I haven't heard anything about the old eat the worm building but I know that all the Tenants that were living there had to move out so I would imagine that process isn't a quick one. I did see construction has started on the old Stadium club on 10th street and overheard it was going to become an Irish Pub? anybody know anything about that?

That’s a shame!

I imagine the middle part of the day was tough for regular business.

Sounds like Chef David Utterback is going to be opening a new Japanese steakhouse and a separate Asian hand rolled place in the old Mouth of the South location. Great get for the old market!

It’s becoming a bar. I think it’s owned by the same group that owns Wine, Beer, and Spirits.

Not the most exciting news in the world but the Cubby's fuel canopy was looking about ready to topple over maybe a week ago and that has since been removed.

Where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talking about a little place called the Old Market.

I haven't seen them yet, but I would assume they would look good. They should be nice contrast with all the dark brick and other dark building materials down there. Should look really nice in the fall too. Funny they are calling them "Native Aspen", while there are native aspen out in the sandhills, there are none native to this part of the state.

They look "great" as in a sort of Charlie Brown way now...

and yet, more in a few years or so true greatness awaits.

A bit of a strange concept. I’m surprised it lasted this long.

Popcorn is not something I’d ever desire while drinking a cocktail.

Popcorn only works at dive bars that have a popping machine in the corner.

The concept was good. We went with 6 people, who got 6 different drinks, and got 6 different matched flavors of popcorn. The popcorn was really good.

What wasn't good was the waitress who told us she would be in when she was done smoking. The 8 people who left because there was no server in the bar.

It’s been up for maybe a year.
If you watch the Grow Omaha Un-Cut from the past weekend. According to Trenton, they have been paying rent in that bay for 5 years. Apparently they are looking for a franchisee to run it.
:shock:
Not sure when this happened but the sign has changed and now says opening Winter 2026.

I'm not sure what's going on with Antique Annex but the space appears to be for lease.

The rent went up enough that it was no longer profitable. I did hear that Grapefruit had eyes on the space.
