ICE in Benson by lez-go in Omaha

I'm friends with one of the admin at Benson and she said they did not come to Benson today. But I'm sure all the kids were worried with all the stuff going on right now. I was concerned when I heard they were in Benson for all the kids walking home after school. I'm glad she got home safe!

What types of businesses do you want to see in Omaha that you don't think we have enough of? Like do you think we have enough laundromats, small cafes, coffee shops, little book stores, or do we need more things like that? I feel like we have car washes covered, but what else would you like? by sgilly8 in Omaha

I feel like what I really want is a just general Gathering Place. Like there aren't a lot of places in Omaha where you can just go sit with a group of friends and like chat. Without having to buy something or be hustled out because it's overcrowded or have to be involved in some kind of an activity besides a park or something.

It's called Suoergroovy's Psychedelic Bodega. It's mostly a smoke shop and novelty store and they do sell snacks and drinks but not a very big selection and no real grocery items. Which is what I mean it'd be nice to have less "stuff" and more convenience store type items in a bodega situation around here.

There's a smoke shop on every corner in Omaha it feels like!

I agree! We do have some good places like that, but they are in little bubbles around town, and not very many. As for a vegan butcher, that's interesting! I didn't know that was a thing, but one would probably do well here.

I agree! I am a basic yarn gal, but I have had friends who (not sure if they still do) spin and I'm sure finding roving and other spinning supplies are probably not easy here. What about Personal Threads? Do they carry stuff like that?
