coming into town next weekend. yeehaw
That place is pretty damn good.My buddy works (worked?) at Three Happiness for the longest time.
Fuck, I always take this shit serious. Kinda freaks me out. I can't even hear thunder yet in midtown
I live over in Northwest Omaha and the winds don't seem too bad although I do hear a bit of thunder.
Yeah, at 156th and Maple area it is just a run of the mill tstorm at this point. Don't blame anyone for sounding the alarms based on that radar though. Better safe than sorry, especially after the Millard tornado a few years ago.
Kudos to Ch7 weather btw, they are always on top of this stuff.
I'm gonna be in Omaha on June 1st. Definitely going to check out Taste of Omaha while I'm there and maybe the Old Market and gardens.
Any other, maybe lesser known, places/shops/bars anybody would like to recommend?

Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo
The #1 Vacation destination in the United States
That must be one hell of a zoo! It just got added to the list.
Yeah I think the zoo is neat, but I'm still surprised when people from like.. LA and NYC tell me they visited it and thought it was better than their own zoos.
I think it's because Dr Simmons was essentially the Walt Disney of zoos. Too bad he never got the pandas he wanted.
They have the master plan on the website. They're going to get rid of the cat complex and put them in outside displays in the forgotten east side of the zoo, which should be pretty neat.

Over-under on Omaha getting one on the map tomorrow? We're right on the most direct route.
Because if they do.. I think people around here are going to start seriously looking at electric cars.
Other zoos I have been to are pretty pathetic. I am so desensitized to the zoo now, however, since we have a family pass and go 5 times a year or so.
Definitely check out Kingdoms of the Night. Pretty awesome exhibit. We got to do a tour one night where they turned all the lights on, cool seeing all the nocturnal animals sleeping in the simulated sunlight. Then we got to go to the jungle at night when all the bats are out flying around. Getting buzzed by a bat at 30 miles per hour is exhilarating!
I've been in everything bunches of times. Kingdoms of the Night is good, although a bit too crowded for me lately.
It seemed super special as a kid, but ever since we were able to afford passes I got there a lot. Last year I was trying to get in shape and walked the zoo almost every day for a month. Didn't dull it for me at all.
I have to remind myself something when I'm in there that I'm actually still in South Omaha, it still feels like you're going somewhere else when you go through the gates.
I still have not pulled off viewing every exhibit in one visit. Sometimes I have to tap out after just the Lied Jungle + Desert Dome + Aquarium loop.
Yeah, I have a 3-year old and a 5 month old. We usually hit the jungle, aquarium and gorillas or cats, then peace out. A lot of times we mix in the Kingdoms or butterflies, but not always,
Dairy World is getting nuked in the new master plan. They already buried the pond.
It's going to be some sort of south american village thing
sucks for my nostalgia, but it's going to be a much better place
re: tesla, it looks like they updated their page but not exactl locations just yet

Coverage

2014 – 80% of the US and Canada
2015 – 98% of the US and Canada
That has to mean Omaha is getting one.
If you look at their changing slider image, they actually mean I-90 through SD. Not sure which to trust.
No way they go through nowheresville. At least i-80 has population...
Well, that route does have Mount Rushmore. How many attractions of equal size are on the I-80 corridor?
Great Platte River Road Archway Monument trumps Rushmore.
Lol, that thing is a joke.
Ever taken the tour inside of it? It's kinda neat, if you're into that whole pioneer thing. But yeah, totally lame from the outside. But I mean, it's outside of Kearney. What do you expect?
Maybe once when it first opened, don't remember much of it though. I'm sure it has some neat stuff, no doubt, but it is quite ugly and a pretty poor draw (hence its bankruptcy).
you got a link to that list? i'm curious to see what's on it.
and yeah, the zoo is superb. they've done quite a lot of work over the last 3-5 years (let alone the major changes done since i was a kid), and they're about to start on a complete overhaul that will change the entire layout of the place. the Rosenblatt Stadium memorial thingy will be a cool touch.
Not as bad as those rusty spears and jagged metal on top of that bridge in Council Bluffs. What were they thinking?
