Malik Newman Leads Kansas Past Duke and Into the Final Four

I didn't hear the show, but I did notice the date line just said Omaha, with no NE. This was good to see. Is that what they mentioned?

Professor Woland

I have a completely different opinion than you two. I tried the bao, pan fried bao and dumplings. All were super bland and the homemade hot sauce added zero flavor or heat. I give them 6 months. I liked the food, but I do think they will have trouble. Not because "Omaha isn't ready for it"...

Professor Woland

My wife, our son, and I ate at Hip Bao today. I was expecting a really long wait, but it wasn't too bad. The food was really good. It's a small menu of what would mostly be considered appetizers so you shouldn't go there if you're looking for a standard meal. But I can stand by the quality of the fo...

It would probably make more sense to merge Douglas and Washington Counties. It would give Omaha proper plenty of room to grow, and I don't think any of the cities in Washington County are big enough to avoid annexation, but I'm too lazy to look it up.

I understand that some people deserve to die, and, if someone ever did something like that to someone I love, I would want to slowly torture them to death over the course of several years. That said, the understandable rage and anguish of people affected by atrocities should not be the basis of law...

I wil definitely vote against Ricketts, though he has been kind of good helping push through asset forfeiture reform and pushing for more law enforcement accountability. Ultimately his role in helping to bring back the death penalty makes me unwilling to vote for him.

After the big trade Cleveland was short handed tonight so Korver played most of the game and scored 30 points! After trading off half the team Cleveland was able to beat Atlanta tonight 123 to 107. Ditching Isaih Thomas was a great move. Thomas looks like an old man when he walks. Tyrone Lue's hot ...

There is an article from Omaha Magazine from December of 2017 called "Fancy Food In Historic Buildings" where she explained what happened. She was able to meet state and local requirements for the building, but things got hung up on the federal level. Before the federal approval came thro...

Curious if this thread is going to go back to discussing changes to 1200 Landmark Center? Or if this "discussion" is going to go back to the same beat-the-dead-horse |expletive| that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand? I'll bite. I was disappointed when this property was ...

I'm fine with it not being a restaurant, there are a lot of eateries in the area, but it would have been awesome if a good menswear store or specialty food store had opened up there. Maybe the house that the realtor was using can become something like that now. This whole fiasco reaffirms my belief ...

Boston.

The only reason the Jennifer Coco thing fell apart was because of the regulations surrounding a historically protected building. The costs got too high so she had to pull out.

Professor Woland

1. For the streetcar idea to die once and for all. 2. "Chamber of Commerce" weather during our big events. 3. For a lot of office space to be used up. 4. Big surprise philanthropic effort to build a science and natural history museum. 5. An announcement of a successor for Thomas Wilkins, a...

There's a really good restaurant at Charles Schultz Airport in Sonoma County, CA.

Professor Woland

This seemed to be an appropriate thread in which to ask a few questions. I will be in Omaha on a consulting gig this week and will have about 4 hours of free time either Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon. I will have a car, so opted to drive to the Old Market district for lunch and to walk around a bi...

Maybe just the thing to reverse two years of crappy news.

Looks like "SADDLECREEK 1011 LLC" owns all these lots: saddlecreek.JPG I don't know if it is important to note that 4856 Pacific is not owned by SaddleCreek 1011 LLC. That and the corner property at 1025 Saddle Creek are owned and operated as a day care by Donna Collins. It's the infant h...

To NC State, an Adidas school, I wonder if anything fishy is going on here.

That's a relief. We eat there a few times a year. It's my favorite Omaha restaurant, it's where my wife and I ate after our wedding and where we eat every anniversary dinner.

Harry Dean Stanton.

Professor Woland

The only way he's forced out is if the Dems take both houses of Congress in 2018. I would have thought this was a certainty at the end of 2016, but the Democrats are doing everything in their power to leave Congress in Republican hands. They're doubling down on the things that cost them in 2016, the...

Has anyone been to Umami in Bellevue. I hear it's crazy good---definitely on my list for my next Omaha visit. I haven't been there yet, but a guy who I really trust raves about it. He has eaten dozens of Michelin starred restaurants and some of the really pricey sushi places in New York and Tokyo. ...

Does Omaha really need another chain burger/pizza/whatever joint, or a chain anything? Omaha has plenty of home grown places that are much better than In& Out, Shake Shack, etc.. Sometimes I think the people posting this stuff are really cardiologists trying to drum up business. I think Omaha i...

Professor Woland

If you really want to get new businesses to Omaha, then open a franchise. All it takes is money. I don't think Shake Shack does the franchise thing. If they did I would kidnap some of you, harvest your kidneys, and sell them on the black market to bring it here. Not that I'm a violent person, but I...

Being marketed on loopnet for $1.2 million. I must have posted this in a different thread, but Chef Jennifer got tired of waiting for this building to get ready, Rumors were also that she wanted rooftop access. I noticed they were doing a lot of rooftop repairs last year... That would have been the...

Per ASSOCIATED PRESS : Nebraska senators eye bill to avoid electoral vote-splitting http://kios.org/post/nebraska-senators-eye-bill-avoid-electoral-vote-splitting It makes the Nebraska GOP soooooo mad that the 2nd district electoral vote went to Obama is 2008.

They killed the voter ID measure. Excellent. While I can understand people's desires to protect the integrity of elections, the sort of election fraud these laws are ostensibly intended to combat are pretty rare. It's less risky and more effective to commit election fraud using other means than by h...

Stothert wins re-election. Either candidate would have been perfectly acceptable, I think this was probably the better outcome.

Professor Woland

It looks like the OWH has endorsed Stothert for a second term.

Voodoo Taco posted on Facebook that the owner/founder Eric Newton has passed away. WOWT had a link to their story on this on Facebook. Some of the comments on the Facebook post were unbelievably rude I think the comments sections on news stories are where the worst of all the internet trolls hang o...

Professor Woland

The street repair issue might end up being the demise for the Stothert administration. If that's the case, we will end up footing the bill for the 300 miles of streets not up to city code. Hope not. I am genuinely angered when people intentionally screw us and get away with it. The people involved ...

Overbooking should be considered an act of fraud. If you paid for a ticket you should have a seat on the plane.

While I don't think either would be an unmitigated disaster they both have positions or aspects which are nearly or actually disqualifying. Mello has support from Bernie Sanders, this is as damning as if Stothert had an endorsement from Trump. I can't in good conscience vote for someone with support...

We may be seeing some very reasonable airfares from United here in the near future. I don't think I would fly them if they paid me. If there is any justice (not holding my breath) the cops who beat that guy and the United employees who brought the situation about will pay out the wazoo to the victi...
