The crazies i'm talking about are the kind that sit there, rocking back and forth talking to themselves.

For a whole building? Uh-huh! :) Yes, it does face north. Â I have an awesome flash, but I have never tried it for that.

The Bakers around 130th and Q would be a better choice, there's rarely a soul in there even on peak hours. Au contraire! If you're talking about the one at Deerfield Plaza, that's the Bakers I visit most, usually on the way home, and it's always busy when I'm in there. I don't really have a favorit...

Re: Dividing lines

What I found interesting, when doing a recent blog item on South Omaha, is that although South Omaha was at once an independent ...

The Las Vegas Monorail, the business side of it, is one of the biggest boondoggles there ever has been!

I think our overall selection leaves something to be desired. Besides an indie station, I'd really like to have an actual hard rock/metal/alt station come back ala the old 93.3. All of the commercial stations here are very formulaic and playlists tend to be very tight. I find myself listening eithe...

I've seen Omaha's reputation, over the years, go from a 'bland, conservative provincial backwater' to something altogether different----and a pleasant surprise to outsiders as well.

Thanks.
