Thanks!

I realize that not every single pizzeria in the metro can be featured, but it’s unfortunate that Pizza King and Pitch were not included in the competition. They might not have won out but they are solid pizza places. Pitch was the 2 seed in Region Two, Pizza King was the 3 seed in Region 3. He's ta...

A Beer Channel that Omaha Cowboy and I both follow did a nice Eclipse Video:

I forget that place is even down there. Usually only take F street along there when trying to photograph a train on the tracks behind it.

Quite a bit different than the Pizza Bracket Sarah Baker Hansen did back in 2021 https://sarahbakerhansen.com/pizza/ Completely different final 4. Also the Winner of Sarah's (Mangia) lost in the 3rd round in this bracket and the winner of this bracket lost in the second round in Sarah's. Also never ...

Grow Omaha wrote:Lego will open its first and only Nebraska store late this summer in a 3,500 sq. ft. space next to Vineyard Vines in Nebraska Crossing. The interior is already under construction!

Looks like RS Holdings (same address as Megasaver's corporate offices) purchased the property a long time ago, 12/28/2018.

Unfortunately when that area was platted 30-40 years ago, the didn't leave any connections to the new neighborhood and the only way out is on to Fort Street. That said, I can't imagine a senior living community adding that much traffic during peak rush hour periods... Looks like a decent infill proj...

Contractor put out an update video.

Very nice. Cool to see the solar flares. I caught some back in 2017 and I was totally not expecting that.

Back to the earlier discussion about the trees, there is still a line of trees along the back property line between this development and the sub station. Looks like they are on the sub station side of the property line.

Nice! Glad you were able to see it.

Hopefully they let it burn and clean up the shore line...

Quick shot from the patio at work in Omaha.

An arcade is opening in the old Nobbies building Fall 2024. Tom Kelley's Bowling Pro Shop is moving here. (Their commercials are very good). Yeah, I thought the old Nobbies was going to turn into some type of "adult" putt putt place... with beer, etc. Is it no longer the case and simply t...

Construction on a 5 story garage has gone vertical on the site of the Broadmoor apartments at Heartwood Preserve.

orangeboots wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 8:52 am This entire area should of been controll burned after the last flood. The amount of dead brush and trees is a blaze waiting to go.

I agree,. We have had several fires the last two years and there is plenty more left.

Tom Kelley's Bowling Pro Shop is moving here. (Their commercials are very good). Interesting, says 12100 W Center Road, Suite 901, which puts it in that building immediately north of the Arcade. Also interesting that I still haven't seen a name for the arcade. It was announced back in September.

Brad I am no photographer but Vincent Bluff in CB looks like a great place for some downton shots. Yeah, it’s a nice place, been up there many times. It’s nice because it doesn’t have all the activities going in the parking lot like fairmount park does… It is quite far though, you really need a cle...

Still a decent line of showers moving our way, but all the warnings have gone away.

I saw three of them this evening, all on the Iowa side of the Missouri River. The Biggest was east of the zoo, next was east of Eppley, and the third and smallest was just north of the Bob Kerry Bridge. The one North of the Bob Kerry bridge might be the same fire that was going on a few days ago too.

Great shot. Really shows the diversity and different generations of buildings. Yeah, the southern exposures of downtown are my favorite for seeing the density of older buildings downtown still has. That will be a great shot to see over and over again as construction of the tower progresses over the...

Sure is. Went up on the hill to the south of downtown to try to get level with the top pf the Paxton and line these up.

I went down and shot some photos just after sunrise this morning, I’ll post those later. Counting the numbers on the core, It looks like the 11th floor is currently being worked on under the yellow tent.

One from Jeff Beals this afternoon.

Been to Thunderhead several times, but prefer a coupe other non-brewery locations in Kearney over Thunderhead, Isn't their actual brewery down in Axtell? That's only about 20 minutes south of Kearney. Yeah, we discussed it some time back in this thread. They were brewing beer in Kearney at one time...

That's Roger Humphries photo taken from the Omaha Press Club.

I have been to Divots for both food and brew. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I was expecting more. It wasn't an " I will not go back" but also wasn't "Man, I need to plan another stop. Seems like every brewery has at least one beer I like. I know I like their corduroy ninja...

NovakOmaha wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2024 8:14 pm Want to know why the plan in this pic was never going to happen? I'm sure they are somewhere but I see zero parking lots. Where are the acres and acres of parking lots?

Zero Parking Lots? I count 7 parking lots and 4 garages.

We stopped going there in favor of RTG for delicious wings. Oh, coming to my neighborhood for wings now? I like RTG, but never had the wings. Yeah, we're there probably twice a week! My usual is 10 spicy garlic & 5 jerk, extra crispy, char buffed/double dip. Their ranch is probably my favorite ...

Been to all those places. Prairie Pride is the only beer made in Grand Island, all the others are just tap rooms. Kinkaider has good food too. Thunderhead is meh, I’d much rather go to prairie pride.
