My guess is that 122nd? Center will be next. There is never anybody in there when I go.

It embarrasses and infuriates me that Des Moines has an "International" airport, but Omaha doesnt. I have never understood why that is. I know Eppley is very small, but they have a heck of a lot more traffic going thru it than Des Moines, and are pretty much the same distance from Canada a...

I managed a Fantasy's when the chain was three stores. I could tell you stories about the Spaustats, since the statue of limitations is past!

I worked at the Fantasys that was on 120th Maple a long time ago. I called them out for taxing us twice on our "carwash sales bonus."

I pulled out my phone and got a couple of pics. One from the front yard and one from the back, both looking N-NW.

I hope we get some good storms in West O tonight since Ill be home all night. I might snap some pics if it gets crazy out.

Who dices their meat? I have never eaten diced meat in any fashion. Thanks for your review. Ill probably put trying this place on the back burner for a while cuz it doesnt look that appealing.

Dwayne Riggs and Cisco Carrizales sp? Have a field day! I saw Dwayne get gunned down when we were walking through Spring Lake Park. Timeframe would have been fall of 2000. So 17+ years ago and not downtown? You've certainly debunked my claim that downtown Omaha isn't the nightmarish hellscape peopl...

Gotta stop those stoners coming over the Nebraska/Colorado border!

Korver looked really bad last night. The only time I saw him do something right, Durant Jayed right in his face, even though the shot defense was pretty solid on that play.

When I was a sophmore in high school, I had two good friends murdered in the first semester and never once "saw it on the news," or "read about it in the paper," so therefore, I guess it didnt really happen. :shrug: "On the news" isn't the "reporting" being r...

Plaza North will now house a 20k SF New Planet Fitness club. Planet Fitness, the WalMart of gyms. Hey I don't mind it. I don't get there as often as i need to but the one I go to on Ames is clean, well maintained and the crowd isn't in there to have people look at them, like I heard happens at Life...

No Silverspoon is right. I've lived in Chicago and now St. Louis and me and all my friends have been murdered by gangs dozens of times. To the point of "most crimes not being reported", I would agree - but let's not act like there's a statistically relevant number of homicides going unrep...

Not true. Thats basically saying every time a shot is fired the helicopter takes off which would be asinine. Omaha is a dangerous city, but if youre not looking for trouble, you can usually avoid it. Yeah, I should not use hyperbole to call out your non-existant doomsday scenario. By bad. No exagge...

Wrong! :gunfire: Sit on my grandmas porch for an hour and count the gun shots. Hint - You will need more than 10 fingers to count on.

And I would also say this- No female should be walking downtown at night by herself. She should at least be with a group of females if there is no male present..

Agree 100%

Silverspoon

The reality remains that, in Omaha, as long as you aren't involved with or living in the midst of gang activity, you are very, very, VERY unlikely to be shot by anyone other than yourself or your spouse.

I tried the classic buffalo wings at Paddy McGown's (Formerly Mcflys) at 4503 Center St last night. Wings were fried to perfection, but the tossing process seems to be a lil off.

I think they should be added to the list, and some others might chime in on their opinions.

How could a Taxi company even compete with Uber or Lyft with the huge difference in overhead?

They were the best when I was in high school (1999-2003,) but I have had too many occasions where 2 or 3 of the drums I get are ice cold and its disgusting. They have very good sauces, but the wings themselves arent very good.

Silverspoon

Do we wanna include corporate chains that offer buffalo wings of some sort ie Applebees, Red Robin, or more places that are KNOWN FOR THEIR WINGS? That is up for those who requested a new thread. Did you want a place added? The few I could think of that are worthy of being on the list were accounte...

Thats an interesting move. I wonder what will happen with all of the med offices they house in the building connected to the southwest of the ER.

Can we add a poll to make the answers more visable?

I dont talk politics, and I dont gamble, though I used to, but Ill point out the obvious reason this should be legalized.

I have never been to Tracks, but I may have to try them out. Who has the best wings in Omaha? I thought for a while it was Tanners, but they can be hit or miss, and the two times Ive been to Oscars, it has they have been nasty. What do you guys think?

Silverspoon

I went out with the family last night for dinner to check out the new location. Atmosphere was great, and inside of the building was really nice, but STAY AWAY FROM THE WINGS! Driest, most rancid wings I have ever had. The mild buffalo sauce was decent, but they were horribly over cooked, and if I r...

This is the single greatest descriptor of Pete Ricketts I have ever seen, and if I could attempt to hug you through my computer monitor, I would.

Appreciate it. Sorry I went off on a rant, but I was just being blunt.

Ricketts is a moron and his daddy bought him his governorship. Hes the laughing stock of US government. Watch political satire shows after hours and they rag on him more than anyone besides Trump.

I dont think Creighton could even beat Nebraska next season, even with Thomas coming back.

The reason they went the route of selling on ebay is because they could avoid paying taxes on their sales. The owner told me that when I worked for him a long time ago.

I think they should run Wake Up San Francisco in its place. Danny and Rebecca really bounced well off each other.

Action News was a better fit for WOWT than KMTV.

I agree with that statement 100%! Each name change gets worse that the previous.

That chain has went down hill since the mid-late 2000s. Within the last 5 or so years they don't really stock anything in their stores anymore and the games they do have are just cases with store printed cover art. When I asked them what happened to all their stock they replied they sell a lot of t...
