What’s happening at 42nd & Center in Omaha? This week on Omaha This Week, we look at the proposed redevelopment of Center Mall and the neighborhood conversation surrounding the future of the longtime Omaha property.
We also highlight Collective for Hope, an Omaha nonprofit providing free grief support from its new facility at 8000 Chicago Street, and the Nebraska Humane Society’s Barks & Rec program, which lets people take shelter dogs out for a day, or even longer, and helps give adoptable dogs time outside the shelter.
Plus, the Omaha Comedy Festival takes over downtown Omaha September 24–27 with stand-up, improv, magic and special events across 10 venues, including Block 16, The Green Room and The Peregrine. Pat shares why the festival has become a place to discover comedians before they become much bigger names.
Also this week:
Shake Shack is officially coming to the Omaha metro at Ameristar Casino in Council Bluffs
AppleJack Festival returns for another weekend at Arbor Day Farm in Nebraska City
Crescent Moon hosts its 25th annual Oktoberfest in Omaha’s Blackstone District
Croctoberfest returns to Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo
Village Grinder rolls out its fall football menu
And the team debates whether people have completely lost their social and spatial awareness
