I have never been on this blog before. I left Omaha in 1944. I have relatives there, some of whom lived in Benson. It's neat to see the names Benson and Dundee. It brings back memories of living in Omaha and visiting Benson. Where is the name Aksarben?
How about the Fontenelle Forest, if I spelled it right?
Go, Big Red.

If his music wasnt as terrible, I could care less about his politics.

and there plenty of crappy musicians on the right too. and there are good singers on the left also.
So now he's a "real" singer, you just don't like him?

A few years ago the Aksarben racetrack was redeveloped into a new urban development called Aksarben Village. It has shops, apartments, condos, a theater, and some dorms and classrooms for UNO. Have you been back since 1944?

that is what should have been done in benson, instead of turning it into the bar captiol of the state with a over-saturation of bars.

Benson had an old racetrack to redevelop?

I'm curious...why do you have such a problem with bars and people having fun?

Benson actually doesn't have enough nice bars. Places like Krug and Jake's are shoulder to shoulder every weekend and it is even tough to find seating on weekdays.

Conor has to act like a MSLSD (I mean MSNBC crank) top compensate for his awful music

and btw I am right: I highly doubt the average omahan could name a CO song cause Conor has never had a a good or successful commercial hit.
LOL...this guy is such a troll that he even argues when people agree with him.

I dont have problem with bars in benson or people having fun.



first off, there are 15-20 bars in benson, that is over-saturation of a business.



a little more business diversity in benson would be nice. not everyone in benson is a drunk or hipster.

a grocery store or a dollar tree or a movie theatre like dundee in benson would nice. not everyone in benson is a drunk or hipster



second, i dont drink. alcohol is not my thing
