Does anyone know the history of the small neighborhood of residential houses all turned commercial buildings to the east of the hyvee on 90th and Center? Curious as to how that all shook out.

Two best conference records.

I just realized this didn't really answer your question. My bad.

Someday, in the not so distant future, I hope we realize that these houses look like they are car storage facilities with garage doors that take up 2/3 of the facade, and that builders reconfigure them to look more like people live there. I’ve always hated how much some houses front facade is just ...

Hurrdat is the same. Why on earth are 55 tvs necessary for a single bar.

Updated Site Plan... The "entertainment" portion of the operation has been removed from the development proposal (i.e., hotel, restaurant, etc. are no longer included in the development plans). The planned facility upgrades now include: New box hangars across 5 buildings to the south and ...

it would be fantastic if they did develop it and incorporate the history of the river down there. Have a bar on a barge or something, stationary riverboat/playground area, etc. Good luck with that though. I liked The Dam Bar down there, but the city basically forced them to close citing environment...

I think they are still stripping the place down.

Think they'll need to take the top off and replace the roof? lol

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...

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...

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.

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.

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.
