He's hit 3 threes in every game this season? Damn that's wild.

Also it’s not in the metro but Lewis and Clark State park near Onawa Iowa has some very large Cottonwood trees , some of the largest I’ve seen anywhere. IIRC, this site of historic Fort Kearny (the city is spelled Kearney, but the fort is spelled Kearny) had several huge Cottonwoods . They used to ...

Top floor walls are about halfway done on this project.

The great thing about not being MLS is that it's relatively cheap, so you don't need to be committed to the team to catch a game. IMO. For me, I'd catch games regularly if I could take the ORBT/ bus there. Werner Park on the other hand is so poorly placed I won't go there (based on my time in Omaha...

lmao what a joke

That depends on what you enjoy doing I suppose.

guy4omaha wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 11:22 am Wow. I would think most places in Eastern Nebraska are too populated to do that safely. I hope everyone would at least identify a good backstop. Certainly not shooting into standing corn where it's not known what or who is downrange.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought this.

Has anyone joined the Cottonwood Hotel pool club? Considering joining and want to get other people's thoughts on membership - Is it worth the investment? We debated doing it but havent pulled the trigger. Its a bit steep for just pool access and the caveats to bringing additional people are kind of...

Have its 2 largest cities within 50 miles apart and half the population living in them? I believe Massachusetts fits that criteria. Boston and Worcester are the two largest cities (45 miles apart) and then many of the larger cities are Boston Suburbs. I'm assuming you are counting Pappillion, LaVis...

Louie

I think some of my biggest takeaways from the season are - Basic progression. Chubba has earned his spot at the top of the QB list. While the interception at the end of the Iowa game was not ideal, overall the last two games showed growth. Really a shame he won't get the extra reps from bowl eligib...

That was an atrocious shooting performance. Hope they figure that out.

They won by 10

For me, they are super fast and taste far better than Subway. Other than that, its nothing special really.

I will vouch for this league! Good group of guys.

I know this is an old thread but it shows up in Google now when searching for pick up basketball Omaha. I am trying to revive the conversation. Also, if you want to get on a Omaha pickup ball email list and see a list of pick up games head over to this link and check it out. https://stayonthecourt....

So, in the past year, UNO has sent 4 teams to the NCAA Tournament. This includes Women's Soccer in the 2022 athletic season along with Men's Soccer, Softball, and Volleyball this year. I can't help but sit back and appreciate how far the program has come since the dark days of D-II and early days o...

Used to go there from time to time growing up, pretty standard bar fare then, but heck that was almost 25 years ago.

Louie

Did this get approved as an AirBnB structure?

What happened in those 10 months with little to no moderation?

I understand. I live just east of I-680 and even though some great restaurants west of 680 are closer to us we often end up downtown when we want a nicer place to eat. There is something to be said for having dinner and walking to a nearby bar for an after dinner drink. Or walking off your meal wit...

After almost 17 years of this topic it's pretty clear "authentic" Chinese food in Omaha is at best a short list as this thread has evolved into "your favorite Asian food in Omaha". Well, there are inauthentic foods that because of their international popularity become popular in...

With no conference games yet to be played, Nebraska is de facto leading the Big Ten as the only team to have played 4 games (and won them).

I have seen humans act in some really disgusting and rude behavior at the China Buffet on 114th and Dodge. Families leaving a mess of food and silverware strewn about in a 5 foot diameter around a table. Just filthy.

Only if they build a YMCA.
I doubt they'll have room with only 1000 acres.

Ah yes, as they say to build a YMCA, You Must Collect Acres

IIRC, the HDZ, since back in the Doc days, was not ever going to get pandas because they essentially are renting the animals, conservation efforts directly benefit China b/c all offspring, etc, must be shipped back, and the exhibit would operate at a fairly significant loss as well. Too many rules,...

A lot of comedians are pushing their tours hard as they had limited stage time over the pandemic. So this is more of a backlog of shows that are stacking up. Though, it certainly feels as though the demand has grown in comparison to say 5 years ago.

Has anybody ever been to Legends in KC and thought “yeah we need another one of these”? Every time I have been there my impressions are it is a giant cluster f^ck that is already showing it’s age. I would say if they incorporated a version of the Garmin or Scheels Soccer Complex in KC it would brin...

I just had 3 Happiness last night ha. Its probably my personal favorite.

I don't have the answer, but I do know I mentioned quite a while ago (10+ years or so) that I thought the suburbs would one day become the lower income parts of the city. Still hard to say that difinitively now, but you kinda see subtle signs. Poor apartment management, older vehicles, aging, under...

Had reservation for Sand Point over the weekend. We were seated pretty quickly and the place looks great. Lobster roll was outstanding. Crab Cakes were a 6.5 out of 10. Soups were also good and the service was quick and helpful. Is that a 6.5 out of 10 a general scale or a seafood in Nebraska scale...
