The old Arby's is currently on fire...

That doesn't surprise me. Over the last few months they've had a lot of kitchen staff turnover and bar staff either move locations or leave for personal reasons. The kitchen staff turnover definitely affected the food quality for the worse. We stopped going there in favor of RTG for delicious wings...

Why is the rebar green and in other cities not green? The rebar that is green, is epoxy coated. It helps mitigate corrosion of the rebar. Since this is a parking garage they are using epoxy coated rebar in the slabs and beams. The rebar at the stair tower is not epoxy coated so it is the typical re...

Oh, that's too bad. That was our go-to location...

I think Truex had every right to be pizzed. He had that race won, but Bubba had to go and cause a caution AGAIN. Again is right... Like Clint was saying, Hamlin did get rolling a little early, but it wasn't egregious. Hamlin won the race on pit road. If anybody caused Truex to not win, it was Bubba...

Screw Hamlin, that was stupid!

They were talking on the radio last week or the week before that maybe there is a growing push from fans/season ticket holders for a completely new stadium and not another remodel?

Speaking of Grow Omaha and your trip to the Sandhill Cranes, Brad, you said that “all the blinds have been completely rebuilt “ since I was there last, how do the blinds in Rowe look these days? Are you going to post some more pics? What does Rowe look like recently? 📷 I should have some video from...

Old news, but I guess it was never posted. Framing is well underway. Ground was broken in 2023. Rowe Sanctuary breaks ground on $12.5M expansion https://journalstar.com/news/state-and-regional/nebraska/rowe-sanctuary-breaks-ground-on-12-5m-expansion/article_07e94c66-9a67-5934-9b0b-090a7220573b.html ...

I believe all three goals UNO gave up were off turnovers. The last one with about 4 minutes to go was rough. UNO had possession was skating out of the zone when the puck carrier fell. Minnesota quickly pounced and scored. I took my son up to the game on Thursday. It was a really odd game as far as ...

Turned out to be a pretty nice day in Omaha yesterday, I cut the grass for the first time. Which is about 1 to 2 weeks earlier than I usually cut it. Dont ever recall cutting it in March before. I cut the south facing part of my front yard too, and took quite a bit off. I did have the mower out for...

Crane Count Week 7 - 3/28/2024 486,000 https://cranetrust.org/news-events/the-prairie-pulse.html/article/2024/03/30/crane-count-week-7-3-28-2024 [quote="Bethany Ostrom, Wildlife Biologist, The Crane Trust]On March 28th, we estimated 486,000 +/- 78,000 Sandhill Cranes between Chapman and Overto...

I guess I see an apartment complex like the Swivel down the street. It's long and skinny in shape. Flip it into that space and right against the retaining wall. Zoning will not allow that. The residential to the east is zoned R3, so there is a 30 foot landscape buffer along the east property line. ...

LOL!

Former Omaha Maverick Brandon Scanlin made his NHL Debut tonight.

This building is actually the Anheuser-Busch depot. It was used when they would ship beer by train from St. Louis to Omaha and then distribute it regionally. You may want to update the title. It was originally the Krug Brewery, and later taken over by Anheuser-Busch See Page 63 of "Building fo...

View from inside the blind: Brad. Where were you here? Have I been here before? Looks life a good area.👍 Yes, I took that photo, my name is on it. I just got back on Sunday afternoon. You have been to Rowe, but not that blind. Also, all the blinds have been completely rebuilt since the last time yo...

We only got 0.07" today. Yesterday was 0.91, so right at an inch for the past two days.

You can pretty easily see the boundary west of 680 currently

Interesting, I had not looked that close at the weather today.

We went to Nebraska Ale Works this past Thursday and Friday nights. Its the same people that owned the Old Chicago franchise which was previously in that location. Bartender told us they didn't want to sign another 10 year agreement with Old Chicago. They do have some familiar items from the Old Chi...

UNO! UNO! UNO! Go Mavs!

Omaha 6, North Dakota 3

Wow, that land has been vacant for a long time. The trailer park left 2012-2013. Little worried it might hamper the Bald Eagle population in winter, they seem to like that corner of the lake.

Is that the control tower or just a ramp tower? Do they have any plans to relocate that? Hopefully they’ll go much taller? Even Sioux City’s control tower is taller. Why would Omaha have a ramp Tower? It is in the control tower. Why does the height of the control tower matter? And no, it isn't chan...

Grow Omaha posted a photo of the Cheddar's construction. You can see the theater in the background.

Mayor said on Grow Omaha this past Saturday they are holding on to this lot. Short-Term it may be a laydown yard for the Streetcar Construction. Long term they want the "Right Project" with decent height. So far the only interest was from an apartment developer who wanted to build a small ...

I agree, its been fun team to watch

Times have been announced for Friday. UNO got the 4pm Game on CBS Sports Network.

Ironically the wall of trees that existed shielded this property from having to view the power sub station. Apparently the developer hadn’t thought much about that. They were old silver maple trees. They would be gone in a few years anyway. This part of town is full of silver maples that are all ne...

Great photo from the locker room after the game!

Seems like that coating comes off every bridge they put it on?
