Mavericks Fall to Pioneers, Huskers Baseball Wins, Potholes Fixed, New Businesses Buzz in Omaha
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Sunday, February 15th. We start with breaking news from Baxter Arena, where our Omaha Mavericks hockey team put up a strong fight on Senior Night but fell 3-1 to eighth-ranked Denver last night. The Pioneers pulled ahead with two third-period goals, leaving our listeners heartbroken after a gritty performance at home.
Shifting to sports highs, University of Nebraska Huskers baseball impressed in Arizona, rallying for a 7-4 win over Northeastern at Sloan Park in Mesa. Two-out hitting sparked five runs, with standouts like Dylan Carey blasting a solo homer and Joshua Overbeek driving in two. Our Big Red stays hot at 2-0, facing Grand Canyon tonight.
City Hall updates bring good news for daily commuters: council approved a 10 million dollar fix for potholes on Dodge Street and 72nd, easing those bumpy rides to work or school. Real estate heats up too, with median home prices around 285,000 dollars up five percent year-over-year, drawing families to West Omaha suburbs.
Job market shines with 12,000 openings posted last week, many in tech and healthcare near CHI Health Center. New business buzz includes the grand opening of a craft brewery on Leavenworth Street tomorrow and a popular downtown coffee shop closing after 20 years.
Weather today features sunny skies after yesterday's light snow melted off runways at Eppley Airport, perfect for outdoor walks along the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge. Expect highs near 42 degrees with light winds, outlook clear into tomorrow.
Crime report from the past 24 hours notes a sensitive arrest near 24th and Ames for a vehicle theft ring, no injuries reported, and police urge locking cars in North Omaha neighborhoods. Public safety first, folks.
Local schools celebrate Creighton Prep's debate team taking state semis, and quick sports nod to Burke High girls basketball clinching a playoff spot.
Upcoming, join the Winter Market at Old Market tomorrow from 10 a.m., and a free concert at Holland Performing Arts Center Wednesday.
For a feel-good story, community rallied to rebuild a playground at Stinson Park after wind damage, with volunteers finishing it yesterday—pure Omaha spirit.
