Flood Relief, Fairacres Mansion & Weekend Fun: Open for the Scoop

_{Was this e-mail shared with you? Sign up here.}

Well hello again!

Look who's back! We're doing a little happy dance over here because you stuck around for issue #2.

Quick question while we have you: what was your take on our first go at this? Anything that made you think "YES, more of this please"? Or maybe something that had you scratching your head? Seriously, we want the real talk. Hit reply and let us know what's on your mind.

We're on a mission to become that newsletter you actually want to open: the one that clues you in on the good stuff happening in Omaha. New coffee shop? We're on it. Street fair next weekend? You'll know first. That weird construction project blocking your usual route? We've got the scoop.

Anyway, thanks for giving us another shot. We promise we're just getting warmed up.

Catch you around the neighborhood.

🪷 Clio

Clio feels like a postcard from the Aegean, all white-washed arches, upbeat chatter, and pita puffing warm clouds onto your glasses. Kick off with the mezze flight: silky hummus and za’atar-dusted crispy potatoes, then graduate to chicken or salmon kebabs charred just right.

Zero-proof spritzes and a sommelier’s treasure chest of adventurous wines round things out. Book early; tables go faster than those share-worthy Turkish beef dumplings!

👞 Brown's Shoe Fit

Do you know how Brown’s keeps Omaha smiling?

Brian, the in-house shoe whisperer, sizes you up with a Brannock gadget, then riffs on New Balance foam, Birkenstock cork and steel-toe tech until you find your match.
Their shining star, Bruce, a laid-back lab mix patrols for ear scratches while special orders wait until you’re ready!

Plus, front parking means you’re laced up and back out in minutes. Learn more here.

🚨 Nebraska Boots Hit the Ground in Texas

The Gist: When disaster struck central Texas, Nebraska didn’t hesitate. Our own Task Force 1 packed up and headed south, joining search crews working around the clock after deadly floods. Here at home, the Nebraska Humane Society is hustling to make room for rescued pets, and local Red Cross and Salvation Army teams are pitching in with food, shelter, and support.

Why It Matters: In true Heartland fashion, Nebraskans don’t wait to be asked, we just show up, ready to lend a hand (or a paw). Learn how you can help here.

🗞️ Omaha Star Expands with New Museum

The Gist: Beloved Omaha Star newspaper just marked its 88th birthday with big plans to honor founder Mildred Brown. The original newsroom will become a historic museum, letting neighbors step back into daily life in 1942. Meanwhile, construction is underway on a new, upgraded newsroom next door, and community members can add their names to the Star’s Walk of Fame Park.

Why It Matters: It’s a proud moment for North Omaha, recognizing a local institution that's always given voice to our stories. Read more here.
