New Omaha Openings, Late Nights at the Zoo & What to Do This Week

from Pat and JT Podcast · host Hurrdat Media

There’s a lot happening around Omaha this week, and we’re getting you caught up. Pat Safford and the Hurrdat ONE team are talking about the opening of Omaha Bagel Co., Culinary Dropout coming to Village Pointe, giraffe encounters during Late Nights at the Zoo and a new free waterpark experience at Heartwood Preserve. Colette takes us inside the Joslyn Castle Carriage House Café and the mission behind its partnership with UNMC’s Munroe-Meyer Institute, plus a trip to Wahoo for Fariner’s Industry Night and a look inside the newly opened Book Club Society. We’re also talking about what makes Elkhorn feel like a Hallmark movie, Amazon delivery drones showing up over Omaha, a great local story involving Douglas County Sheriff Aaron Hanson—and somehow, shower lamps enter the conversation. Then we wrap things up with Colette’s Question of the Week: Does summer feel different once you’re officially out of school and in the working world?
