Popeye's at 54th & L is getting a $195k renovation. Make that a former Wendy's at 54th and L is becoming a Popeye's I remember back in the early/mid 90’s Popeyes had a location a bit further east around 40th and L. I was disappointed it closed. Good to see them moving back into this area... Cia...

Although sad the lagoon is a thing of the past, I'm almost looking forward to the change of having this straight horizontal line at the base of the twins & Woodmen looking west from the middle of the park.. Even with simply the trees now gone, the clean, boxy lines of the skyline seem more appa...

I’ll try to swing by before heading home. I’m curious as well.

The area looks like a construction zone right now. But if you take any pics, we’ll all be happy to see ‘em

Everyone has their preferences. Just like pizza. People love a certain place and others can’t stand it.. I’m no Stella’s regular by any stretch, but the last time I ate there, the burger and fries were very good. Dinker’s is another solid place. Haven’t been there in years.. I know back in the day, ...

I’ve had the sense the place never quite had the same “vibe” after Mr. Amato passed..

For whatever their reason, I’m sad to see another local Omaha spot I’ve grown up with close its doors...

Waverle is a local Omaha girl who returned home when she was hired by KETV last year. I agree, she did a very good job

From today’s W-H- “The team reviving Omaha’s Blackstone Hotel is working to bring back historic and charming elements, down to the tree rising out of the reincarnated Cottonwood Room bar. “We are making every effort to recreate as accurately as possible the look and feel, the grandeur of its heyday,...

They’ll be Crowlers from what I understand..and Brian, who manages the Pepperwood location, told me last Saturday they’re trying to get approval for filling a 16oz Crowler, in addition to 32oz... Ciao..LiO...Peace I don't think there's such a thing as a 16oz Crowler. 32 and 25.4 oz (750mL) are the ...

Weather around here finally looks to be pretty nice for the upcoming week. I agree. Looks like highs in the 80’s without any chance for severe weather for at least the next 6-7 days.

Omaha taking advantage of the state liberal annexation laws within counties..Unlike some other land locked cities in states who are unable to do so.. Thus losing population and tax base.. I don’t blame Omaha at all for going on “annexation benders” from time to time. The benefits are pretty obvious ...

Well, the “tank issue” must have gotten figured out (although I’m not really sure there ever was one)...

Moving forward- Let’s make sure commentary in this thread is topical regarding Oak View Mall, it’s Mousetrap and development..

Moving forward, posts containing anything outside of that realm will be removed..

Thanks in advance for your consideration...

The hail storm woke me up at 4am but a few hours later you could hardly tell there anything last night in Millard Where was the epicenter of the hail? I had hail all around the perimeter of my house, part of my roof and yard when I left for work this morning. Brad’s home location also sounds like a...

That does mark our first watch on the year. 2nd. Ha, I even commented on it. How big was the hail where you were? Didn't sound bigger than dime where in at. Lol.. Regarding the hail size, I’d say you’re right- it was pretty much dime size hail.. Just a LOT of it. My SUV was outside in my driveway d...

That does mark our first watch on the year. 2nd. We also had a Severe Thunderstorm Watch on 05/23/19 until Midnight.. This storm that hit about 4:30am this morning was crazy. Yards covered in hail. I hate storms like this.. Roofers will get some extra business courtesy of this storm... Ciao..LiO......

Something about the way it feels right now... I’ve been sitting outside on the patio for the past couple hours. Definitely a nice evening to be outside and enjoy a few adult beverages.. It does feel like we’ll at least have a heavy rain event overnight. I see that Tuesday though, the Omaha area has...

Oh please. Who cares if the W-H “foodie critic” gave Rosatti’s a less than stellar review. I read it and she was complaining more about the wait staff/service as opposed to the food anyway.. Hardly anyone in Omaha pays attention to these reviews, let alone Giordano’s.. Who is big and confident enoug...

Thanks for the chart. It is hard to believe that considering the amount of growth both Papillion and Gretna are experiencing, that why added 14 and 8 residents, respectively. I agree, while nice to look at, I think the estimates are usually quite a bit off. Yeah, if you look at Omaha it jumped from...

Timing looks to be overnight on all our next few chances. NWS currently has us at slight risk Sunday and Monday. Last I saw, Omaha is at a slight risk for severe weather starting late this afternoon into the evening. At just after 12 Noon, the conditions sure seem right for thunderstorms to fire up...

The lightening was extremely intense.. Especially between 9 and 10 PM... Ciao..LiO...Peace I saw some good ones around me at that time, but nothing intense where I was at. The same strike I see from afar has a much greater impact on people closer to it. There were definitely a lot of strikes around...

You know, I’ve eaten at Giordano’s in Chicago several times and their pizza is very good.. But they’ve been so deceptive and utterly phony regarding opening a location in Omaha.. So much so, that if the ever get around to opening here, they likely won’t get my business...

Cowboy, any opinions on my idea of an entertainment district be built? Lol. "Your idea..." Right. I'm sorry, that has been mentioned how many times on this big, bulky, ongoing thread? Believe me, you're not the first. It doesn't really matter, honestly. But, factually, that has been talke...

The simple, and most realistic answer is simply this- they are not “really” committed to the Omaha area.. and members of these “local company board of directors” have family looking for greener pastures because, frankly, they hate living in Omaha and naturally, a larger and a “perceived” more progr...

I think your idea is feasible.. and can work in concert with the entire Oakview Mousetrap area being a mixed use retail and entertainment point of destination.

I do wonder if Younkers will be a two story rush market that’s what is opening at the former Younkers at Gateway mall in Lincoln. I wouldn’t be against that at all. The Rush Market is a nice store and is well perceived by a lot of people. I wonder if they would close the one at Lakeside since it’s ...

General question: How can a new to market company like Toast have 0 problems hiring talent in Omaha while our major corporations like Kiewit, HDR, TD Ameritrade, etc. constantly complain about hiring in Omaha being too difficult? Off the top of my head: -Kiewit expanding major offices in Denver and...

Omaha Cowboy last week I privately messaged Oakview FB page and asked about Younkers and the fact the small arcade at Oakview is closed right now for remodel and expansion of new games and they told me that a BIG announcement is coming soon and to stay tuned! Well, this is some positive news that a...
