Zippy, I like your optimism and I hope you're right or maybe even a tad low.

Thanks to all for your participation. Keep those predictions coming!...

Ciao..LiO...Peace

I hope we're all drastically low.

A friend of mine who was a department manager at Hy-Vee for nearly 20 years lost his job about 10 days ago. He said the management ranks are being thinned. I might not have understood him completely but I think he was saying that under a new structure there would be one manager over every three or f...

^^^Best thing I’ve read or seen on this forum in the 15, 16 or whatever number of years it’s been since I’ve been here. Thanks so much for posting this.

There is always that!

I don’t think anything can compete with breakfast syrup and maple syrup and the rest you mention.

I’ll tell you a funny but true story. My mother was Italian. She made certain foods a certain way. For example, while growing up, she made us kids Cream of Wheat or Oatmeal.. with butter and (get this) SALT. It wasn't the only way my mom made cream of wheat but she did the butter and salt thing too.

Now on this one I knew I was being outside the norm: Try Dorothy Lynch on Pork Chops. Another one from my dad is grape jelly on pancakes.

For the first 36 or 37 years of my life I used ketchup with my steak. Shame on you guy! :;): .. I am sorry, man! What can I say? I guess my parents raised me wrong. It’s funny though. Just like you can’t remember ever seeing someone do that, I can’t fathom you haven’t seen or heard of it. I mean ke...

For the first 36 or 37 years of my life I used ketchup with my steak. My dad too. I remember once or twice someone calling me out on it. But otherwise I remember a fair percentage of those around me and at other tables doing the same. The cuts of steak I eat now, mostly ribeyes, means I don’t use sa...

^Abelardos. I know there a lot of fans of this place in this site. I, for one, absolutely do not get this place. I have never been able to make myself finish one of their food items. Just me I know. As I have said about a couple other restaurants in the past, my not patronizing these places makes fo...

I haven’t been there. But now I want to try it. Thanks for putting it on my bucket list.

Having spent a prodigious portion of my life in Texas- I have a significant amount of family members who mainly live in Dallas-Fort Worth.. but as far west in Texas as Lubbock- I can say I’ve experienced dining at Saltgrass more than a few times.. I’ve found the restaurants to be consistently good ...

And let the intensifying of the parking battles begin. An argument can certainly be made that the first north south ORBT spoke should include AV. I'm sure it would include Aksarben, but it would be interesting to know the amount of people that (currently, or would in the future) work in Aksarben, a...

I agree with the sentiment that the project is a little disappointing when it comes to pedestrian issues with the parking garage, but I do respect the development this will help drive in NDT and am thankful Kiewit decided to keep their world HQ in Omaha. Businesses like Kiewit and Flywheel acting a...

This my first impression, too. But I still hold out hope to be won over by the time it’s finished. But man that brick looks ugly at least right now.

Is there a restaurant in Omaha that requires you to dress up? I'm pretty sure every restaurant in Omaha will allow you to dine in a t-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops (and probably not even bat an eye when you arrive in that getup). I'm not sure a "coat and tie required" place would succeed ...

Put me in the High Peak fanboy club as well.

I’ve been there twice in the past month. Both times we came away impressed.

Is there supposed to be ground floor retail/restaurants? Yes. Some marketing material shows a Brazilian steakhouse going in this new building. Actually, Omaha could use an option for a good Brazilian Steakhouse. This would be a solid addition for the district and for Omaha in general... Ciao..LiO.....

I guess I never thought of Elkhorn as anything even resembling big back in those days. My family started out in Elkhorn and Waterloo. Waterloo was half the size it is now and was bigger than Elkhorn perhaps as late as the 1960 census. Whatever, no biggie. Your perspective is just challenging my memo...

guy4omaha

Back when these district boundaries were codified, wasn’t Elkhorn a tiny water stop village too?

The Casey's location on north 156th toward Bennington is still fairly new and just gets swamped with pizza orders. The quality of their pizza here on several occasions has not been at a level with Casey's usual standard. I think it is because the staff is just so rushed. I feel sorry for them. It is...

CNBC is reporting that Charles Schwab is in talks to buy TD Ameritrade for $30 billion. The deal could be announced as soon as today. OWH reports that Fox Business is reporting that the purchase deal will be announced later this morning. It goes on to say the new combined firm will be run by the Sc...

A study was done years ago, no actually decades ago, that pointed out that a skywalk on the 2nd floor of a building on the west end of down town would end up being on the 18th floor of a building on the east end of downtown if it were kept level.The study concluded that a skywalk system would not be...

Darn, several of my favorite restaurants closing their doors these past few weeks. I should have never went on this diet.

Bummer! We always enjoyed Enzo’s.

The Maple location does not have the traffic it once had either. Produce quality has slipped a little too. I have no statistical evidence but the Maple location seems to have picked up traffic over the past year in my observations. I hope they make it as I do like their price points on the items I ...

Thanks. Always enjoy your keen eye.

I never saw another sunken park like ours in other cities. Besides looking at it or walking in it their wasn’t much to do. It was underused. It’s my understanding they are leaving the slides which was maybe the best thing about the place. This new version GLH should be better. Yes the buildings mig...

It’s the incoming flights that need to be served. I don't know how a restaurant would make it pencil out to stay open past 8 or so at Eppley. Not enough volume and what little there is will mostly be walking right past the food service heading to baggage claim or the exits. How would they pay a sta...

I am in favor of a modern design, big windows, spacious, local food/drinks ( I know I've mentioned this before ). Am I the only one who really doesn't give a rat about so-called "amenities" at airports? When I go to an airport, whether it's Eppley or O'Hare or Grand Junction or whatever, ...

I have no idea what Mutual is going to do or why. However, these sustained low treasury rates and their outlook are a huge headwind to the insurance industry. With the Fed turning again to easing monetary policy, this cannot be a reason for optimism at MOO or the industry.

Lou, which do you like better between Pudgy's and Diavlo's? I tried Diavlo's and was pretty underwhelmed. Is there a chance I would like Pudgy's better?

Sounds like they might be going with an In-N-Out Burger styled fry. Have you had them? They are the weirdest, sorriest excuse for potato I've seen yet. I really don't know what they're going for with them, if anything. They seem like some generic food service type french fry. Hard to put into words...

Darn. There are not a lot of clean food options in Omaha. Maybe we could get a Luna Grill or a Piada: Italian Street Food. Or maybe another local effort along these same lines.
