Well I was going to respond to you guys with a lot of the things I am excited for in 2016, but I will have to get to that some other time.
The Old Market lost an icon and it really has put a damper on the new year. A century old building burned all day Saturday with sub zero temps after dark making it extremely hard for the amazing fire fighters. A gas line was hit an explosion lead to a fire. M's Pub a restaurant and Nouvelle Eve a clothing store have been on the ground floor of this building for 40 years and are gone. M's especially wears heavy on me b/c it has always been a go to for me. From first dates to holiday celebrations it has served me well for years and decades for others. Truly an Omaha institution. This corner is the direct heart of the Old Market and it just feels like the whole city lost a piece of its soul. Fingers crossed they can rebuild.
ConAgra is a bigger loss on paper, but this one feels like a punch to the gut.
