Ground breaking for the new Omaha Royals stadium in Sarpy County last Wednesday was reminiscent of the Field of Dreams, except it was the real thing. There was a large crowd of enthusiastic baseball fans surrounded by cornfields. As the crowd awaited the ceremony, they were treated to the usual ballgame fare of hotdogs, peanuts, and cold drinks.
While Sarpy County is one of the fastest growing counties in Nebraska, it still retains the feel of small town and this stadium will only add to that cohesive, friendly atmosphere.
The Omaha Royals team was warmly welcomed and the crowd was happy for a glimpse, if not an autograph, of hall of famers, George Brett and Bob Gibson.
Let's play ball in April of 2011!

Joel & Lois assisted with the sale of my listing at 7709 S 155 Ave in Giles Ridge by representing the buyer.
Having a good agent on the other side of a sale makes closing a deal much easier and it makes my career much more enjoyable.
I hope we can do more business together in the future.

During a recession it is great news to hear of a business that is not only staying afloat but doing much better than many other businesses. Specialty bike stores are doing well in the Omaha area as well as throughout the country. In 2008 sales reached $6 billion and have not appeared to have eased off this year. According to local shops, they are selling more bikes in the $400 to $500 price range rather than the higher price bikes which sell better when the economy is good.
With high gas prices, the need for inexpensive family entertainment, and the focus on exercise as a healthy lifestyle, now is a perfect time to bike. And, sales are proving the point.

The construction of Aksarben Village brought a great mix of retail, entertainment, academic and residential revitalization to mid-town Omaha NE.
One of the entertainment and recreation attractions of Aksarben Village is the new Stinson Park at 67th and Center St. The park is 4.5 acres and includes a performance stage, a 100 foot tall tower, picnic shelters, and huge open green spaces.
During the summers on Saturday nights there is free entertainment. Each Saturday alternates between a movie and a live band. Last Saturday we packed a dinner and our lawn chairs and went to the park with a few friends to watch that '80's hit Footloose.


Here is a schedule of upcoming events at Stinson Park at Aksarben Village.
