I always thought The Gap did well in Kearney (I think it couldve been better in GI). NTV also reported Hastings was closing their 39th Street location, but audio and video stores are a thing of the past.

There is no reason that GRI doesn't have service to ORD, MSP, DFW and DEN, along with wherever Allegiant wants to go. That give GRI service in all four directions and to the major hubs. This airport should do a quarter of a million available seats outbound a year. GRI does have daily flights to D...

Great news! Now if they would only add a flight to a Delta hub.

Is it just me or is Hastings dying?

She was at the NBC affiliate out of Hastings before she went to Omaha. She wasn't the greatest out here.. A little goofy.

That place was also located at the mall in Lincoln. I still remember to this day how gross the food was, my grandparents loved it.

That was my favorite place to eat growing up! Best Mac and cheese and French silk pie!

That always reminds of of how the Taco Bell off of 72nd and Dodge in Omaha was for so many years. Eventually, I guess I just got used to it. It is poor design though.

GRI could draw United to Chicago & Denver, American to Dallas, Delta to Minneapolis and maybe Atlanta and Allegiant to Phoenix, Las Vegas and Orlando. It may take a lot of doing and years to complete but with the right airport board & management having a can do attitude one could make the ...

i only remember the last quiznos, i never knew the first one closed down but maybe 3rd time the charm? lol. The one in Hastings is decent and is located in a mini strip mall on burlington across the street from the police station. I agree with you Subway would be the bottom of my list too 1. Fireho...

Firehouse is pretty good. i second this, i would prefer firehouse over subway/quiznos/jimmy johns if there is one close to me and soon grand island will be the closest I have only had firehouse once. It was decent. I think of the other 3 you listed, Subway is on the bottom of that list by a long wa...

At this rate it will be reduced down to a Quik Trip before its all said and done.

FAA funding has been approved. Dirt work begins in October. The Independent just reannounced that this project will be starting soon. One line from the article really grabbed my attention. "Ten years ago, the annual passenger total was 6,200. Now it’s a record high of 57,000." That is qui...

One thing the fair board is trying to do is bring in more people. Pricing has a lot to so with that. They did a $2 entry fee night on Tuesday this year and had great success. I heard they are wanting to expand that to both Tuesday and Thursday in 2015. Food costs will be $6 and up for most things. P...

Wasn't the original I-80 plan going to expand to 3 lanes each way out to York? It's been about 25 years since I read it, so it's a little hazy.

edsas wrote:Another 2.4 miles of widening I-80 to 6 lanes. It will mean the closing of that west side ramp that enters I-80 in the left lane. Kind of a shame. I always liked that ramp for its unique nature.

It is unique, but for those that aren't used to it, I always worry a little about going through there.

Now that the three lane interstate is complete between Omaha and Lincoln, I have been noticing all the dirt work happening on the west end of Lincoln. Can someone point me toward what is happening there?

I just spent the last week in San Francisco. After driving there for a week then coming back to Omaha and instantly hitting rush hour traffic coming from the airport, I'd rather be back in San Francisco. I loved the carpool lanes for cars with 2 or more people. It made things so nice. If a carpool s...

Delta adds flight to Lincoln airport The daily flight will leave Lincoln at 7 a.m. and arrive at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport at 10:47 Eastern time.

Not sure when it will be opening up. I'd imagine by the end of Summer though. Men's Warehouse should also be opening up around the same time.

I am still waiting to see what takes over the newly renovated bays on the northern end of the mall near PetSense and Hibbit Sports.
