Millard and I am in a hurry. If the food out of that Hy-Vee truck is anything like the food they serve in the stores then no thanks baby! I am a fan of Hy-Vee and t...

In Trenton's defense this can be a pretty tuff crowd around here! I can vouch for that!

Just read in todays paper that the Bike czar is getting fired from his 70,000 a year job. Thank you thank you thank you Mayor Jean. That woman is the best mayor we have had in Omaha in my life did I say that yet?

I refuse to enter into a discussion with a guy who works at Walmart that has an avatar of a WWF rassler! Excuse me I meant a guy who works at Sams!

...preeetty sure you have your facts wrong, Grandpa. A) I believe NFM outsells Costco by a lot. I mean, a lot. B) The Sam's on 132nd, as of last year, was an approximately $120M per year box. Costco was somewhere in the 70-80M per year range as of a couple years ago. Could have changed, but that's ...

That Costco out on Dodge sells more merchandise then any other store in town. They have more total gross sales revenue then any Walmart in this area. La Vista was severely wounded when Walmart on 84th packed up and moved to Papillion. And then La Vista fumbled the ball and let the Storm Chasers go t...

I have seen storage sheds built in peoples backyards that were better constructed then that. I'm sure it will look a lot better when they get that big fake ice cream cone on the front of the building. "Rather crummy little burgers" the guy posted. Uh oh that don't sound good at all. If tha...

I do most sincerely and deeply apologize if the catastrophic drifting of this thread has left you pulling your hair out.

GRANDPASMUCKER

I do feel like they've cut down the size on the Runzas. They're still really good, just not as satisfying. Oh yeah they have been slowly scaling down the size of the Runza over the past years. Worse then that is Runza does not use high quality hamburger anymore. The cheap hamburger(pink slime) can ...

Th thing is, these malls are as much for tourists as they are for locals. They offer a wider variety of shopping for those in Omaha and Lincoln, but they also offer shopping for people in town for various reasons. Just because it's not common for all of us, doesn't mean that shopping still isn't an...

I was excited for the entertainment district of bars and condo's. Now it just seems that they are trying to fill it up with whatever they can so they can pay for Vision 84. I really have hate their 8% sales tax and will drive past their Runza/Jimmy John's and get my food 3 miles down the road. The ...

A new Dollar Tree will be opening in Millard in a month or two. Its going to be located in the Deerfield strip mall off of 136th & Q. The store will be located right about where the Walgreens was before it closed. I know this is not near as cool and exciting as a new food truck opening but its a...

Jeff Beals if Grow Omaha said the Millard location will be on a pad site in front if the old Bakers. That's exactly where its going up. Its right in the corner of the old Bakers parking lot. They started digging last week. I never been real fond of custard or the name Freddy, but I will give it a t...

They got a water park for guys like you to play in down at the Douglas County Correctional Center. They call it the shower area.

I went to a monster truck show at the Civic around 1991 and a driver lost control of his truck and it slammed into the wall and caved it in to the shape of the front of the truck. Must of been $20,000 damage at least. It appeared to me that having those monster trucks in an indoor auditorium as smal...

Exactly! How dare somebody have such a good and practical idea as to use that beautiful house for a home for down and out women hoping to get their acts together!

GRANDPASMUCKER

Poor Grandpa, senile as ever. The demolition of the civic and it's development into a successful living/office/retail district will HELP slow the rise of those property taxes you speak of. The new development will create a new tax base. The civic generates no revenue for this city. It's a dead anti...

I thinks its a crime they want to tear down the auditorium. Just like Rosenblatt they milk the tax payers millions for years to fix the place up and now they want to tear the facility down and sell the land to anyone with a half cocked plan and 10 million dollars. That's what they said the auditoriu...

About 2 weeks ago, on a Saturday evening, I headed out there for Voodoo Tacos. There was barely anyone in the mall. Heh, most people were eating at Voodoo Tacos!!! What is the matter with you? You must be blind! How can you not see that there are as many people out there as are at Westroads? :roll:

Popeyes :roll: So, what guarantees can you give me on the cleanliness manners of food preparers who have a restroom down the hall? Who go out for smoke breaks every 10 minutes?

I knew we were in trouble here when people were trumpeting the glories of eating fine food out of an old truck parked in Canfields parking lot. Sheesh!
