r/Omaha

Saw you driving along Hwy 370 in your dime-a-dozen pickup that let's you pretend you're a cowboy or whatever fuckin' ever. Might have been a generic enough ride for me not to even notice, except you'd gone to the trouble of putting "NOBODY CARES [line break] WORK HARDER" in the back window, in all caps, spelled out with 14 individual san-serif capital letter stickers.

I just wanna say, as a 58 year guy who's been working since 15, whose wife has been working full time as long as I've known her, who's kid is self-employed and making more money than I ever dreamed of at her age:

Go fuck yourself.

I've been looking for a fresh date idea for my wife and I saw the Cottonwood Hotel is offering High Tea daily. Has anyone been? It's a steep $50 a ticket and they don't offer a lot of info or photos, but I think she would love it if they do it well.

Any other fun / different date ideas would be appreciated if you feel like sharing, thank you!

Big Snap's health declined rapidly over the weekend, leading to the decision to humanely euthanize him on Monday. While heartbreaking, this decision was made with Big Snap's comfort and quality of life in mind. His goodbye was peaceful and painless, and he passed surrounded by the staff who have loved and cared for him. Big Snap left a lasting impression on thousands of people during his 30 years on display at the Schramm aquarium. He was believed to be the world's largest common snapping turtle, weighing 102 pounds, and was estimated to be between 96 and 100 years old. Big Snap Daddy will be dearly missed by those who cared for him and those who visited him. 📸: Nebraskaland Magazine (@nebraskaland) & NGPC staff #NeGameAndParks #OutdoorNebraska"

So many kids went through the Aquarium and saw that big guy.

I have an outdoor concert Thursday evening, but would prefer not to do it myself.

Does anyone know a reasonable place to get a car battery installed? Im a disabled veteran and have a TBI. We need a new battery, which we bought, but I cant install it. Also I cant drive so my wife will have to take it in and I dont want her to get unsold or talked into stuff we dont need. We just need the battery put in. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Im in Bellevue but anywhere in the Omaha area is fine.

I am trying to make some sense of what happened to me the other night. I went and saw a 9:15pm show at the funny bone. Our server, Candace, was pretty rude off the bat. She made it clear she didn’t really want to be there or waiting on us. I had the 2 drink minimum and for some reason blacked out that night after I left. I don’t remember much and I couldn’t walk because I fell and messed myself up pretty bad. I’m not going to go into much more detail, but my question is, has anyone else in omaha ever left the funny bone feeling like they had been roofied? I don’t want to blame or blast but there is NO WAY it could have been some rando walking by. We were pretty much up front and I was at the front of a table of 6 people. One of my friends would have seen something like that. I don’t know if it could have been the waitress or something after, but my memory starts to get very fuzzy when I was leaving the bone that’s why I think it may have happened there. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

Hey everyone. Sioux Falls resident here. I was planning to go to Ethel Cain on Thursday and have two GA tickets through Ticketmaster. My dog is unwell and I don’t want to leave him so I’d like to get rid of the tickets. They cannot be transferred or sold for less per Ticketmaster rules but I’d love to sell them cheap or basically give them to someone. I can link my tickets and once I get the refund can send you money back.

This is truly not a scam, I’d just hate for the tickets to go unused and they aren’t selling on here. If you private message me we can talk on the phone or FaceTime so you know this is legit.

I think what I’m looking for is nonexistent, but I thought I’d ask anyways: is there any Catholic churches in the area that lean more liberal?

After everything that’s been going on, but also hearing what the pope has said and is doing, I’ve been curious about possibly attending mass. I grew up Catholic and have not truly gone to church in years, but I also don’t want to go where my family goes (as they are still actively involved).

I hope that what I’ve said makes sense and would really appreciate any insight or guidance. Or let me know if this is a lost cause. Thank you in advance!

So, I've done a bit of research into possible cults around Omaha. There's plenty of information about the Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen, Intercessors of the Lamb, World Mission Society of God, and Lord of Hosts.

What I CANNOT find information about, however, is the 2x2's, or the Church with No Name, and why they're associated with Omaha. I know that they do not have an actual church, and that they hold sermons and services in their "friends" (members of the cult) homes. They do a yearly congregation in York, Nebraska, where people from all over the country come to participate in the sermon. It seems as though there is a very deep history of known child abuse tied to this cult, and Omaha is a location that keeps popping up when doing research.

Has anyone from Omaha had any experiences with the 2x2's, or knows someone who has? Why is Omaha a prominent place for the 2x2's, but there's no information anywhere about them being around here? What prompted the FBI to investigate in Omaha?

We Make Omaha, the group currently working on Omaha's new Comprehensive Plan, is setting up an interactive "Future Lab" in Aksarben Village for the month of May where you can go and see 4 potential futures of Omaha's land use and give feedback on what you want to see in the Comprehensive Plan to be released in 2027.

>A downtown coffee shop has announced its closure, citing "the current state" of the area as the reason.

>According to the Manhattan's Coffee, Deli, and Grill's website, the last day for the 18th and Farnam streets location will be April 24.

>The coffee shop has another location inside of Aksarben Village. 

>That location is staying open.

Here is an article about 'Manhattan's Coffee' when the location opened in December https://omahaexploration.com/2025/12/12/denny-brauns-manhattans-coffee-deli-grill/
