  • Omaha Weather, City Council, Softball Rivalry, Casino Expansion, and Student Science Achievements
    2025/04/22
    Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Tuesday, April 22, 2025.

    We start our day with a look at the weather. It is a cool and clear morning across Omaha, with temperatures in the low 50s. We expect clouds to move in by midday and a chance for scattered showers this afternoon. If you have plans to be outdoors or are headed to events later, you might want to keep an umbrella handy. Looking ahead, the rest of the week brings a mix of clouds, cooler temps, and maybe more rain, so plan accordingly.

    There are big developments happening in the city today. Omaha’s City Council meets this morning at 10:30 and again at 2:00. On the agenda are several items affecting our neighborhoods, including updates on street repairs near Dodge Street and new small business grants aimed at helping local startups across North Omaha and South Omaha. Decisions from today’s sessions could lead to new roadwork schedules and expanded childcare options, so we’ll be listening in and will bring you updates tomorrow.

    For sports fans, tonight’s the night for a true hometown rivalry. The Omaha Mavericks host the Creighton Bluejays in softball at Connie Claussen Field. First pitch is at 6 PM. This matchup carries extra excitement as Creighton coach Krista Wood, a legend in Omaha softball and a school hall of famer, faces off against her alma mater. Both teams feature a lot of local talent, including eight players from right here in the metro. The Mavericks have had a strong season so far, so this promises to be an exciting game for fans on both sides.

    In business news, we’re seeing major movement in West Omaha today with the ribbon cutting for the new expansion of WarHorse Casino near 63rd and Q. This project brings more than a hundred new jobs to the area and is expected to draw thousands of visitors each week, helping boost nearby restaurants and hotels. Meanwhile, a ten million dollar civil lawsuit has been filed against Club 180 in west Omaha, raising concerns and drawing attention from both residents and business leaders.

    On the cultural front, the University of Nebraska Omaha has confirmed Baxter Arena will keep its name through 2030, reflecting strong community and donor support. For families with young kids, a special storytime and music and movement event is happening this morning at libraries across the city.

    Real estate continues to be a hot topic, with new listings uptick in neighborhoods like Dundee and Millard. Home prices are holding steady, with the median home price now just over three hundred thousand dollars. Jobseekers will find plenty of opportunities, particularly with several healthcare and hospitality openings posted this week.

    Turning to public safety, Omaha police report a quiet night overall, though there were two arrests near 72nd and Blondo after a late evening altercation. Officers remind us to remain aware in busy shopping areas, as warmer weather often brings an increase in petty thefts. If you see something suspicious, reach out through the non emergency line.

    And finally, on a positive note, local students from Burke High won top honors in a regional science competition, bringing home three medals and making us all proud.

    That wraps up another busy morning in Omaha. This has been Omaha Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Plane crash tragedy, tornado damage, and business updates in Omaha - April 19, 2025 Local Pulse
    2025/04/19
    Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Saturday, April 19, 2025.

    We start today with a somber note. Last night, a small plane went down in the Nebraska River near Fremont, taking the lives of all three people onboard. First responders and investigators are on the scene today, and our thoughts are with the families involved as the community rallies to support them.

    The weather is on everyone’s mind after a rough week. Thursday night brought a tornado north of Omaha near Bennington, which the National Weather Service says was an EF3 with winds up to 140 miles per hour. That twister was part of a system that sent at least six tornadoes across eastern Nebraska and western Iowa, along with huge hail—some as big as softballs in areas like Fremont and Arlington. Homes and buildings were damaged, but no major injuries have been reported from the storms. Today, we’re catching a break. Expect cool temperatures, highs in the upper 40s to low 50s, and gusty winds. Keep a jacket handy if you’re headed out. The weekend looks to remain cool, with some sunshine returning Sunday.

    Turning to city hall, ongoing recovery from Thursday’s storms is already in motion. Emergency crews and county officials are conducting damage assessments, prioritizing cleanup near Bennington and Washington counties. If you see downed wires or debris, please give crews space to work and report hazards to the city hotline.

