We are at slight risk for both tomorrow and Friday. First time in a long while we've been the focus area, though it doesnt appear anything crazy will happen. Bill Randby, this evening, pretty much threw a wet blanket over this possibly for Thursday and Friday.. I hope he’s right... Ciao..LiO...Peace

I know their last update stated “mid 2019” for a reopening..

I suspect it’ll be sometime this fall.. At least I hope that’s the case...

Lol, nice..

Thanks for the update. Perhaps she will actually return

Like I stated when I started this thread 1 year ago.. From a purely developmental standpoint, this 8 story low rise development is absolutely nothing earth shattering.. But the discourse that’s unfolded over the actual intent of the development has been a fairly interesting drama to follow... Ciao.....

The way I look at the slower growth increase thus far in 2019 is- Last year, OMA set a record for growth. The airport needs some time to digest that..The fact that 2019 numbers are still tracking ahead of 2018’s record pace, is very encouraging to me.. And OMA has still yet to lose Air Canada’s flig...

Post card worthy Brad..

Fantastic

What was the rumor last year, Holland or Orpheum Theater?

I believe it was the Orpheum...

I think the hope is, every year, there is MLB game match up at TD Ameritrade to kick off the CWS. Moving the MLB Draft to Omaha makes complete sense. The CWS will be playing in Omaha through at least 2035. This would be a perfect marriage for MLB, College baseball and Omaha.. This would be a fantast...

And for the 3rd weekend in a row, Waverle Monroe co anchored the KETV First News in the morning.. Chinh Doan must indeed be an an extended leave for her trip. We’ll see if she ever finds her way back to Omaha... Ciao..LiO...Peace I mentioned that fact to my wife Sun AM. She told me that she goes to...

QT at I-80 and NE-370 opened yesterday, I was there in the afternoon for my hot pretzel... I filled up there on Friday, which I guess was the first day open. Very convenient! Easy in, easy out, and they had the price a few cents less than the others in the area. I’ve been noticing the gas prices ar...

I agree with you both (ricko and JDJase).. I think if these Scooters were used the proper way- as an alternative mode of transportation in the city, and rules followed- I’d be all for ‘em.. But sadly, as I’ve seen here in Omaha within the past several weeks and what both of you have also noticed, mu...

Welcome to Omaha Quanecia Fraser.. Geez..

A work truck hit and run while she was reporting on a shooting in the area...

What a slime ball that driver is...

Ciao..LiO...Peace

Random thought-

These Scooters are a “fad” and 48 months from now, we won’t see many (if any) zipping through Downtown, Benson or AK Village..

As to the 120th and West Center location- avoid that one, like the plague. I’ve heard it’s filthy, poorly ran and as stated here, provides poor service. I’m surprised that location is still open and functioning... Ciao..LiO...Peace Just drive by 120 and Center and it’s closed... This doesn’t surpri...

Yeah other than MECA and the concessions not keeping up it was fantastic. Bummer on Gordon but Lopez hitting his first career MLB homer at his former college home kind of make up for it. If this continues it will almost always be the Royals. This is their home market. There may be the odd year wher...

Congratulations to the Toronto Raptors- 2019 NBA Champions!...

GREEK: Jim & Jennies Greek Village (near 90th & Maple) Greek Islands (near 30th & Center, great mural in there) Both are YUM. Being of both Greek and Italian decent, I’ve sampled plenty of both cuisines.. For Greek food in Omaha, I’m on board with these two choices. My favorite, being G...

In any case, this was a win for Omaha. The stands looked full for the most part. Great camera shots of downtown Omaha and the stadium. This was a Chamber of Commerce dream come true. I kept flipping between the NBA Finals and our Omaha MLB game.. It was a good sports night for both Toronto and Omaha...

After Edelweiss in Bellevue closed and Bohemian Cafe closed, Gerda's was the last place for a nice hot German meal in town. Upstream serves a real sold Pork Schnitzel Anyone try the food at the Rathskeller? Keller night at the German American Society mostly has burgers. Have not been to Rathskeller...

As far as more fast food, I thought Don & Millie's "Double Don" burger was always tasty. It's almost like I wonder if they have a slight dash of hot spice or pepper on it, or something... There was a slight zing with it, I thought. When you come back to visit Omaha, you should try Vic...

It’ll be interesting to find out if this game was an actual sellout (as in no empty seats) or was a paper Tiger (pardon the pun Detroit baseball fans)..

I’m going to go out on a limb and predict this game will be an actual sellout...

Well, I dunno.. I believe Omaha is an excellent event city. I also have faith that Omaha area residents will shell out more bucks for top notch major league sports than the minor league sports the community has been subjected too.. One could say apples and oranges, but Omahans shell out major bucks ...

This list ranking seemed to be a pretty big deal though. They had a significant write up about it in both the Honolulu and Omaha newspapers. In the W-H write up, David Brown- President and CEO of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce was quoted as saying how important this list ranking was for Omaha.. Most...

KC was always such a good team back in the 80’s . But now it’s difficult for small market teams to compete in MLB, as the league has built in advantages for bigger market clubs. Maybe the Royals should play this game in Omaha every year. Well, the small market Royals did win the World Series pretty...

They’re all great, but I think I like #4 the best.. there’s just a cool symmetry to that shot. It’s a subtle angle change, but really nice...

When I saw the Barnes & Noble story headline, I was concerned about the chain closing and the gloom and doomers blaming the Oakview Mousetrap for the chain shuddering it’s doors, lol.. But that’s not the case. This news is significant and I thought I’d place it in the Oakview redevelopment thre...

This is very impressive. Only Honolulu outranked the Big O..

Clearly James and Molly enjoy having Waverle on the weekend anchor crew-

I thought this story was pretty interesting. Considering the Raptors now hold a commanding 3-1 series lead on Golden State.. From KETV.com- “The Golden State Warriors are going to their fifth-straight NBA Finals, which means America's Warriors fatigue and resulting hatred is about to get even worse....

By the way, Waverle Monroe at the co anchor spot for the KETV morning news for the 2nd weekend in a row.. Chinh Doan is still listed on the KETV web site so it doesn’t appear she’s jumped ship..as of yet...

I look forward to checking this place out...

Given what you saw/heard in your example a week or so back, I completely agree. A “sorority test”? No free pass on that gaffe
