Perkins gone
I just noticed today that the Perkins near 108th & Maple (back by la quinta if that's even still there) is closed and there's for lease sign there. No idea how long it's been closed. Are there any Perkins left in Omaha?

At least six months. They closed the same time the "new" perkins on 108th and L went 24hours.

That Perkins at 108th and L is fairly new..They contructed it a year or 2 ago..It's a pretty large Perkins with a conference room dining area..
According to their web site, their are only 2 Perkins left in Omaha (S 72nd and 108th & L):

Ha! That's a good one Asten.
Of course, back in the day, I lived on Richey House, and that doesn't even compare to the classic sign (that mysteriously appeared in the middle of the night) 'Firkins Sucks'. Sadly, that didn't last long.

let's just say ours lit up letters of "Firkins" in a very specific sequence that the women across the courtyard in friley found offensive, once they figured it out.
I had no part in it, though. 'twas built before my time.

Re: Perkins gone
I can't remember how long ago it closed, but the old Perkins in the ground floor at the SW corner of 108th & L Best Western has a dumpster and a freight container at that front door. Was all the Perkins furnishings still in there all this time?

Re: Perkins gone
That dumpster or another one have been sitting there for at least three weeks. I saw it on my last trip to Rotella''s and that was three Saturday's ago.Coyote wrote:I can't remember how long ago it closed, but the old Perkins in the ground floor at the SW corner of 108th & L Best Western has a dumpster and a freight container at that front door.

I think it closed sometime in 2015
