What would you like your town to have?

There are at least two Red Robins in the Omaha area (one on W Maple and on in LaVista near Shadow Lake).

I would like to In N Out Burger. Not real sure about stores... I'm not too picky.

As far as North Omaha goes... the neighborhood, to some degree, gets a bad rap. There are certainly pockets that aren't very good but as a whole, it isn't that bad at least not compared to a lot of cities. I grew up in north Omaha and attended Omaha North and never had a problem and never really felt unsafe. In fact, it is an excellent high school and provided a lot of opportunities to me that I wouldn't have otherwise. I now have a nephew who lives with his mother in a pretty poor neighborhood and its not like they're trying to avoid drive-by's. He does a fairly good job in schol and stays out of trouble for the most part. There are definitely hard working people that live in North Omaha but they don't make the news. Unfortunately, the violence caused by a few make the situation look so much worse. Now, there is a Wal Mart off of I-680 and a Target on 72nd but its difficult to find much in the way of chain stores as you go further north east.

Jack In The Box. I think they should come to Nebraska. The people would love the commercials, at least.