    In the job market, Omaha maintains a stable outlook. This week saw around 300 new job postings across the metro, with healthcare, education, and logistics leading the way. On the real estate front, median home prices are just above 265,000 dollars, with steady interest as folks look for more space after recent weather events. Some properties in north Omaha and Bennington are undergoing repairs, so expect a slight delay in new listings.

    New business is bustling downtown, where a local coffee shop is opening inside the Old Market next week, just off Howard Street. Meanwhile, a beloved West Omaha bakery is closing its doors on Maple Street after three decades, citing rising costs but expressing gratitude to loyal customers.

    Culturally, the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts continues to draw in artists with its international residency program, and families can enjoy the new “Mission: Astronaut” exhibit at the Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum. Community events this weekend include Monday’s Gifford Farm Spring Day in Bellevue and a city-wide litter pick-up along Dodge Street this morning.

    On the sports front, congratulations to Central High’s soccer team for clinching a regional win, and shout out to Omaha North’s robotics club for advancing to state finals. In local music, The Astro in La Vista is tweaking its sound system after recent noise complaints, aiming to keep concerts lively but neighbor-friendly.

    Finally, for a bit of good news, Quail Run Horse Centre in Papillion is marking a year of rebuilding after last spring’s tornado. Thanks to tireless volunteers and donations, the facility is welcoming riders and giving new hope to the community.

    In our crime roundup, Omaha police are investigating Thursday’s officer-involved shooting near Florence Tower. One person was killed and another injured. Authorities say there is no ongoing threat to the public, but patrols in the area remain stepped up.

    That’s our snapshot for today. This has been Omaha Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Omaha Update: Development Plans, Weather, Police Incident, Job Market, and Community Events
    2025/04/17
    Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Thursday, April 17th, 2025.

    We start today with breaking news from City Hall. The Urban Design Review Board meets this morning and will be making recommendations to the Planning Director on several new site plans around downtown and the Old Market. These decisions could shape the look and feel of our city’s core for years to come, including new mixed-use development proposals and streetscape improvements that might bring more foot traffic and small businesses to our neighborhoods.

    Turning to the weather, we wake up to cool, mild conditions. Expect skies to brighten through the morning with temperatures rising to the mid-sixties by the afternoon. There’s a slight breeze from the northwest, so keep a light jacket handy if you’re headed out. Looking ahead, we see a warm-up into the weekend, with Saturday looking especially pleasant for outdoor plans.

    In local news, there’s been heightened attention in North Omaha after a police-involved shooting Sunday near Florence Tower. Police have confirmed that one individual is dead and another is recovering in the hospital. The investigation is ongoing; authorities urge anyone with information to come forward. Meanwhile, on the public safety front, a missing child from Omaha is safe after being found during a traffic stop in Kansas. The quick cooperation between states brought relief to a family and community that had rallied for answers.

    Job seekers in Omaha are seeing modest improvement in the local market. Several downtown hotels are hiring ahead of the College World Series season, adding around a hundred positions in hospitality and food service. In the real estate world, interest in the Midtown area continues to run high, with median home prices topping three hundred thousand dollars and homes averaging just under three weeks on the market.

    Spring means new beginnings in our schools as well. Omaha Christian High School has announced it will open this fall, offering a new non-denominational option for families across the metro. On the sports beat, Omaha North’s boys soccer team clinched a hard-fought victory against Central last night in a match that went to penalty kicks, giving North a spot in the district finals.

    Looking to community events, families can visit Gifford Farm every Monday this spring to enjoy hands-on learning and meet their famous goats. The Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts downtown is also highlighting new resident artists with special open studio nights this weekend. And aviation enthusiasts young and old can check out the interactive “Mission Astronaut” exhibit at the Strategic Air Command and Aerospace Museum in Ashland.

    To end on an uplifting note, Omaha is once again showing its caring spirit. Volunteers gathered at Lauritzen Gardens yesterday to help plant hundreds of native wildflowers, part of an effort to beautify our public spaces and create more habitats for pollinators.

    This has been Omaha Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
