It was a horrible fit for the Old Market area. Let’s hope someone with more sense purchases the property, as it looks like it would have good potential as a rooftop restaurant.

NWS in Valley reported no frost in the ground as of the last day of January. My yard is mushy. The last little pile of snow disappeared on Groundhog Day. How appropriate. The month of January ended up being considerably colder than average in Omaha (and probably everywhere in the U.S. east of the Ro...

We dined there last weekend. The place was packed and we fortunately had reservations. Our general impressions were positive. The staff was friendly. The owner stopped by to chat a bit. The clam chowder was absolutely delicious. I don’t want to think about the nutrition profile. 😂 My salmon and riso...

The announcement from Pennsylvania has been made. No shadow seen, so an early spring is foreseen.
If the past week is any indication it is almost spring now.

Great news for any BBQ lover in town.

What are the odds that this neighborhood gets fully developed before Crossroads? Or before the Grand Canyon gets a foot deeper?

Not sure if you mean the greenspace, gardens and building at Mt. Vernon, but Mandan is connected to Mt. Vernon via the bike trails. I’ve ridden through there several times to ride the bike trails and the park is in decent shape. Yes I was. When first started practicing around there say 9-10 yrs ago...

This is great! I was mainly hoping for the extension to Cuming St. Much more inviting to pull people across the street! https://i.postimg.cc/9rcb0pzb/11th-Izard.jpg This street extension would only add to the momentum for including a bus line north from the Old Market, up 10th Street and into the N...

I haven’t been to St. Louis in close to 20 years. Back then it was a fun weekend getaway, but after about 3 days you saw pretty much everything you wanted to see. It has some obvious similarities to Omaha (a downtown riverfront) but is a much older and larger metro area, with deeper problems and als...

I guess I’m prone to making analogies. I’m old enough to have seen the general downtown riverfront area go from an industrial lead smelter and scrap metal facility, with a general “odd” smell permeating the entire area, to the original Lewis and Clark Landing, to what we have now and the announced p...

July 4th has loads of celebrations going on well before and after the date.

Not to the exclusion of celebrating it on the correct date.

I’ve said it before. I’ll say it one more time. No one I know celebrates New Years Day on January 6 or July 4 on July 10. Why would we celebrate May 5 on May 10-12? For those who care, Cinco de Mayo is basically celebrated in the Mexican state of Puebla, but not in the other 31 Mexican states (count...

I’m excited for this wonderful new addition to the downtown/riverfront/Omaha sports and entertainment scene. And I say that as someone who almost certainly will never use this facility or visit the adjoining restaurants and bars. This (as well as the recently announced upgrade at Tranquility Park an...

Perhaps by next year they will all be working from home?

It's interesting about the Eppley project. In my own opinion this is a game changer Omaha hasn't seen since the convention center/arena project. I know Mutual's building & the streetcar are big but Eppley is, as I say, a game changer. I don't even think it's about the money. And I think that's ...

Bagels aren’t a health food, any more than donuts are. But I like them on occasion, mostly for what you can add to them to make a sandwich. I like mixing things up at breakfast (my favorite meal of the day), and while I may only eat 2 or 3 bagels in an average month I do appreciate the variety most ...

Regarding beans in chili, I have several family/friends who don’t like them in their chili either. I personally don’t mind it either way- with or without beans.. I don't mind pinto beans in reasonable amounts (my preference is for none at all), but kidney beans are a definite show-stopper. They jus...

If that’s the name I wonder if the owners considered what a divisive name that would be to call a bar and grill?

nativeomahan

Okay. But don’t restaurant owners all realize that business falls off a cliff after New Year’s revelers have put away their horns and gone home? Add to the normal slowdown that happens everywhere in January the record and near record cold weather that is underway right now, and all the warnings to s...

From the looks of the last photo it seems like they have topped out. The elevator shaft? No, the building. I see no indication that an additional floor is under construction. Projects I am familiar with (and I only need look out my bedroom window to see one) have rebar and vertical concrete pillars...

Anything that will add green space and beauty to the Old Market District is a big plus. I hope this comes to fruition.

Southwest and United were the two big winners for December.

I’ve been a weather nerd since grade school. I should have gone to school to be a meteorologist, but I think the math would have done me in. Anyway, even I, the weather junkie, get sooo sick and tired of all the storm hype I see on TV. It’s of course worse during tornado season, as the constant scre...

Also, around Noon into early this afternoon is when we should see the 2"+ per hour snowfall rates so things are probably going to go down hill here shortly... One of the joys of spending most of winter in a land where snow is encountered as often as Martian soil and ice is reserved for beverag...

I’m guessing a significant flaw in the statistics. FLL is also completely AWOL, as is Cancun and Cabo.

Yes i also enjoyed Granite City. We would often do their very popular Sunday brunch. Always a line for that. Or we would do dinner after a twilight movie at the mall.

As long as the State Office Building (appropriately referred to by just about everyone as “the SOB”) has existed it’s been derided. And appropriately so. But to remove it a suitable replacement would have to be built, or a suitable building remodeled. And the replacement would have to be on multiple...

That condiment tray looks fire It’s typical of just about every Mexican restaurant to offer something similar. Sometimes they also give you several free tostadas to go with. This one has marinated red onion and carrot, pico, chilled sliced radish and cucumber in the center, one mild salsa and one “...

I got no horse in this race. Never heard of Taco Bueno. Never eaten at Taco John’s or Taco Bell. Abelardo’s and Lina’s and D’Leon’s are all pretty good for having semi authentic Mexican food. Prices have sure shot up the past few years though. Burritos that went for about $4 pre Covid at Abelardo’s ...

A good friend of our family used to work real estate, and I remember when she told us that her company helped bring TGIFridays into the Omaha market. I think that was probably in the early or mid 1990s. It was a “big” thing back then as Omaha was one of the few larger markets that lacked the chain. ...

How does a restaurant screw up French fries? It’s sort of like screwing up a grilled cheese sandwich or apple sauce. YOu certainly can screw up fries.

I remember when racquetball was all the rage, back in the 1990s. In the 1980s it was tennis. Now it’s pickle ball. What will take pickleball’s place in the 2030s? Anyone’s guess.
