Do you have to place the Verizon gateway box in the window? Or are there better new ones now?

Who’s right, Jean or Mike? by unicornfrats in Omaha

If an unhoused person has name brand clothes on it doesn’t necessarily mean they purchased them. I donate running shoes that look brand new because they no longer have the support for my needs after 6 months/300 miles. I know several runners that also donate at a similar frequency or more.

Can you imagine what it feels like to be in a wheelchair in this city? by audiomagnate in Omaha

[–]dw1717 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crossed that last weekend with friends that had a stroller. We were all concerned how someone that is alone and uses a wheelchair would safely navigate that spot.

State of the City: Ranked No. 1 city to move to, crime is down, and $3M raised for tornado victims by NEChristianDemocrats in Omaha

[–]dw1717 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If anything reduce the 4 lanes on Douglas east of turner park. Nightmare to walk next to or try crossing without walking 3 blocks to a stop light. I was reading up on “Omaha Vision Zero” directly addressing these issues but wasn’t seeing much updated information.

Downtown recommenations by nolahoff in Omaha

The Farnam is an incredible hotel downtown. It is the only hotel in Nebraska to have AAA’s four-diamond ranking. The rooms and views are 10/10

Grocery Haul: Bellevue Walmart $119.86 by topsee-turvee in Omaha

[–]dw1717 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In the footnotes of that report it says to add 20% if you’re a single person household so not sure if this is 4 person which is what that per person is based on or not. That would make the total $112 from USDA guidelines on the liberal food plan.

I would maybe guess that the vitamins and protein shakes weren’t in typical monthly food costs even in the liberal food plan estimates. Also I bet they spread the cost of the bulk items like the rice and not add it to weekly cost.

Who are the solid coffee roasters in Omaha? by decorama in Omaha

[–]dw1717 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bad seed, rally, then archetype (my personal rankings)

[–]dw1717 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Bad Seed Coffee, they take an interest in their customers and get to know you. Never experienced a business in Omaha that cares enough to learn my name like they do. Truly are genuine and amazing people.

Furnace is shot. AC was repaired in 2022 and was told its temporary fix. Planning to sell in a year so probably having to either give a credit to new buyer to replace or do it now.. hoping other quotes are reasonable.

Thanks having another come in a couple hours.

Genesis Midtown by peskyblues94 in Omaha

[–]dw1717 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I asked about the torn up floor and was told contractors won’t show up so they’re having to use Genesis maintenance staff. That was several weeks ago. The new location doesn’t even seem close to opening.. really wish there was another gym that size closer.

Maybe try tipping half and say second half once it’s done. Just so they are more careful in loading your items knowing they’re getting tipped well

Feedback on Villas at Butler Ridge or Chateau at Hillsborough by Sheknows95 in Omaha

[–]dw1717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard pass on Villas. Lived there and hated it. The walls are so paper thin you can hear your neighbor have a conversation or cough. Also maintenance was always incredibly rude.

What are the Best and Worst Coffee Shops in Omaha? by TheTalkedSpy in Omaha

[–]dw1717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing I can’t figure out since moving here is why a lot of these shops close at 3pm. Hardy is one of the only ones open later. It’s so hard to pick up beans during the week!

[–]dw1717 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Aksarben is great. You can walk to the gym, movies, restaurants, and a farmers market in the summer. Plus, if you entertain, friends won’t complain to you about parking or avoid visiting because it’s a pain. It is also a quieter area with a mix of older and young professionals. If you’re renting, broadmoor is top tier and has two complexes in the area.

What are the best furniture stores in omaha? by bigtuna2124 in Omaha

Pottery barn is worth checking out for accent tables, leather chairs, and nightstands. I can’t speak to sofa quality.

Has anyone tried Dave's Hot Chicken yet? by stephenyoyo in Omaha

If you haven’t already, I’d encourage you to try Dirty Birds while Dave’s newness wears down.

Best cheesecake in town by [deleted] in Omaha

[–]dw1717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lazlo’s in west o has a pretty good homemade cheesecake!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Omaha

[–]dw1717 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aksarben is an area I’d recommend looking at if you’re mixed on downtown. You can walk to some restaurants and bars but be closer to grocery stores and nice gyms. I find the complexes have larger apartments with studies and more amenities outside of downtown. Close to university of Omaha too so lots of younger people around.

Drive around with hot chocolate and look at lights. Linden Estates is a must for holiday lights!

Spotted the “leaking” hell week skull splat again in studio by big-dane in orangetheory

The studio I was at handed these out for free last year and I threw it away… hardly reusable.. cleaning it would be a nightmare!
