A rinse-repeat of the Crossroads, maybe?

Omababe

My Weather Wizard thingy says 34F out here and weather.com says 33.

I'm about to leave and I expect it to be more sloppy than slippery.

To me no single Omaha development took the retail crisis harder than Oak View mall. At one time it was a respectable attractive Mall, now it’s just a shell of its former self and it’s future is in question. I think Crossroads and Mall Of The Bluffs fared worse. Crossroads just died! It seemed to ha...

Thanks.

The Google search shows a photo of a residence.

Is this a real open-to-the-public walk-in shop or just somebody who repairs cameras out of his/her home?

My wife took a digital camera she dropped in the sand into Rockbook Camera several years ago. The sand had gotten in the moving parts and it wouldn't work right. They told her dropping it into sand was as bad as dropping it into water and it'd cost as much to tear it apart and clean it as it would ...

Their schedules stink! And, as stated, we're lucky to have many options.

For the things I've recently bought, I've found that both Nebraska Furniture Mart and Rockbrook Camera to be competitive with the mail/web outlets. I figure that if something goes wrong, I can go there personally and scream at them rather than box up and ship back and such.

Omababe

My guess is that this one has a better chance than Mimi's (which I was not impressed with) or Strouds (which I never made it to before it imploded) did.

I don't know for sure, but I assumed it was an independent Christian church which may or may not be affiliated with some major branch. Evangelical? Pentecostal? LOL, I'm not of that persuasion and really have no clue what is what.

Omababe

Thanks. I was hoping they might have re-opened. :( That was the only place where I got the impression that they were really honest about what needed to be done and not trying to con you. If they said the air filter was too dirty, it was too dirty. Yeah, Jiffy Lube will bring it in to show to you and...

Clothing I seldom buy on line. Unless it's something like an extremely casual tee, I want to try it on. As was noted, sizes are not very standardized. Groceries! Produce in particular. I want to see what I am buying. For baked goods I want to grab the freshest. I know with the "Click and Pick U...

Is that actually open again? Last time I drove by there it was most definitely closed.

Omababe

I learned to avoid Jiffy Lube mainly for the incessant annoying upselling they try to pull! I'm one of those who really does not instinctively know what about a car REALLY needs to be done (yes, I can and do R the FM), and I need to trust garages, friends etc. for advice. I could tell that Jiffy Lub...

Great news!

I would much rather see a good unique local place re-open than Yet Another {fill in a chain, any chain} invade the already-oversaturated area!

Omababe

It's really not that uncommon a surname or given name. I'm surprised so many people (even news "talent") mispronounce it!

Omababe

Bacon???? "Tide Pod" donut?????

How tempting ... ... NOT!

Omababe

They say that (at least) one was sighted over Sarpy County, which really could be one innocent random drone somebody was flying legally.

The conspiracy people are having a field day! I sure wish people would quit sensationalizing this!

When the news broke about the attack in the middle east, it seemed like most stations bumped their prices, but by Saturday evening most of them backed off. This morning, both the I-80 Gretna-Millard "corridor" and the Fort St. stations were $2.29-ish and the pressure appears to be downward...

IIAC, that's not within Gretna's jurisdiction -- yet that is.

It's a long G, don't let anybody convince you otherwise. Long G??????? Do you mean heard or soft G? Do you mean HARD or soft? Whatever. There's long and short vowels, so why is it so crazy to say long G? You understood it right? I learned that |expletive| when I was like 5 and hadn't had a use for ...

On the other hand, go to many large cities and watch the local broadcast and you immediately see that there are actually anchors and reporters who have the chops. It's not only the large cities. The local news in many small and medium markets puts Omaha's TV news to shame! Those that come to mind i...

Times, customs, and expectations have changed. Back when I first settled here, there were several that would most likely refuse to seat you if you were naive enough to go there in jeans and a tee. Churchill's comes to mind immediately. Ditto for Ross'. Of course back then it was still business dress...

I must admit that Giordanos is much better than most chains. However, if they don't open in Omaha, I really won't be disappointed. I would much rather that somebody local, such as the mentioned Davlo (Is it local or a chain? I don't know) would do their version of Chicago cuisine, rather than have y...

It was very "OK", but never really rated the Charles Atlas Seal Of Approval (tm).

Still, I hate to see a well-liked independent close.

It continues to amaze me how people (yes, here, among all other places) still go all gaga when yet another oh-so-formulaic chain invades the area!

Vegas came out this afternoon having Iowa a 3 point favorite over Nebraska on Friday. Five minutes later they increased Iowa to a 4 point favorite. I thought Iowa would of been at least an 8 point favorite Let's see here ... Iowa is a rated team. They recently defeated a then-undefeated Top 10 team...

I swear I saw this media bias chart sometime earlier this year and it was debunked as biased as well. There are several versions of this chart floating around. The one above is dated 2018, far from current. The one thing that caught my eye is that Fox News is clearly in the "red" on the c...

That steak was a grocery store steak and a lower class grocery store steak at that. The steak tasted like they had bought it from Supersaver or Family Fare. Just as gnarly and tough a steak as they come. The french fries were pretty bad too. And for bread what a treat...you get a slice of toasted b...

It seems to me that the issue this year, at least at this time in this year, is that they are consistently inconsistent, at all levels.

They had a good start last weekend, but could not keep consistently playing at that level.

If I remember my Husker History, Frankie was fired more for his, uh, extracurricular dalliances than for any (non)performance on the field, and Bo was fired mainly for being a hothead on the field, and I might assume off the field too. I also seem to remember, now decades ago, that Tom was strongly ...

Many stations (not sure about those in Omaha) have a "Watch Live" button or something similar on their web sites. I know that WCBS, in NYC, WGN in Chicago, and KYW in Philadelphia all have them for news at least.

Omababe

I'm gonna do a bet on this (Nebraska, on the spread) if I can get there in time. Feeling more confident on this game.

Quite a few really brilliant trees along south 168th the last few days. I take that way home occasionally.

Omababe

Curious at to how many watch now. I used to watch regularly. Now maybe only 25% of the time, and probably Channel 7. Omaha local news has been incredibly lame for a few decades now, admittedly with KETV being the least lame of the majors. I'm not even counting the outsourced KPTM "news" (...

Lotsa errors this Sunday morning. I hope this posts.

I expected the new Perkins to do a good business with the proximity to Eppley. I stopped there before a flight out the other day and it was quite empty.

Omababe

Somebody on their staff needed something to do, I guess.

I decided today to wait until mid-day to check this board, rather than early in the morning as I usually do.

It's been fine today. No errors, quick response.
