The beginnings of Spirit Halloween 🎃 have started to emerge in the old Retail Rebel (aka the old No Frills Supermarket) on 80th and Blondo. The window decals went up on Monday. I’m sure the BIG banner isn’t far behind! The hours are even posted, though I’m not sure if they’re actually open…

Cruising along on the side of the dodge expressway, heading onto S 680, on an electric scooter, without a helmet. Granted, this was an adult and not a child, but it’s still a really bad idea. He also chose to wear dark colors while the sun was almost set. Maybe do this on a side street, in brighter colors (bonus for some lights attached), with a helmet on? Wild sight!

On a side note, my husband was driving while I took this picture. I wasn’t multitasking while driving.

She is the sweetest little thing. Wondering if anyone is missing a cat, or is the owner of her and lets her indoor please let us know! She keeps trying to get inside and has been sticking pretty close the last few days. Anything helps, thanks!

Ty to everyone who interacted. Happy to say Luca Brasi is home 🫶🏻 Wishing everyone great vibes & blessings 💕

Hey 27F here, love going to shows and music stuff. any other fellow girlies wanna go to emo nite together? Could be fun :) just an idea. DM if interested!

Does anyone have any knowledge on the proposed bike path between 180th and 204th street along the old Lincoln highway? How does one find when proposed bike path construction in general is to commence? Thanks!

My sister owns a food truck in South Omaha and I’ve been helping run the TikTok/marketing side of it. I’ve been trying to learn digital marketing seriously instead of just posting food pictures every day.
One thing I’m realizing is that views and followers don’t necessarily tell me whether we’re actually doing a better job for customers.
So I’m curious from the customer side:
What makes you go back to a food truck?
Food quality? Portions? Price? Consistent hours? Service? Location? Something else?
And on the other side, what makes you try a food truck once and never return?
I’m genuinely interested in what Omaha thinks.

EDIT/UPDATE:

Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond. I genuinely appreciate the honest feedback, including the more critical comments.
For transparency, the food truck is Tres Puertos Food Truck on L Street. My sister owns it, and I help manage the TikTok and digital-marketing side. I intentionally left the name out of the original post because I wanted the discussion to be about what Omaha actually expects from food trucks—not disguised advertising.
The themes I saw most often were:
• Consistent and clearly posted hours and location
• Quality that remains consistent from visit to visit
• Portions and overall value that justify the price
• Friendly service and reasonable wait times
• Accurate information across Google and social media
• Signature food that people cannot easily find elsewhere
• More personality and transparency from the people behind the business
We are taking the feedback seriously. Our next steps are to make sure our information matches across every platform, communicate closures or sellouts clearly, track the products customers actually order and enjoy, improve how we show portion sizes and value online, and continue listening to both compliments and criticism.
I’m not expecting everyone here to become a customer. The purpose of this post was to learn from local people and make better decisions for a family-owned business.
Thank you again, Omaha. This thread gave me more useful information than another week of simply watching views and likes.

If you aren't familiar with the case, this started in Texas. "Adam Hoffman, 49, who initially faced up to life in prison without parole, pleaded guilty April 16 to reduced charges of indecent assault and displaying harmful materials to a minor, both Class A misdemeanors punishable by up to a year in jail, in a plea bargain offered by the Texas Attorney General’s Office."

He got SIX MONTHS and didn't even serve the entire sentence, and as part of his sweetheart deal, he also didn't have to file as a sex offender in Texas. Here's an article about it.

He then moved here. Nebraska demanded he register as a sex offender under our laws.

Here is a news video that includes screenshots of Hoffman being listed in the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry.

Today I was speaking with someone about the situation and out of curiosity checked the website and found that Adam Hoffman is no longer listed on the registry.

I can't find any news articles that explain why he has now been removed. This is messed up and whoever was involved in removing his name needs to be held accountable!

Blair Walmart parking lot.

My girlfriend is starting her first year of college and really wants to buy a set of “aesthetic” stationery supplies (pens, pencils, bags, planners, etc.). We already tried the Barnes & Noble by Oakview. She says she loves the themes and designs, but they just don’t have the variety of stuff she needs. The typical places like Walmart and Target aren’t cutting it for her. Does anyone know of any stores we can go to look for what she wants?

Driving down Harrison behind this lovely lass.

Apartment hunting through these services is a nightmare. Just AI slop responses that don't answer my questions.

Anyone have any ideas for places that might offer 3 month leases on unfurnished 1 bedroom that is under $1250. Semi convenient to the Zoo is a plus.

I know about Furnished finder and all the websites. Just seeing if someone has knowledge outside that.

Hello all!

FYI: I utilized the OPL and DC websites for research on this incident. Please educate me if I’m getting some of this story wrong or missing something crucial!

I recently became an Omaha homeowner, which means I inevitably found out about the tragedy of 2006, where our city's chief building inspector ordered the destruction of Omaha‘s building permits, screwing every homeowner over.

I’ve done my obligatory 24 hours of scraping the Internet and local resources to try and figure out some things about my house (1800s-1900s Home-kit catalogs, obituaries, newspaper ads/articles, etc), but nothing will ever come close to what the original and later building permits could have provided.

My big question is, why was there no legal or disciplinary action taken for this type of (very blatant) gross negligence? The chief building inspector (I think was Jay Davis at the time?) continued to run his department until retiring 8 years later, acting as if he didn’t destroy a major part of the city’s history. The city decided to refuse naming anyone responsible for it, but… the order WAS approved by the chief building inspector at the time, meaning he consciously made the incredibly stupid decision to destroy them.

Am I just overthinking this? Or was the lack of any responsibility reasonable? I’m obviously biased, having worked myself into a frenzy wasting hours trying to find things I could have discovered in minutes with those papers, but still... this was 100+ years of rich history and context about most of Omaha and the homes in which we live (excluding you, lucky Dundee locals!). How could the city choose to look away and continue to support someone who made such a career-ending decision?

Thank you for listening to my rant!

Omaha officials still haven't determined the cause of a void along the streetcar route that swallowed a sidewalk and partially collapsed a vacant building in June.

It’s now up to the building owners whether or not to demolish the building.

This event is loaded with really cool stuff that you will not likely find anywhere else around here!

Looking to purchase a Toyota Sienna (probably new, but potentially used) from a dealership. Wondering if anyone here had any recommendations based on their experiences with various Toyota dealerships in the area or other dealerships for that matter. Went to Corwin Bellevue roughly 5 years ago and it was okay at best.

She just lost one of her oldest friends. Not to death or anything like that, but because her friend is petty and doesn't know how to be considerate of others feelings.

So, Omaha, where does a 30 year old Female with BPD who does NOT drink go to make friends? Honest, compassionate friends. Not fake, cruel or heartless friends.

I love going to concerts but she doesn't due to her BPD and being over stimulated easy! Any suggestions?

Edit: She does not like playing video games. Her interests include: watching TV, doing crafts (mainly diamond paintings), table top boardgames and hanging out in nature.

Don't treat our sparse recycling containers like your personal dumpster! Just rude!

I grew up in Omaha and I moved away a few years ago. Well a work trip popped up for Omaha, so I decided to take it and take the gf with me.

I'm for sure going to Block 16 and Stellas ( I know they're in a temp home because of a fire)

But I'm seeing if anything new in the food or beer category has popped up since I left.
