May 2021 Village Pointe, Omaha’s First Open-Air Mall, Celebrates 17 Years
Village Pointe, Omaha’s westernmost shopping center, at 168th Street and West Dodge Road, was the first major shopping center to be built in Omaha since the 750,000-square-foot Oak View Mall opened in October 1991.
The new shopping center’s design reflected the latest trend in the industry, which was away from enclosed malls and toward smaller strip centers. The cost was $124 million.
May 2021 Happy Hour: Daily Dose Midtown
It’s a blessing and a curse when you specialize in something and do it so well that people struggle to think of you doing anything else.
Nobody knows that better than Daily Dose Kitchen & Bar owners Matt and JenLyn Long, who have been killing it at the breakfast and lunch game so long that most people don’t realize they now offer dinner at their Midtown location. And not just dinner – a traditional happy hour (3-6 p.m.), as opposed to their Mid-Day Happy Hour I wrote about last year. I loved the idea and the execution of the Mid-Day Happy Hour so much that I even chose them as an editor’s pick in last year’s Best of the Valley: Best Weekday Brunch.
