Don't rent there. Awfully close to the big papio and your flood insurance is going to bite.

Lindstrom won the first debate, and the second. The third was a toss up between him and Thibideau. Herbster actually tried to lead the debate audience in prayer.

bigredmed1

Nebraska is windy because Iowa sucks and Colorado blows.

bigredmed1

After the sex stuff and last night's debate performance, I wonder if Herbster isn't about to fall some.

IIRC, the state made that a law some time ago to cut down on fraud.

That can't be it. There are an ocean sized number of boats portrayed here. That lake wouldn't handle half them. What will happen when the Platte floods into it like the Elkhorn did up north?

Neil DeGrasse Tyson talk with KETV Newswatch 7 https://youtu.be/qA0bCRPowD0 Neil DeGrasse Tyson talk with KETV Newswatch 7 He's an astrophysicist! Bill Nye is an engineer and makes a living doing the same scam. This is like me claiming to be a gynecologist because I've seen a pr0n movie. Leave it t...

Before I moved it was my Cheers bar. Nice friendly place - Dave and Becca have created a great place. I wish I had something similar down here. Cheers is funny because the other day my son and I stopped in so I could grabbed some beers to go. After talking to several people he says "Daddy, do ...

Casual Pint was busy but felt very relaxed. It felt like a good spot for non weekend warriors in their 30s. (I hope that makes sense) OmahaCowboy and I call it "Starbucks for Beer Drinkers". Just a nice warm inviting atmosphere. My girlfriend and I are double 30 and feel like we fit in th...

Buff up the Boulevard system that connected all the parks. Twin Ridge just dead ends. Nowhere close to a park. Along this line, consider a bike trail or driving trail to connect sports fans in town for something at Tranquility with other cool parks. A map between Tranquility and Cross Key Villages p...

Lindstrom wins again 2 for 2. Think I have my candidate.

bigredmed1

I see your point, but give the mods' power to overreach and the users' inability to defend themselves coupled with the slant left approach of not just that sub, but most of Reddit and the hate oriented slant of even other Nebraska subs, I think it would be wise to work on our search ranking and to h...

Coyote, I am confused as to why the Lindstrom story is under the Fortenberry story heading. Could you clarify?

bigredmed1

I no longer feel safe posting on Reddit after getting a life time ban on a sub for posting something that even other mods couldn't find objectionable. Omaha subreddit should be cleansed from the internet, but given the nature of our world, that won't happen. One thing that people could do is report ...

The Vals on 132 and Center is ok. Not like the original.

bigredmed1

It’s often a bit of a daunting task to remember the “good old days” accurately. But my memory is that the original Valentino’s prior to the franchising and maybe for first year or two of the first few locations had a much better pie. But then it all went rapidly downhill. This, or good old days mem...

Yep. Totally could have avoided the crime by telling the truth and cooperating with the FBI. Now, there are a lot of red flags about the FBI. They just got busted for some 700 documentable procedural errors. But still, someone puts cash in the back seat of a car and then suddenly a bunch of donation...

Yep.

Hope he gets real jail time. This was a stupid crime and his only defense was to make his wife embarrass herself about their cellphone service.

bigredmed1

Yes I believe sometime in the second half of 2021 that location closed. I remember (from my youth) how when Valentino’s first opened in Omaha (late 1970s?) they were extremely popular. Just another example of changing public tastes. It was the goto pizza in Lincoln. It was up against Godfathers and...

Crescent Moon's is amazing.

Yesterday, I had a cheeseburger at Rusty Nail on 144 and Pacific. Got to say that other than the burger being a little dry, it was tasty. Excellent fries.

bigredmed1

Their bad rep comes from the plethora of use once and chuck it stuff. If you know what you are looking for, or you only need the tool once, it's ok.

bigredmed1

Thanks. Too many local spots make good burgers. Probably skip this chain.

bigredmed1

Sickies? Have to say that it was not that great when we went. Any recent experiences?

bigredmed1

Those garlic knots are amazing

bigredmed1

Shirley's is good, though you have to be careful there if you are on a carb budget. I like Billy's Miracle Hills cafe.

bigredmed1

They charged me $240 this year for E-EDITION ONLY! It was $132 last year! Holy cr@p! I don't understand why anyone pays them? We have the Nebraska Examiner and Flatwater Free Press, both of whom write better stores. We have 3.5 local TV stations that provide faster breaking news than the OWH. Every...

It was about 350,000 people back then. Quite a lot smaller.

Nice to see it advertised. Went to the home and garden show and there was little or no marketing for it.

The Catholics may have invented them, but the Greek Orthodox have taken that ball for yard. Both of the GO churches in town crush it. St Johns has home made fish plaki and home made Greek desserts. Yes! I volunteer at this Fish Fry and the feedback we get is very good. Well earned and the tours of ...

I agree that Nicole was good. And, the marketing department had her sacked because of it.

The rest have been at best so so and worse from there.

Homers of the restaurant/entertainment scene.

Dan's track record on restaurant reviews is not good... But this is Omaha. Have we ever had “good” track records in this area? From the New Yorkaphiles in the 70s to Sarah Baker Hanson most recently, whose reviews were mostly a list of restaurants that we came to just avoid because her tastes and p...

Riff raff’s gonna riff raff. This might sound weird, but maybe it’s best to have that crowd all in one place, with heavier security. At least that way, those who just want to have a good time will know where not to go. With all that's being built downtown, I'll predict an eviction on the horizon, b...

I'm probably in the minority again, but I do think the Clark is a much better looking building. Swanson looks more like one of those trailer classroom schools on a very tight budget used to add classrooms. My connection in the library said that the Swanson library will likely go. It’s hard to get i...

My ancestors first moved into Winter Quarters. A second branch has three generations buried in a pioneer cemetery by Boystown. I was born at Methodist, lived in Benson, went to Clifton Hill school and then moved to Millard, and graduated there. UNL, then UNMC, then away for residency and fellowship,...

A friend works at the downtown library. She is pumped for this move. The work space is too small and the interior design leaves the top several floors open so they hear lots of first floor noise. The move to the Jones location? That is temp and the plans for the DoSpace area will be a long term plus.

bigredmed1

The Jones location is temp and they apparently are getting a quieter and larger work space and there will be a better long term structure in the general area of the Do Space.
