Rockbrook Village (108th and Center)
My wife and I went to the Rockbrook art fair on Sunday... so I decided to take my camera to photograph some of the improvements which they've made to the 'lifestyle' center. Â The new central plaza is well done, there is lots of landscaping throughout the center, almost every restaurant has inviting outside dining areas, and the facade updates are subtle but effective.

It looks as if the last of the cosmetic "improvements" to Rockbrook have been put in place. Why 2 years ago they ruined the meadow along W. Center Rd. -- turning it from a small nature preserve into a large and featureless drainage ditch -- will forever escape me. All the trees were clear-cut. Now I suppose they have a chance to do something to repair that scarring. The new construction leaves me pretty on the fence, if not down right disappointed in the construction style.
I do look forward to visiting the new wine store. They have a large outdoor patio, complete with fireplace. Rockbrook also hosts some of Omaha's finest restaurants.

Barbara Soderlin WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER wrote:The ArtRoom is one of five new businesses at Rockbrook Village shopping center, offering classes and open studio time for youths and adults, as well as events like a Thursday “Paint and Pour” girls night out and a Friday night “Paint 'N Popcorn,” where kids can be dropped off for an evening of art while their parents enjoy a dinner out.
From the Same Article...Barbara Soderlin WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER wrote:Besides the ArtRoom, Rockbrook's new tenants include: a Scooter's Coffee & Yogurt that's already open; a specialty spice shop opening in November or December; a Subway restaurant; and a spa opening in November that provides laser hair removal, tattoo removal and skin treatments.
At least two other new shops are in lease negotiations.
41st annual Rockbrook Village Art Fair
I will be there too! Â My display will be in front of the Post and Nickel.Barbara Soderlin WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER wrote:What: A juried art show with more than 150 artists demonstrating and selling their work, including painting, photography, ceremics, jewelry and glass.
When: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday
Where: Rockbrook Village shopping center, 108th Street and West Center Road
Who: The fair was founded in 1971 by Gloria Mathews, the late owner of Gloria’s Custom Framing. It now is coordinated by Juanita Galvin, the store’s current owner. “It’s a wonderful mix of people and food and it’s great entertainment for the whole family,” Galvin said.
Parking: The fair attracts as many as 25,000 people, so parking gets “creative,” Galvin said. Spots are available in the surrounding neighborhood, and shuttles will run all day from the parking lots at Rockbrook Elementary School and the Westside Community Conference Center.

Semitrailer fails to make bridge clearance

Roy Facklam was traveling eastbound on West Center Road when he was trying to make a right-hand turn on 108th Street. The outcome: a large dent on the top of his trailer.
"It doesn't look low," said Facklam.

I see that some of those bridges have a warning light on them and truckers still hit them. On the TV report about the Rockbrook bridge, the trucker interviewed said they should put a warning light on the bridge.

Re: Rockbrook Village (108th and Center)
It sounded like most drivers who are trying to get to south 108th St. are guided by their GPS programs to get off I-680 on West Center and turn south on 108th. As large as some of these trucking companies are, I am surprised they don't have 11'8" warnings along the way, or if the warnings is so small and visibly hidden that unless you stop and really study the map, you may just miss them. There are so many yellow warning lights on the roads theses days, I have to wonder if they no longer serve their purpose because they are often ignored.
Re: Rockbrook Village (108th and Center)
They added a bunch of signs and flags yesterday.

Speaking of Rockbrook, the whole front of the building is torn off where the Post and Nickle was.

I was at Rockbrook the other day and there is a "Rizin Japanese Ramen" place opening by the convince store and "Hearts and Fire" opened where the Post & Nickle was.

Was there a date posted for the opening of Rizin? Their sign on the side of the building has been up for several months without any movement or announcements, from what I have seen.

Is Casanova's Butchery expanding or moving down the strip mall a little bit?

Re: Rockbrook Village (108th and Center)
Their annual Art Fair was very busy on Saturday afternoon, despite NU playing (badly) on TV. It was nice to chat with Brad. I kidded him that more and more of his downtown photos are becoming nostalgic period pieces.

Re: Rockbrook Village (108th and Center)
I have a close friend that owns a long time location in Rockbrook.
The landlord is flexible, and knows the retail industry. I feel these upstarts whether it's a restaurant, bar or retail just overdo it scaling their business and get far too deep and can't cash flow. You can't scale your business around your best month and expect repeat growth projections with no bumps in the road.
Not saying that's what happened here, but it's getting tiring seeing this happen over and over.

Dreams are cheap. Everyone has them.
Running your dreams through an economic analysis and putting together spreadsheets is where things get expensive. Having a promising idea, a great set of recipes, and even a decent location aren’t enough for most small businesses to sustain themselves through the lean months.

Re: Rockbrook Village (108th and Center)
Yeah I plan on trying to get down there again soon, but even if "hacked" it is odd that you'd loose your social media accounts and your website would go down simultaneously. Glad it looks like they're still open though.
Re: Rockbrook Village (108th and Center)
Maybe they had a tiff with whoever maintained their online presence?
Re: Rockbrook Village (108th and Center)
Yeah something like that seems most likely at this point, although they had really good photos of their specials every day on the restaurant cafe side that would've required someone to be "very" involved if it wasn't the owner/ an employee. Just still kind of odd all around. It looks like the website and instagram account are back up with a new facebook page.zippy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 10:24 amMaybe they had a tiff with whoever maintained their online presence?
