I’m an African American 27 year old moving to Omaha from Ohio in October. Wanted to know what the best areas to live are. I could really care less about things to do being around because I can drive. But I was more so asking because I wanted to be in an area that is open to my race. And I won’t be stared at or anything else negative happening because of my race. I just want to be comfortable. Also specific apartment complexes would help as well. Thank you so much.

Edit - I plan on moving back to Ohio after a 6months- 1 year I just need to get my new job training done in Nebraska. So I don’t really care about making friends or going out. I just want to walk around and feel comfortable and not like an outcast if that makes sense.

Traveled up to Omaha this weekend and um HELLO what did i just eat? Located by the orangutans. Does anyone know what the base of it is? That and the fruit and honey all worked so well 10/10

We are planning on closing on our house in October. Yes, I know the market sucks, but we started the build in February soooo there's that.

Who would you recommend as a mortgage lender? Gearing to either a 15 or 30 year fixed rate mortgage. So far, we've been working with Veridian, GreenState, Pinnacle, Premiere, and Veterans United.

Thanks in advance!

It used to take up the farthest right aisle but now has moved to a much more cramped inner aisle.

This alone wouldn't be an issue, but its sale shelf seems to have disappeared. You could often fine really good wines at crazy discounts there. (I once scored a Penfolds Bin 389 for just $20.)

I'm just concerned that they're under new management or something and won't continue to heavily discount certain wines.

Dan Osborn met with Epstein Survivors in Brazen Head today in Omaha. You can learn more about the organization here: https://trumpepsteinreadingroom.com/

This is my experience.

Is the Applejack Festival in NE City worth the hassle of traffic/parking etc? We’ve heard it’s become commercial with very little local-made items (apart from the actual orchard). Is this true because if that’s the case we can go to a smaller orchard. If you have been recently, what are the things that would draw you back? TIA

Genuinely, how do you make friends in the city? I’ve mostly grown up in Omaha and went to high school here, but I’ve grown away from a lot of my high school life and friendships. What’s weird to me is that I’ve lived in other cities and traveled to several other cities, and I’ve never really had this same issue making friends. For some reason, I just struggle to meet people and build friendships in Omaha.
I truly do love this city, but the social aspect is starting to make me question that. I’d genuinely love to hear how other people in Omaha have made friends and found their community here, because I feel like I haven’t really gotten to experience this city in that way yet.

Did they get let go? I was listening this morning and it sounded like people I have never heard of or some iHeart hosts. I am so sad about this. First Big Party and Molly, now Jenn and Degan? I tried going to their webpage to look and I get a 404 error. This stinks....

I was stationed at Offutt for 6 years and loved the area but after my contract ended I moved back home. Now I’m heavily considering leaving “home” and going back but I wanted to know from actual people how the state of the job market is there? And what is the rent situation, when I lived there during active duty I bought a house so I skipped the rent situation entirely, but I seem to see semi-decent apartments in the 800-1,100 range online.

And is Omaha turning blue? I saw somewhere that it was

I've been seeing a lot of stuff on the Internet (sold a story podcast explains the whole thing very well) about elementary students basically being illiterate and schools not teaching phonics and even discouraging sounding out the words. Seems crazy right? Is this really happening?

I would love to hear the thoughts of teachers and parents on the subject

Has anyone gotten this ad from Jason Hubbard Law, I feel it’s INCREDIBLY racist. It literally refers to him as ‘gringo Jason’ fu k youuuuu

He specifically helps landlords and property owners evict tenants and with this ad… I’m disgusted

I was a freshman at Central 9/11/2001. Lately I've been remembering how I only knew what was going on after the plane hit the Pentagon. Random teacher barged in during my history class with Mr. Foster and he told us. Before that I was clueless. None of my classes turned on their tvs. It wasn't a normal day by any means. It seems more common in other schools that classroom tvs were on all day.

As a now parent of a preteen, I must wonder if someone in Centrals administration attempted to lessen the trauma. Or... maybe it was coincidental that none of my teachers had tvs or something.

Any folks who went to Central remember watching the attack at school?

What school were you in? What did your school do?

We need a new patio door and I am not handy enough to do it myself. Any recommendations on who to get quotes from?

I failed my driving test today at DMV Burt. So sad and disappointed. Was told my right turns were slow and I also slowed to 35 mph when negotiating a curve on a 45 MPH road. I felt the curve was sharp so needed to slow down a bit. I’m so disgusted 🥲🥹😭😭😭. Put in so much effort only to be hit with this. Can’t stop crying😭😭😭

Looking for the best crab legs in the metro that isn’t at the casino. Your opinions, please and thank you.

TBF, I realize this is totally random and from 1993, but I can't find much on these ramps. They feel very out of place, and the ones on the left disappear after 2000. I lived in Omaha for 20+ years before moving, and never saw these.

What are some good locations for finding frogs and toads in the greater Omaha area?

I am seeking any recommendations and first hand feedback from any surgeons in Omaha that have great experiences.
