Mavericks Lose Close One, Unicameral Session Ramps Up, New Coffee Shop Opens in Midtown - Omaha Local Pulse
Published 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Friday, January 2nd. We kick off the new year with our Mavericks men's basketball team putting up a strong fight last night in Brookings, South Dakota. They battled back from a double-digit deficit to tie it at halftime, thanks to Julian Margraves four three-pointers and a layup, but South Dakota State pulled away in the second half for an 84-69 win in the Summit League opener. Paul Djobet led us with 22 points, 17 after the break, and we head back to Baxter Arena tonight at 7 p.m. to host Kansas City, starting a three-game homestand. Grab tickets at OMavs.com.
Shifting to city hall, the Unicameral session ramps up soon with new laws on the table that could shape our daily lives, from traffic fixes around 72nd and Dodge to property tax tweaks affecting neighborhoods like Dundee. Keep an eye on those debates.
Weather-wise, we have partly cloudy skies this morning with temps hovering around 28 degrees and light winds off the Missouri River, perfect for a brisk walk in Fontenelle Forest but watch for icy patches on sidewalks near Aksarben Village. Expect a high near 35 this afternoon, staying dry through Sunday.
In new business news, a fresh coffee shop just opened on Leavenworth Street in Midtown, bringing artisanal brews and local pastries, while that old diner on 24th near North Omaha closed its doors after 40 years, making way for community redevelopment.
Job market stays steady with about 5,000 openings listed locally, many in healthcare around Nebraska Medicine and tech spots downtown. Real estate sees median home prices around 285,000 dollars, up 4 percent from last year, with hot sales in West Omaha suburbs.
For community events, join the Winter Market at Slowdown tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for local crafts, and the Old Market Ghost Tour kicks off Friday night.
Quick school shoutout: Burke High just won their holiday tournament championship, 65-62 over Lincoln East. On crime, Omaha Police report a vehicle break-in cluster near 13th and Douglas yesterday afternoon with no arrests yet, and a DUI stop on I-80 led to meth possession charges, reminding us to drive safe.
To warm your heart, listeners rallied to help a Dundee family rebuild after a kitchen fire, raising over 10,000 dollars in a day via neighborhood apps.
