I say "black" coffee, because I mean actual, plain coffee, not a coffee-based drink.
No arguments based on "buy local" or cafe ambiance or anything (i.e. -- if you like Starbucks, that's fine). Base your vote on just the coffee.
I saw a possibly unhoused person walking across 33rd and Minnesota tonight. His cart fell over and spilled at the corner and he was struggling to get everything back together. I pulled into a nearby parking lot and walked over and was surprised someone else was already there to help. Shout out to the guy in the pickup that helped him. I am proud of my city tonight.
I remember a few years ago that a LongHorn Steakhouse was supposed to be built as part of the 41st Street redevelopment near the empire mall, but it obviously never ended up happening. I’ve been to a couple of LongHorn locations in Omaha, and I’ve always thought the food was great, so I was looking forward to having one here in town.
Does anyone know what happened with the plans? Was it canceled because of COVID, or did something else happen with the deal?
I also feel like it could’ve been a nice alternative to Texas Roadhouse, which seems to be packed nonstop, especially on weekends. Would’ve been nice to have another option in town. Just curious if anyone knows the actual story behind why it never happened.
