There's an empty lot on 13th, 14th, Dodge and Capitol Avenue. Why not just put it there instead of where the W. Dale Clark Library is? MoO said they looked at that site, but wanted the streetcar to be adjacent. City said that would cost too much. So MoO chose the site next to the streetcar line. Al...

I remember there being a 1/2 Price Store across the street from Target on 132nd and West Center.

Soon, there won't be a single 2-lane street left in West Omaha.

I think anyone that drives to NW Omaha for any reason is glad its open. Or at least will be when the second phase from Blondo to Maple is done.

I thought it already was.

I watched Louie Anderson when he hosted "Family Feud" during the first 3 seasons from 1999 to 2002. I wish they'd kept him as host all these years.

Google Maps just got new imagery for Street View. That includes the 180th Street bridge. I just looked at it. It's completed. It looks very nice.

How would they be able to do that since the images were never taken?

Oh, I'm sure they'll find a way somehow. Not today obviously, but someday.

Is that when the Target on 90th and Maple closed?

Where was the first ShopKo? 84th and West Center or 144th and West Center? And what about the first Albertsons? 108th and Q? 144th and West Center?

mrsticka

Bob Saget? I did not see that coming.

mrsticka

Oh, yeah. 30th Street. That's right. Are they planning to make it that way all the way from Cuming Street to Ames Avenue?

How many 4-lane streets in Omaha (2 in both directions) have been reconfigured into only 3 (1 in both directions and a center turn lane) and may or may not include bike lanes? I already know about 24th and Leavenworth Streets near downtown and Crown Point Avenue way up north. But are there any others?

I was going to try and watch the game last night, but I couldn't because I have YouTube TV and the Disney channels including ABC and ESPN were dropped from their lineup. But I guess in a way, I'm kind of glad I didn't.

Anyway, the Disney channels are now back on YouTube TV.

That's a lot of games, a lot of weeks. Well, so are basketball and baseball. They play a lot more games for more weeks. The regular basketball season goes from November to February followed by conference tournaments and March Madness. The regular baseball season starts in February and goes to May. ...

mrsticka

Personally, I still think there should be conference tournaments after the regular season. That whole thing with the Big Ten West between Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin being tied for first place is why. If there were post-season conference tournaments, then those kind of scenarios can be avoided. 8-...

Michigan won the Big Ten Championship. They beat Iowa 42-3. They've won their first conference championship since 2004. It's party time in Ann Arbor.

mrsticka

Alabama beat Georgia 41-24 in the SEC Championship game. Baylor beat Oklahoma State in the Big 12 Championship game 21-16.

mrsticka

Iowa played against Michigan State in the 2015 Big Ten Championship and lost. They had a pretty incredible play in the 4th quarter with an 85-yard touchdown pass.

mrsticka

Minnesota just upset Wisconsin 23-13. The fans are out on the field celebrating.

Nebraska wasn't very good in the 40's and 50's. Kind of like today.

mrsticka

When was the last time Nebraska ended the season 3-9?

Ran out of talent, and the Hawkeyes were like the Borg. They adapted.

I guess that's as good an explanation as any.

Anybody remember when Burger King had Pepsi instead of Coke? Your Pepsi obsession again? Remember we have a whole topic on that? https://www.eomahaforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19337 1. I'm not obsessed with Pepsi. 2. I forgot I did that. 3. Who changed my avatar to a Pepsi can? I sure didn't.

mrsticka

Game's over. Nebraska lost 35-28. They're now 3-8. Stagburn it!

And now Dean Stockwell who played Al on "Quantum Leap" has died. He was 85.

Recruiting in Florida is easier. Did he ever play big games (the Gators or the Noles?).

Not that I know of.

Who wants to go to Shreveport, Birmingham, Memphis or El Paso?

You want Scott Frost gone? Fine. But if you're looking for the next Tom Osborne, forget it. He just isn't out there.

If Nebraska can't beat a team like Purdue, there's no way they'll be able to take on Ohio State.

What a train wreck.
