Need some basement drywall repair and a couple of showers fixed.

Anyone have a good source for contractor referrals? I try Home Advisor and get nobody. I have tried other online sites like Angi and get similarly marginal results.

Pro football has much more parity than college. College ball is getting boring because of it.

I saw the NFL delivered blockbuster ratings over the weekend. They had a very strong regular season. It doesn't seem like it will be fading away anytime soon: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33050695/nfl-regular-season-ratings-increase-10-percent-last-season Greg Considering that the four games...

They should put in a Cinnabon reference to either the gas station at Neb Crossing or the Schlotzky’s on Center where they are sold in Omaha.

Dont get me wrong, Kennys was one of my favorites as a kid.

bigredmed1

Definitely agree that income tax reform should come first. Be prepared for the fight.

Kenny’s was a chicken joint back when fried chicken was a treat on days other than Sunday. They served steaks as well, but they were more like Rose’s Lodge.

Consumption taxes are just sales tax. We already have one and we see people drive over to CB to save money because of it. Especially before the start of the school year. Cutting spending becomes harder as a lot of the spending is institutional and we either start shedding blood (cutting UNL’s trough...

Jericos and BrotherSebastians are close. Anthony’s never struck me the same asCascios and the various Caniglia family places did. Closer to Jerico’s.

bigredmed1

Agreed. I dont get any potatoes and therefore no combos. They have to be losing sales as they were the only fast food place with realistic alternatives to crappy fries.

It’s time to add a bike lane and a streetcar to I-29 heading to the Empire Mall in Sioux Falls so the people of Omaha can be well dressed. LOL! The streetcar to Sioux Falls! How about a monorail instead!? Macy's isn't quite as posh as it once was or is not at most locations. Wanting a Macy's for Om...

That was one sick set. His Comedy Central roast was also pretty dark, but funny.

The sandbars are amazing by DeSoto bend. Was there last Tuesday. Lots of ice and they make a lot of noise, but all of the wing dikes along the Nebraska side have 50-75 yard long sandbars on the downstream sides.

The lead plume was north and east, but the contamination spread to far west of even the OM. Not saying that it was the only factor, but I was around when the buildings were there and they were not great. This was also at a time when it seemed that every building built before 1960 was given historica...

The pediatricians found a bunch of kids in south Omaha that had lead poisoning. One of them climbed the fence around ASARCO and then took the dirt sample back to the lab where they matched the isotope profile of the lead in the ASARCO plant to the children. The health dept was notified as was ultima...

To be fair to ConAgra and Mike Harper who is hated on this forum, it was a group of buildings that were not very attractive, often little more than a big brick building with creosote soaked beams and floors so they were never going to meet modern fire codes without jillions of dollars in reconstruct...

One would think that they would have some electronic warfare tool or other devices that could end this. Maybe security with a shotgun. Drone skeet practice. :D :D In WW2, bomber crews learned to shoot down fighters by learning to shoot trap from the back of jeeps or trucks. So, it wouldn’t be the f...

KFAB missed on that. After Baker got fired, they should have let Odson have the show with Bird. Funny and current interest is better than yet another political talk show. I absolutely agree but KFAB diehards were so upset that Baker got tossed they were non stop complaining about Bird and Odson. Gr...

Pretty easy to outrank Boston or DC. Both have put out the "Multimillionaires Only" sign a long time ago. Regular people live like |expletive| there. As for the photos, I agree. With all the pro and advanced amateur photographers pumping out dozens of photos of Omaha onto Facebook or othe...

Same story with flour tortillas. I read on article a while back about whether flour tortillas are authentic Mexican. It seems they are. Especially in the northern states of Sonora, Chihuahua and Coahuila. So, Mexican food elitists probably shouldn't be hating on flour tortillas for not being authen...

Congratulations! After I saw the Texas comeback against Washington I was never relaxed last night until the final point. The guy on play by play really seemed disappointed that Texas lost. Was very odd. Greg Bias in sports announcers is common and the favorite team or the home team gets the bias. G...

Come on Cowboy. Compared to the KC & Texas stores the Omaha store is not only the poor cousin but the cinderella before the ball. I get that the Mart owns the Omaha market thus has zero incentive to improve or move while they must compete in the other cities, but it's just not a well organized ...

Congratulations!

While I agree with this potential project, there's a sticking point. Iowa would have to partner up to build the road on their side of the river along with ponying up for half of the bridge construction. I really don't see what's in it for them. It's all for Omaha's benefit. I agree that could be an...

He seems to be a good addition so far.

Well deserved!

That was a slam against Deborah Meyer, the mousy blonde that was his competitor. IIRC, it got him fired. She moved from 3 to 7 and Carol Scott was brought in to steal back the weather girl thunder. Fun times back when channel 7 hosted All Star wrestling in their basement and channel 3 had a live stu...

Carol Scott, Channel 3's weather reporter in the mid-'70s has died. Little Rock, AR. Parkinson's. RIP. Was round 2 of weather girls in Omaha. First was a blonde woman who worked at Channel 3 then jumped to channel 7. Displacing the venerable Mike May. Debra Meyer. When she was at 3, ratings were hi...

Nice! Is this a simple business deal or is the Fed pushing this for solvency issues?

Nebraska went from a 4 point favorite to a 1 point underdog. Suspect that Iowa will win by at least 7. The bookies have to edge on Nebraska’s side to get betting going. As I have said before, the one QB plan is a plan that is inherently weak and the remaining guys have no game experience. Going to b...

I don't think most people know that Jim Suttle was a very accomplished Engineer & was on the board for HDR. Omaha is very fortunate that he was Mayor during the 2011 floods. The city quickly built a massive, temporary, pumping station in the back lots of the CHI. Suttle was an engineer, but als...

Congratulations! Hopefully the Big East will continue to build up its Vball programs.

Nebraska needs to go back to a two QB system. When Martinez is sick or having another of his bad games, there needs to be a replacement that is not just “on paper”. The second stringer needs playing time and focus by the coaching staff so we can keep the offense running. Too much emphasis on star pl...

Downtown Omaha is best thought of as a part of the city. It is no more important than any other commercial center.

The bookies have to live the Skers this season. Just good enough to cover the spread. A bunch of Buckie fans are crying in their beers after paying off their bets tonight.
