Restaurant owner seeks investors to revive business The city of Omaha said the owner of Rick's Café and Boatyard is looking for investors to help revive his business. Officials said the riverfront business was several months behind on rent and property taxes, and it closed two weeks ago. City leade...

I see no evidence of that.

nativeomahan

It appears that the remaining floors will be built in an "L" shape, lining up with 12th Street as well as Jackson Street.

nativeomahan

I just heard the building was sold to someone else (a different real-estate investor) and now Charleston's is out. They may even tear the former OCB building down. I can't make any sense of that. Â The OCB "building" isn't its own building, for one thing. Â It is part of the ToysR Us bu...

nativeomahan

This was unexpected. Â I don't quite know what to make of it. Â I guess it is what it is.

nativeomahan

I would really prefer a local based high quality restaurant go in there. Â But of course they all had the opportunity to submit a bid to the city back when the Landing was developed, and apparently none of them did. Â The problem with the location is that there is absolutely nothing going on anywher...

nativeomahan

Keep plugging away, Brad. Â I think you just might turn into a good photographer some day. Â LOL

Seriously, just awesome pics.

nativeomahan

I have heard (but not confirmed) that the restaurant has always had an extreme sweetheart deal with the city of Omaha. Â They pay like $5,000 a YEAR in rent! Â Someone serving rat poison as food, who never ever needed repeat customers, could still make a good living with that sort of arrangement. Â ...

I just flipped on the TV and WOWT was doing one of the "non local" stories later in the news. I left it on that channel and NBC nightly news did the same story? Don't they communicate? Why would WOWT run the same national story that NBC is going to run? Its not like it was big time ne...

What sort of exterior look to the building did the city approve? Â It looks awful in these photos.

nativeomahan

Nick, for those of us who have purchased one (or more) HDTVs, it is a big deal.

Of course I thought that channel 6's HD stood for House of Dunces.

nativeomahan

No loss. Â Absolutely no loss.

nativeomahan

Caniglia's Venice Inn is far from perfect. Â It is yet another restaurant stuck in a time warp. Â But they have pretty good food, and the steaks can be excellent.

If he were overblown he wouldn't need prostitutes, legal or otherwise.

LOL!

nativeomahan

I almost wish the salacious rumors about Jim were true. Â It would add a little bit more color to local TV media personalities. Â Color that used to permeate local media personalities 25 years ago and earlier.

nativeomahan

Somehow I think we will all survive.
I do think it funny that WOWT is completely rudderless during this storm. Â Jim Flowers and Rusty Lord are off the air.

I share your concerns. Â I just smell a rat here.

nativeomahan

That wasn't exactly a recent photo the W-H used in their story. And the story said nothing about the makeup of the new place. Nothing about the menu, or prices, or theme. I guess what do you expect from the W-H? It opens too late to take advantage of holiday parties, as pretty much everyone books...

nativeomahan

I wish them success. Â However the restaurant theme is odd, and I don't see it as one that will attract many people. Â And poor service will turn people off faster than mediocre food. Â Lets check back on this thread in a year and see if they are still around, or whether the train leaves the station...

nativeomahan

I don't think that the exterior of the building is the responsibility of the tenant. Â And other than putting a metal railing and outdoor seating, plus a rather attractive neon sign, I don't think the building exterior was changed at all since Jazz signed their lease.

Brad wrote:WOWT's new weather guy just called Ross, Russ... Speaking of, if you are going to get rid of Flowers, "Rossie" would surly be on your Radar. Ortiz could run circles around Ross.

Hopefully they make Rusty the Chief and Ortiz the Sports Director.

Agreed. Â Those two are true talents.

nativeomahan

I thought that brix was to open in November? Â They missed the entire holiday season, which has got to be their money season. Â Dumb.

nativeomahan

I love the building but HATE the purple, green, yellow paint job. I will second the question. Â Are you serious??? Â The restaurant is the closest thing to anything located in or near the French Quarter that I have ever seen anywhere else in America. Â And for the most part I truly love the food. Â...

nativeomahan

I still much prefer the Old Market. Â About 5 times the number of options as MTC.

nativeomahan

OMG! Â What a trip down memory lane. Â The Dow Jones was just topping 1,600!

Here is where I first saw it afew days ago and then saw mention on Facebook this AM so that is what started my question this AM. http://nebraskamediadiscussionforums.yuku.com/topic/4697/Jim-Flowers-Out-At-WOWT After some digging around, looks like the Tom Becka is where the rumor started.

Meanwhile their meteorologist Rusty Lord is off work for several weeks recovering from surgery.

nativeomahan

Further proving my point.

nativeomahan

Dave Webber still reappears from time to time, plus he is on all those TV commercials.

nativeomahan

What happened to Jim Flowers? Â Rumor is he got let go.

nativeomahan

A high end steakhouse with a salad bar?! Â And it only offers iceberg lettuce! Â I half expected the Brady Bunch to walk through the door.

nativeomahan

For many years there was a Garden Cafe in Hastings, Nebraska. It apparently has also gone the way of the DoDo Bird.

And yes, I have fond memories of Clark's Cafe.

nativeomahan

The Drover full well deserved the comment. Â I couldn't have said it better.

nativeomahan

This somehow trains firefighters on how to put out a fire by letting a house burn to the ground with no evidence they tried to put it out? Â Looks more like a pyromaniac convention.

nativeomahan

A huge lost opportunity.

nativeomahan

The last time they invested more than $100 in remodeling the place Jerry Ford was president.

nativeomahan

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but Sears at Crossroads has completely shut down their thrid level.

nativeomahan

Remember "Dr. Dave" doing the weather on KMTV? Â He was a podiatrist!
