Does theft of political signs or religious signs fall into the same thing?

I'm more apt to judge them for not mowing their lawn and cultivating a dandelion farm that spreads into everyone's yard than the Trump, Biden, Pride or choose life things that they display.

This brings back memories of the Fox Photo Huts. A nimble snow plow could have leveled one of those.

What we really need is a tourist attraction that will create enough revenue and sales taxes. Anything that can lower the taxes we all pay.

Looks like a Fast Food and a Coffee Shop: https://planning.cityofomaha.org/images/PDFs/PlanningBoardApp/2023/June/23.pdf Coffee is definitely a scooters, but I don't recognize the fast food floor plan. We can rule out BK. As bad as many of Omaha stores are they seem to be better than many other cit...

So, planet fitness is moving in next to the CHI clinic. This shopping center has had some big wins lately, but with Aldi and Planet Fitness moved/moving here, Dave & Busters and company are losing anchors across the street. Last time I was in Dave and Busters the place looked like a tornado had...

Taco John's used to send cease and desists lawyer letters to anyone using Taco Tuesday. They would literary google up the phrase "Taco Tuesday" find random bars and restaurants across the country using it and have their legal team send them letters about it. They still go after the larger...

Any bets on when the first encounter is with drunk and disorderly patron is or when the city council gets complaints?

I'd take fewer coffee huts as well. Coffee and car wash >>> profit from water.

Amigos > Taco John's > Taco Bell.

As far as Omaha's TJ, they are operated by the former Operations Manager for Simmonds Restaurant Management. He acquired the franchise when Mike Simmonds retired. I think his name is Jeffrey Brenmer.

John Knicely has been a staple in Omaha for as long as I can remember. But I'll be darned if he cannot make it through 1 news cast without fumbling his words. They must love him there. It's time for his contract to not be renewed. He has to be making more than Jim Flowers was making when his contra...

I thought it was out of Sioux City with Becka's segment sandwiched in.

Becka's left leaning gaslighting won't be missed.

That’s pretty reckless reporting on KETVs part. If they took 5 minutes to actually look at the listing you would understand it’s an investment sale with 18 years of lease term left. They are implying and presenting the information as if it is closing. I’d be upset if I was the Omaha GM at this repo...

Is this transition going to make K&G better? I personally think Bucky’s was better managed than many Casey's. Hopefully Maverik maintains the K&G standard.

Yes. Thete was also locations at 50th & G and 90th & Fort.

I should have recalled that. My dentist used to be in that strip.

A lot of the strip stores are vacant for years now. Add to that the theater now. It's not a great destination.

I live in Deerwood. It's not hard to get around town. The exit off Potter can be tricky during rush hour, I would suggest taking State Street where there's a light instead. I don't mind living here now, I'm wondering if the new Celebrity subdivision will bring more retail or just congestion. There'...

The exit from the Avalon/Deerwood neighborhood from Potter onto Blair Hwy is tricky at rush hour. That should be getting a light sooner than later. See the Cherry Creek Thread. I've read it. But my HOA has contacted the county who told them that there are no current plans to put a light on Potter &...

How many long term locals say Giles road one of 3 ways? Childs, Guy-les, or Jy-les.

I'm not yet ready to throw Copeland under a bus yet.

I'll also add you'll almost always know when Able-1 is up as the area is in the flight path to get to and from the Blair Airport.

bbinks

The exit from the Avalon/Deerwood neighborhood from Potter onto Blair Hwy is tricky at rush hour. The Celebrity development will flow into that exit or onto 114th to go to Military or State. Outside of 730-830 and 430-530 traffic is ok

That makes sense. The old Target is waaaaaaaay too much space for what Family Fare needs.

Anyone remember what it was before Target?

Maybe it’s underfunding. Maybe it’s lack of artisans to do remodeling. Maybe it’s an inability to find sufficient employees. Maybe it’s all three. But a great many announced “coming soon” restaurants in Omaha never seem to arrive…at least not in the same year their “coming soon” signs are proudly e...

Noticed a banner over the sign this past weekend. New business is a Taco place. Didn't catch the full name.

I figured Mullhalls would have bought it.

One thought is will they build new or take over an existing building. The old McDonald's on 72nd or Wendy's on 90th for instance would need a lot of work. Looks like scavengers have been through both. Still cheaper to remodel that a build new. I didn't find any properties in Douglas or Sarpy other t...

I'm not a huge fan of the Food Lovers Facebook page.

A fair page regarding Omaha restaurants should be objectively facilitated. There are a cou...

I was told once that the coke is delivered in stainless steel tanks so that taste isn't impacted the way it is if they came in a bag I've heard that too, but it's only at McDonalds. They have some exclusive thing worked out with Coca-Cola. Here's an article I found: https://www.rd.com/article/mcdon...

This landfill has been in use since about 2005. Used to be on the west side of 216th. I'd think it's getting near being full.

I live in a Hearthstone area. Exact homes as mine can be +/- $10,000 in valuation. The current system is not fair. Diane Battiatio ran on fixing this. She failed.
