I only used hayneedle one time because of the sales tax. I have checked out Jet but they seemed to be more expensive by almost 50% on the items I was looking for. Hopefully they keep the companies separate so they do not have to charge tax here. Sure I pay the sales tax from online purchases at the ...

A few months ago a friend that has been there for awhile said when they were part of ConAgra they were buying random companies that did not make sense for the Gavilon business. Now they are working on selling those pieces that they should not have bought in the first place. It sounded like they were...

...If someone there thinks that it is one of Infusion's seasonals, that does not bode well for their management or wait reputation... My only thought is maybe the Vanilla Bean was seasonal for Plank. I was more surprised that their "signature" beer, the Saison, was gone from all of their ...

Not Nebraska brewed, but Odell is brewing a signature beer for the Flagship Group restaurants. It is a blood orange saison. I took my parents to Plank of Friday and ordered an Infusion Vanilla Bean that they said was seasonal and were out of. I then turned to the Odell Saison that I only got half a...

Why not flip the building so it faces Capital St? They then could connect their garage to a joint garage with OPA across the street.

When did they start adding the additional designs? Last week was the first I noticed the $5 Military Honor plate and Sesquicentennial plate. https://www.nebraska.gov/dmv/splate/display.cgi?image=40 https://www.nebraska.gov/dmv/splate/display.cgi?image=34 They are now up to 9 different designs.

At this point Nick has a tumor that they have to test to see if it was cancer. Either way it is not a good situation for the new father. While I don't like how he relates everything to basketball and Creighton I still find myself entertained by his program everyday. He seems like a great friendly gu...

Twin Peaks Omaha does have good food, great tv's and excellent service even when busy. I go every three weeks or so and do not remember the last time my drink went empty. Twin Peaks Lincoln was very different. Service was so bad that we walked out without getting a drink or service 2 of the 5 times ...

Does anyone know why Jones St from 11th to 13th has never been fixed? I messed up and drove down that stretch last weekend forgetting that it has always been bad. I looked at Google street view and it was terrible all the way back in 2011 and 2007. Without driving all over the road at 5mph I would h...

The City Council voted to ask the Liquor Commission to not issue Taza Hookah Lounge a liquor license. I wonder why they do not use the Good Neighbor Ordinance that could shut them down. http://www.omaha.com/news/metro/city-council-moves-to-have-downtown-hookah-bar-s-liquor/article_698a8768-b81a-58cc...

I looked at the Platte River North, Elkhorn River East (Included Waterloo), Bennington South and all of Council Bluffs West. Based on ZIP Code population I put it about 90th and Pacific around Happy Hollow. This did not account for anyone living on base at Offutt.

Fremont has had $1.41 gas for about two weeks now. I always thought that stations only made $.05/gallon. Is Omaha is intentionally keeping prices higher then they should be?

For my last last two neighborhoods the developer had 5 votes per unsold lot and homeowners have 1 vote. As long as the developer has 17% unsold lots they control everything. This is good for 10 years. Here is where you should be able to see all of the HOA minutes, notices, covenants and bills. I did...

Hooters, Tilted Kilt and now Twin Peaks are all gone from Lincoln. If they do not change their service level a name change will not help even if it is saving them $150k/200k a year. I would say Lincoln had the worst T.P. and T.K. restaurants I have visited.

I noticed that a new housing development was up for approval NW of 180th and Giles. The county was concerned that their design did not account for an overpass on 180th just north of Giles. They also did not take into account an elevated road about 184th and Giles. I was thinking it would be easier l...

Another issue they are planning for is alternative energy. In Arizona and California you have to pay around $30/month if you have solar power and are still hooked up to the power grid. The more power you produce for yourself the more they charge you. Nebraska is one of only 5 soon to be 9 states tha...

Last week they started some new utility or sewer work just east of the Jimmy Johns. It is could be for the new hotel going in or this complex.

On a side note, is this still going to be called the "Omaha" Multisports Complex?

Spirit Bank and Ralston Arena have one thing in common, they did not have professional management companies.

Will individuals that vote against gambling in Nebraska stay away from this place? A very good portion was paid for with tax dollars from Nebraskan's. This is a great example of the whole community benefiting from allowing adults to chose how they are entertained.

You are going to have three new schools in that area. I would expect the Elementary traffic to use 192nd, but the High and Middle Schools would use 180th. The Aspen Creek developers should be REQUIRED to put a traffic light in on 192nd Street before they start the North addition. If you choose to de...

They hope to be open in March for basketball. I hope they design it a little better than their current location.

Omaha is lucky Gavilon split from Conagra. A friend that started there while Conagra owned them says it is 100% different now. Before they were about buying companies to make it look like they were as big as possible and make as much money as possible. Now that Marubeni (A Japanese firm) is the owne...

That was my first thought. Seems like it would only help the eastbound Hwy 370 drivers that wanted to go north on 180th. The 180th & I-80 exit and westbound Hwy 370 drivers would still use 180th. I do like the idea of a diagonal road going 1.4 miles with NO stops vs. going one mile north and one...

Aspen Creek 2 is adding 280 additional houses just North of the current development. This will take them all the way to Cornhusker Road. I also notice that Sarpy County approved plans to change 180th and 192nd from Harrison to Hwy 370. They are now going to make a road from 192nd and Cornhusker goin...

PayPal is pushing their expansion in Chandler. They just added another 150 jobs in the last couple of months in Arizona.

For the gravel roads they would rather have the SID's pay for them. This causes developers to do phases leaving the lots that are against the roads to be in the last phase. This way a developer might not have to pave a road for many years until they are ready for that last phase of lots. Papillion b...
