Re: Sand Point (655 N. 114 St)
It’s tough to find great crab cakes in Omaha. It’s tough not to find them on the East Coast.

Re: The Omaha World Herald
Yesterday, for perhaps the very first time in our lifetimes, the World-Herald didn’t bother to publish a print edition on a Nebraska football game day. No reason was announced for their failure to put out a print edition.

Re: Family Fare - No Frills - Bag N Save
I went to their West Center store today and I would estimate that the True Value footprint is 15-20% of the overall store size. They moved lightbulbs and the other pseudo hardware stuff that every grocery store carries over to the new True Value area, so in reality a portion of the True Value mercha...

Re: Family Fare - No Frills - Bag N Save
Kind of an odd marriage. The huge Westlake store is just a couple of blocks East at about 142nd and West Center Rd. A True Value would seem to be a downsized version of Westlake, so if you are shopping for hardware type stuff in that neighborhood why go to the much smaller hardware store when a sup...

Lincoln should be moved out of the Hastings market and put in the Omaha market instead. When I lived in Lincoln and watched the news, it was 95% about things near Hastings.
