Someone mentioned on here awhile back. Not sure where the thread is. I originally thought they were adding a second, but someone told me the other day they were just moving.

Granted, I haven't talked to Rob or Renee in awhile to confirm it from the horses' mouths...

Whats wrong with the Leavenworth location? To me they are one of the staples needed to stay to help revitalize that area.

CB? Why in God's name?

Streets, CB, why not???? You are really getting sickening.

Post by **Brad** » Mon Feb 07, 2011 2:49 am

I would rather live in CB than West Omaha...

Thanks, Brad. I get tired of people putting down CB. It is a wonderful town. I moved here from West Omaha 12 years ago and haven't regretted it.

I don't think Streets was trying to bash CB with his comment. I think it's just confusion because they seemed to be doing well at that location, and there is potential for that area to grow in the future. The move feels pretty random.

Thanks, ShawJ. Exactly.

EastCB, sorry for the confusion, but there's also no need to jump to such wild conclusions. I love CB.

You could have inserted "Bellevue", "Papillion", "Ralston", "La Vista", etc. into my comment.

I asked Renee the other day and he said that they are moving into the space next to the chamber office, across the street from barley's. The gallery is moving there, too, and they expect to be open June-ish. He said they are pretty excited, and that they will have a hall that could be used for receptions, etc.

This is an awesome 'get' for Council Bluffs, especially the 100 block of broadway, which is in real need of a sit-down restaurant (and a dammed good one at that). My wife is pretty stoked, too, because with the added space it will be easier (relatively) to get in.

Is it open on Leavenworth in the meantime? Better get in there before they go just to see the original.

It sucks that they're moving. Downtown CB should be a nice place for them, but it's sad that it will no longer be walking distance.

Yeah it's still open on Leavenworth.

Midwest Living magazine had a nice article on Dixie Quicks. Mentioned that they were moving to CB this summer. Can't wait. Will be able to walk there, although it will take 25 minutes. But still the same time as driving now. And good exercise to work off the meal!!!!!

That sounds great, EastCB!

Just to clarify...
They are closing the current location when they move????

The Leavenworth location isn't the original one. Years ago it was across the street from the old UP building.

It’s all a part of the Bluffs Renaissance

More than just the basic interior work is being completed inside a building in the 100 block of West Broadway.

“The excitement is building,” said Rob Gilmer. “People in Council Bluffs and Omaha can’t wait to see it and neither can I.”

Gilmer is co-owner of Dixie Quicks, a longtime downtown Omaha restaurant soon to set up shop in the remodeled Hughes-Irons Building, just west of the new headquarters of the Council Bluffs Area Chamber of Commerce. The RNG Gallery, located in the Omaha restaurant, is moving to the new site, also.

The anticipated opening date for the restaurant and gallery is mid-October, Gilmer said. . . .

The dining room will seat about 90 patrons, with outdoor seating along the street. The RNG Gallery will continue its display of edgy art pieces from paintings to sculptures. Space can be rented for receptions, also, Gilmer said. During recent tours, local artists have been “blown away” by the potential there for showing off their skills, Gilmer said.

In fact, numerous Omaha businesses owners who have seen the site have expressed interest in relocating to Council Bluffs, he said. . . .
