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...

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...

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...

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 ...

This is around a 24% decrease from what we saw last ...

I actually put two Nebraska Beer trips on My Christmas list this past year. My wife gave me one but we haven't found the time to do it yet. She told me I can pick which ever one I want. Weekend Getaway Nebraska Brewery Trip - Option 1. Friday - Highway 14 in Albion Friday - Divots (Beer and Dinner) ...

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.

Beer with Brad Episode 38 - Photography Discussion The 38th episode in my monthly photography series "Beer with Brad". Today I have a "Countryside Pills" from Kros Strain Brewing in LaVista, NE. After a few updates, I discuss Artificial Intelligence or "AI" and how I th...

GROW OMAHA WEEKLY MARKET REPORT wrote:We have an opening date for the Costco Wholesale store under construction southeast of 180th & West Maple Road: sometime this July. The new building is now mostly enclosed. It will be the metro area’s third Costco and is expected to relieve traffic at the 123rd & West Dodge Road location.

Machine Shed (18252 Evans Street) It appears that a popular theme restaurant that started in Davenport, Iowa, has its sights set on northwest Omaha.

I believe Bootleg Brewers has closed their brewery. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=775642557904896 Yep, unfortunately they closed at the end of the year. It was far and away the most scenic location of any bre...

I do think SF will coach again; he just did not set out to be a Head Coach at a major program. He can be successful as a position or assistant coach. I think his best option will be in the NFL. Today on 1620, they said he might need to start off at a fairly low end job and work his way back up agai...

I noticed tonight, that property is completely empty now with a "We moved" sign out front.

All the Maverik stores I have been to have a Western US/Outdoor/Adventure theme.

No Building Permits in Omaha yet.

Same here, and its right down the street from my house.

You didn’t miss anything at west point, it’s not a brewery. So, West Point Brewing Co. doesn't actually brew anything? lol That's what I have been told. Looking at their website and Facebook, it appears so. Their website says "Our name pays homage to a brewery that existed in West Point from 1...

Who doesn't have tap to pay readers at the pump?

Was out there this past weekend. Still moving along. Should be ready to go next year. I was there the weekend before and was surprised it wasn't further along. While the east addition was mostly closed end, the west addition wasn't. Considering they started almost a year ago, I thought it would all...

I was in Western Nebraska and managed to hit up Flyover in Scottsbluff and both Pals and Peg Leg in North Platte. I was going to try Bolo in Valentine, but I was there Monday/Tuesday and they're only open Wednesday through Saturday. Sounds like a good tirp. I am never in North Platte at the right t...

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...

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...

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...

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. ...
