i remember that, it was on the corner of 27th & cornhusker, i THINK raising cane's is where it was use to be.

Just learned that Carlos O'Kellys in Kearney closed. Their lease was up and a remodel wasn't going to be manageable, economically. Grand Island and Lincoln stores are not affected. For what it's worth, they couldn't have possibly been harder to get to. The food speaks more than the location, medioc...

Add the Hastings Radio Shack to the list of those about to close. Sounds like they could be shuttered by the weekend. Radio Shack hasn't been relevant to me in 20 years, I'm afraid... wow really? have not heard anything, but i do know that the well-read book store in downtown Hastings is closing, t...

2 of my co-worker and i went there yesterday for lunch since it was closing, mind you the last time i was there was back in 2004-2006, we waited 20 minutes for for food since they had one person working up front and one back in the kitchen running the fryer. I got the combo(2 pieces of fish, hush pu...

It's actually 3 closings, South burger king( North(by the high school) is getting a major makeover) Applause Video (owner is retiring) Long John Silver I was hopping that when the south McDonald got built that Sunmart and other fast food down in that area would benefit from the extra traffic but i g...

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...

You beat me to it, i was going to post this after dinner. I grew up in Hastings and currently still reside there, i have wondered many times why they decided to build it there in the first place, yes the city was growing west back in the 80s but i would have built it where super walmart is now. My r...

the new brochure for the project: http://tsgproperties.com/graphics/resources/documents/c03ba82901ce.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; This will really change the landscape of the area! Although, I am wondering if they can fill the store fronts. There are still several ar...

was in grand island last Saturday and saw the Petco sign has been up west of Bed Bath and Beyond. Anyone know when it is slated to open? Drove by Petco last night. Sign says it will open June 9th. Great! now i won't have to make random trips to lincoln to go and get aquarium supplies or order onli...

Any chance you can give us a "hint" at which company this is?

Tri-Cities has been growing crazy last couple years, even in hastings(where i live)has seen growth with Perkins halfway through construction and recently they started landwork for Autozone just south of Perkins.

Depending on what your budget is, when i first started getting back into photography again i had a canon XSi with a 18-55 kit lens and also bought a sigma 55-200. Â It wasn't untill 2 years later that i upgraded to a Canon 60d and got a 50mm 1.8, sold the kit and kept the zoom, I still have that 60D...

Wonder when it is going to open, i am really excited now.

Petco or Petsmart to take the last unfinished space to the west of Shoe Carnival. Confirming that it's "Petco" that will be going in to that center. Heard a rumor there was going to be a Village Inn in GI mall area. Didn't say the exact location but I was thinking in the southwest corner...

Interesting mix of cars. Is it like a mix of car clubs? There's a surprising number of Austin Healey Sprites, Porsche 914s and E21 BMW 3-Series. Yes different clubs every month and each club has different class for faster/slow cars, Â RMVR is definitely my favorite event of the year. Most people ha...

Panda Express looking to come to Grand Island. Also, Pet Smart may still be showing up as well. Not sure how that will turn out with Pet Sense just opening this weekend. Men's Warehouse to build to just east of Bed Bath and Beyond. Petco or Petsmart to take the last unfinished space to the we...

Sounds pretty comparable in price to Mid America Motorplex down by Glenwood

It is and even tracks that i have been to from colorado and ks are priced similar.

Btw candleshoe, come down to hastings next year around labor day weekend if you want to shoot cars(vintage) for a change. Race MPH Park. Cool! I had actually planned on being at the Melon Roast classic car show in Hastings that weekend, but I committed to something at the State Fair that morning an...

bbtran72

candleshoes pretty much answered it when it was in the early years. Â But now that it is SLOWLY getting popular due to friday night street drag, they should build a bigger stand because on any given night when it is held, you can expect over 150+ people watching easily. They do have security right a...

Is this track open to the public? In the not so distant future I plan on making a cheap road course race car and have been bummed about the lack of racing options around the area.. 8) YES it is.

If I had known about this, I would have had hundreds of photos on my page by now. Who is the promoter? And why as this place been so obscure? Promoter/ guy running the show is the track manager.

There isn't really a Grandstand, which is sad because big events(80+ cars) like these will bring hundreds of people and there's only 1 stand that holds 30 ish.

Here's a better view of the track(2.1 mile) looking south west with highway 6 on the bottom right and UP railroad intersecting it. Â I have been working for the track since it opened in 2006 and i doubt even 25% of people on here knows about it or been there. Though i admit it is a really sweet trac...

These guys come to MPH(Motorsports Park Hastings) every year during the weekend of Labor Day and they are a blast and also super lould. I am supprise the track does not advertise this event or most of the events they have because i'm sure lots of people would come since they do not charge to get in....

The only place i can see them(target) building at is between Webb Rd. & 281 & North Front St, it is actually big enough to fit a super target . But gisbuxfan and candleshoe knows the town better than i do. Btw candleshoe, come down to hastings next year around labor day weekend if you want ...

agreed to what candleshoe said, traffic flow was so much better than last year. I went saturday with the fiance and her family and even went on the skytran( which is not bad) but it is barely/if any faster than walking. Â Good turnout though

I was in town saturday and cvs looks great, panda's construction on the other hand is going snail pace[/u]

Don't know you if guys have seen this but this would be where the development by DQ is. The prices are a little bit high, 1 bed/1 bath 564 sq. ft. for $635-$655.

That's great to hear, never was a big fan of panda express but it will be a great addition to GI. Candleshoe wasn't there a rumor about that last year? seems like we are hearing that every year now.
